Hey Martin!
It’s good to hear from you, hope all is well!
How are you doing?
Yes I’m involved with Optimism now, I started a new community called Optimism Fractal in October and host weekly events every Monday. You’re very welcome to join and I’d be happy to answer any questions if you’d like. Why do you ask?
Glad to hear!
Ok nice, I saw the news that Optimism is now supported by The Graph and am looking forward to the integration. I’m still thinking about using Substreams for consensus games at fractals and hope that all is going well for everyone at Pinax!
Hmm I think the top 5 selling points and dApps depends on personal preferences, but I can share my perspective :)
Top 5 Benefits of Optimism:
- RetroPGF: Optimism regularly holds rounds of RetroPGF, or Retroactive Public Goods Funding. The culture of Optimism is very focused on rewarding public goods and the Optimism Collective gives more funding to public goods than any other network that I know.
- Bicameral Governance System: The system with the token house and citizens house is very exciting. It reminds me of Eden and I see lots of opportunity for it to grow.
- Superchain: Optimism is EVM equivalent and is leading the Superchain, along with Base, Zora, Worldcoin, and many other market leaders.
- Grants Council: The governance system provides many interactive, community led opportunities for missions and other funding sources. It’s well organized and works well.
- Optimistic Vision: The vision is very compelling and there are many amazing people building on the network. Very good community, branding, and vibes!
Top 5 Apps on Optimism:
- Respect Game: The core consensus game at Optimism Fractal, a community dedicated to fostering collaboration and awarding public good creators on Optimism.
- Farcaster: A decentralized social network that is growing quickly and has many innovative features, such as Frames and channels
- Agora: A voting portal for missions, RetroPGF, and other collective decisions
- Gitcoin Grants: A platform for crowdfunding public goods
- Hats Protocol: A powerful coordination tool for decentralized collaboration
If you’re interested, there might be opportunities for Pinax to earn funding from RetroPGF and Optimism Missions as well. I’d be happy to provide more details if you’d like
