Optimism Town Hall is presented by Optimystics and powered by Optimism Fractal, a community dedicated to fostering collaboration and awarding public good creators on Optimism. Optimism Fractal hosts weekly events one hour before Optimism Town Hall where anyone can earn an onchain reputation token called Respect by playing the Respect Game, a fun consensus process that helps foster collaborations, evaluate positive impact, and coordinate decentralized governance.

One of the unique features of Optimism Town Hall is how discussions are organized in a democratic and interactive manner with Cagendas, a social coordination game for collaborative agenda setting that empowers Optimism Collective community members to propose, deliberate, and prioritize discussion topics with an onchain reputation token called Respect. Anyone can earn Respect by playing the Respect Game at Optimism Fractal weekly events, which occur one hour before Optimism Town Hall events (on Thursdays at 17 UTC).

Hey everyone! Thanks for the great event on Thursday, it was amazing seeing you all and a wonderful way to start season 3 of Optimism Fractal!

I’m pleased to announce that the proposal to implement Cagendas after the Respect Game at weekly events was approved by the Optimism Fractal council. This means that we’ll host the first Optimism Town Hall event this upcoming Thursday at 18 UTC following our weekly Respect Game (instead of the Optimism Fractal planning sessions) and a topic for the event will be chosen on Monday at 17 UTC according to the rules in the proposal. We’ll also repeat this process at weekly events going forward until some other change is proposed and approved with our community’s consensus process. I appreciate all the thoughtful feedback shared during the event and the votes in support of the proposal.

To kick off the first town hall, I just created a topic proposal called Exploring Optimism Town Hall and Cagendas. At this event, I’d like to share a brief presentation that provides a more in-depth overview of the potential benefits, next steps, and rationale of these new initiatives. The material for this topic can be found in the introductory post, which includes links to projects with more details about Optimism Town Hall, Cagendas, Optimism Fractal Season 3, and the value that these initiatives can provide for the Optimism Collective. We’ll have an open discussion after the presentation and I’d love to hear more feedback about this topic, so please feel free to share any thoughts here in the chat or at the upcoming town hall event.

As per the rules approved in the proposal, anyone who has earned Respect at Optimism Fractal can propose a different topic to discuss after this week’s Respect Game event by creating a poll in the Optimism Town Hall snapshot space. Anyone who has earned Respect at Optimism Fractal can vote on these polls with their Respect to help determine the discussion topic for each weekly event and whichever topic proposal received the most votes by Monday at 17 UTC will be the topic discussed during the upcoming Town Hall event. If you want to propose a topic, make sure to set your topic proposal poll to end on Monday at 17 UTC (or earlier) to be eligible as a formal topic proposal for the week’s event. Feel free to propose any topic that is related to Optimism Fractal or the Optimism Collective.

For anyone who missed last week’s event, I recommend watching the videos that Rosmari shared above to see all the great things that happened in our first episode of Optimism Fractal Season 3. We discussed this proposal to start playing Cagendas at Optimism Town Hall in the first 10 minutes and the last 15 minutes of the event, as you can see here. In addition there were also outstanding contributions in the Respect Game, awesome discussions with talented newcomers, and a very interesting conversation about collaborating to build the upcoming Optimism Fractal app.

You can respectfully vote for my topic proposal and/or make an alternative topic proposal for this week’s town hall until Monday at 17 UTC. I encourage everyone to register for our weekly Optimism Town Hall event and invite friends who are interested in Optimism. I’m looking forward to seeing all the topics that the community will propose this season and excited to see you all at our 26th event on Thursday! Thank you! 🙏🏽🌻🌞
