Overview

This task aims to create an organizational structure for Optimism Fractal using the Hats Protocol roles. The document outlines various roles within the community, their criteria, privileges, and responsibilities. By implementing this role-based system, Optimism Fractal can enhance community engagement, governance, and recognition of contributions.

Below are a few drafts of roles at Optimism Fractal that could be delegated according to Respect. It’s an early work in progress and is intended to start discussions for further refinement. Some of these ideas may be helpful for a referral system, seasonal structure, and personal respect. You can find more ideas about how roles could give access to specific tools, applications, and powers by exploring the project for integrating with Hats Protocol and this task about exploring integrations with a Respect Eligibility Module.

To Do

• include a role that allows people to host a certain amount of their own respect games to give optimism fractal respect (OPF) or optimism collective respect (OPC) to their friends each week

• include roles that give permissions to view, comment, and edit notion pages

This integration allows for a dynamic and flexible permission system that can evolve with the community's needs.

Technical Integration with Hats Protocol:

• Implement token-gated access to specific community functions, such as editing strategic Notion pages or hosting Respect games.
