WTF is MetaGame & why Optimism should give us a grant
Please explain how this Mission will help accomplish the above Intent:
- We have a newsletter & a podcast that goes out to >12,000 people interested in learning about Web3, DAOs & the bigger picture
- The conference we’re organizing is likewise focused on “coordination, regeneration & the bigger picture”, its a gathering trying to bridge related web3 communities with their non-web3 counterparts as well as bring at least 10% of complete newcomers to learn about DAOs & ReFi
- The latter will also feed into the former, all the content will get recycled into posts & the full “DAO Design Track” will be turned into an online course
- The full DAO Design online course will feature Optimism as the main or only sponsor & encourage people to launch DAOs on DAOhaus on Optimism
- Optimism & the Optimistic Vision will get featured in all of this content, consumed by >3000 people, twice a week for 3 months
- Optimism will get everything that comes with the top tier sponsorship package for MetaFest (Logo on the website, all promo materials, media & aftermovie, logo in swag bags & at the venue, logo on the livestreams, workshop slot, private chamber & a table in the dungeon (coworking) for your org, promo booth for your project (only one), 16 ticket NFTs (worth $2400) and epic swag bags.
- Also everything that comes with the top tier guild membership in MetaGame (your news regularly in our newsletter, your news on our dashboard, a twitter thread, podcast interview etc. etc.)
- There will be a playbook about building on Optimism, written & distributed through our channels
- We would also create a page for Optimism inside MetaGame to permanently stay visible for discovery by newcomers
What makes your Alliance well-suited to execute this Mission?
- We’ve been doing this for 3 years so we have a proven track record of shipping content, organizing events & onboarding newcomers into the ecosystem
- Everything we do at MetaGame is geared towards onboarding new people into the ecosystem, helping people start DAOs & teach them about the bigger picture
- Philosophical alignment: like Optimism, we are very much focused on DAOs & Regenerative projects. We’re building a public good & our long term goal is to build a decentralized society
