If you are active in the Optimism Superchain then stop on by to share what you’ve been working on and learn what others have been doing! It’s a great time to reflect on the week with incredible people.

“That's a good place to meet and make your contribution and receive your reward. The Optimism Fractal Community is amazing, and I feel great about it. This is my view on Optimism Fractal: it's my weekly accountability group session that holds me responsible for what I'm producing, either for that community or for other communities. As you said earlier in the program, we have all these little connections, and we're stitching them together. I like to think of it like a patchwork quilt, where each of us is a singular patch, and we're stitching and sewing them all together. At the end of the day, we're going to produce this very beautiful, massive quilt. With that being said, we get to showcase our work, which is awesome. We get to hold each other accountable for our work, and then, as you mentioned, we're evaluated by our peer group on the quality of our work or the time we spent doing it. We get rewarded with Respect, a token which I think is another little activation in your brain, a synapse of building confidence. So yeah, that's how I like to think of Optimism Fractal. I'm there as often as I can. Sometimes I have commitments in my in-person life that prevent me from being there, but I enjoy the time I spend there very much. It's really cool what they've built, and like you said, Hats Tree - they have their own Hats protocol in there. I think I've claimed almost every single hat that I'm eligible for, so my Hats Tree is expanding.”

need to jump, thank you very much for hosting this, see you soon! 😊

This is one of the most bullish pieces of web 3 I’m excited about. Fractal governance through gamification is super exciting and I’m glad we at @ZAOMUSIC are building a fractal game to progressively decentralize voting power within our community!

This was a great event and thanks for having @letsgrowdao, congratulations on your win also. Love those agreements modules on your hats tree.

Hello everyone! I’m excited to join the Optimism Fractal community. Looking forward to learning, collaborating, and growing with all of you. Let’s make the most of this opportunity and build something great together! Pura vida! Thank you for the warm welcome, you all made me feel at home! I look forward to seeing what’s new soon. Greetings to everyone!

This fractal thing is really something. All communities that adopted this protocol are flourishing. Even despite lack of funding.

So great to be here. Just went through the respect game site, it’s cool, so apparently I joined the game yesterday in the breakout room and played without knowing 😆 So it’s sort of like a consensus game where the players come to a consensus on who the winner is 🤔 a game where the players are both the players and the umpires.

6:33 Kassy expresses gratitude about how welcoming the onboarding process to join the meeting was from a user’s perspective. She noticed that Dan was advertising the Optimism Fractal event that Rosmari helped to design, then clicked on it, signed up very easily, and was able to join. She aims and hopes to become more active in the Optimism Fractal community. 7:31 Kassy introduces her work at the Upscale Fractal community, also an Eden member from Dan Larimer’s project. She feels like there are a lot of synchronicities between what Dan Singjoy has done with Optimism and what they’re doing and the ability to join together really inspires her. She’s a huge fan on Dan Singjoy and expresses excitement about the wonderful experience and energy to be around and to collaborate with. She hasn’t seen this special quality in many people and she’d like to help promote it in anyway she can.

Had a great time at today’s @optimismfractal event. Progress is being made to make the fractal event more autonomous. @dansingjoy and I worked over the weekend to set up @hatsprotocol tree for the organization and gated a CharmVerse page behind a Hat! Exciting stuff! If you’re looking for an uplifting community where you can share your positive contributions to @optimism, then this is a great place to be and you should come to next week’s meeting!

Introducing OPTOPICS

1:25:03 Gene expresses appreciation for the Optimism Fractal team's work, eager to participate further. The meeting concludes, with Abraham and Gene inspired by the discussions and efforts.

What you guys are doing here, this is the most beautiful seedling portion of community building and what makes these amazing protocols and these tools and ecosystems in web3.. Really nurturing each other, sharing what you build, and then my opinion or my thoughts on this Respect Game is incredible because it creates this subtle accountability from week to week, as well as excitement because you want to grow with your peers and impress them. In web3, in this remote industry that we are in, so much of us are just on our computers and in our rooms. So much of putting your heart and soul into something is just simply being seen and simply being recognized for what you're passionate about building, and that is missing across the space. That very simple recognition gets lost in these Telegram and Discord channels. So the fact that something like this exists where builders can come together and showcase and feel appreciated and grow together is really really powerful. So I'm happy to be here. I'm very curious about the origin stories. Rosemary shared the white paper here to learn more because I would love to support this initiative, reproduce it, spread the word, all of it because I think it's just really important. So I appreciate the time you guys have put in and work and the care that you spend on this. I'm just really really happy to be here. It's been a great first session and I look forward to more that I can attend. I'm super super slammed, but this is important. You can't really ignore the roots. So anyway, thank you so much.

Min-Si-Wang shared feedback at 45:08, she’s observing and mentioned she likes the Fractal app as it makes things easier.

Feedback by Christina was shared during the event at 56:32. Christina mentioned that the meeting was very sweet, she sees why people like to come back

Bullish on Optimism Fractal!

As a general thought, I’m personally interested in exploring mechanics where we could bootstrap project from 0–1–10 going from an idea where people contribute to a PoC or MVP where people can get onboarded in. Usually this process is un- or underfunded for acceptable reasons, but it also leaves the initiatives on the people that can incur the opportunity cost. It would be impressive if we could establish an elephant path where initiatives get rewarded respect regardless of its success, but on effort, and that respect recipients earn some retro-active rewards for efforts taken. This would reduce the opportunity cost, incentivise experimentation and accountability and simply provide more opportunities to more people. The lightweight and simple process of the respect game could very well fit that purpose. At the end of a season, some matching funds could be made available to retro-actively reward respect earners.

Let’s look at Optimism Fractal, a group that meets weekly to play experimental consensus games. The event is currently hosted by Optimystics and is open to anybody who wants to attend https://optimismfractal.com 🧵 1/

It’s fun! Bunch of people from all over the ecosystem sharing progress. The evaluation and reward system is really slick for all the tech involved and the people are nice. It’s like an hour of positivity on Monday, the day that deserves it the most :)

Feedback by Loring was shared during the event at 1:04:07. Loring enjoyed the process and hearing from new people, would come back again. He may consider integrating Respect Game into Shutter community.

Love this. I have only been an active participant but can’t wait to be a contributor soon enough!

Just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge some other builders in the space. Sometimes, it’s so easy to get caught up in the constant daily obstacles faced when building in an emergent technology. 🤔 I joined an event yesterday on short notice with ~9 ppl. Unsure of what to expect, I was pleasantly reminded of how many brilliant and well-intentioned people there are in web3. Cheers to @DanSingjoy, @nftgamerweb3, @RosmariDigital for putting together a community initiative for others to share their past week of work in web3! 🙏

It’s a really cool experience. I think that it actually was a very efficient way to share work and also allowed people to get very granular and talk about small contributions that would probably fall through the cracks in another tool because you're not going to maybe say "Oh I did this small little thing" in text or something. I thought it was cool to get some social interaction in there and get to know people at the same time. That's also efficient because you're kind of doing that in parallel and I don't think it interfered with the ranking. I thought the ranking made sense, the whole flow worked well, and yeah, psyched to see what you're building.

Feedback by Dilara was shared during the event at 1:00:39. Dilara found the respect game a relaxed way to connect and plans to share the experience with her community.

Awesome initiative! Great way to get more participation onchain.
