Optimism Town Hall: Concluding 2024 & Building Across the Superchain
As we approach our final Optimism Town Hall of 2024, I'm excited to share developments that will enhance our capacity for meaningful governance discussions and ecosystem-wide collaboration across the rapidly expanding Superchain.
Following our approved proposal, Wrapping up 2024: Looking Forward Together, which received the most votes by Monday's 17 UTC deadline, this Thursday's Town Hall will continue using OPTOPICS with our existing topics poll.

Strategic Evolution for 2025
After our winter break (December 20 - January 8), Optimism Town Hall will transition to a biweekly schedule starting January 9th, 2025. This change aligns with Optimism Season 7's focus on Superchain interoperability and two significant proposals for Optimism Fractal.
As you can see in this post, there is a new proposal to transition Optimism Fractal Respect Game events to a biweekly schedule and a second proposal that aims to evolve Optimism Fractal's intents to match this new cadence while supporting ecosystem growth across the Superchain. The alignment between Optimism Town Hall and Optimism Fractal's biweekly schedules will preserve our effective back-to-back event format—a structure that has successfully served both newcomers and experienced builders in the Optimism Collective since May.
These changes align with Optimism Season 7's Intent focusing on interoperability across the Superchain. The increased time between events will allow deeper engagement with builders and leaders across various Superchain networks—from OP Mainnet to Base, Zora, Unichain, Ink, World, Celo, and beyond. While Optimism Town Hall and Optimism Fractal events move to a biweekly schedule, our community will maintain weekly connections through Eden Fractal events, available on the Optimystics Events Calendar. Eden Fractal events will advance governance, coordination, and public goods, including a new implementation of ORDAO on Base that pioneers interoperability across the Superchain.
For comprehensive context including recordings of our recent strategic discussions about these changes and Optimism Season 7, explore our "Optimism Fractal and Town Hall 2025 Planning: Strategic Evolution" article. The latest update includes last week's thoughtful conversation about maximizing our collective impact in 2025.
