:writing_hand: Forum Highlights

  • OPTIMISM University Module in Costa Rica

    The first-ever Optimism University module is launching in Costa Rica at CENFOTEC University, a leader in technological education. This 7-week intensive program is designed to teach participants about Optimism, Blockchain, and Web3 technologies, offering both educational and economic incentives in the form of OP tokens. The curriculum includes topics like Ethereum, data availability, roll-ups, and smart contract creation. The program is set to begin on June 25, 2024, with classes twice a week in the evening, and will feature expert guest speakers, hands-on projects, and a mandatory attendance policy. Although the course can only accommodate 25 students, all materials will be publicly available for broader community benefit.

  • Ratification of Profit Definition for Round 4

    In the forum post titled “Ratification of Profit Definition for Round 4,” a user expresses disagreement with the proposal to equate impact with profit without any conditions, including those related to prior grants. The user, Katie Garcia, acknowledges the thoughtful discussions that led to the proposal but ultimately believes it disincentivizes projects within the Optimism ecosystem and states an intention to vote against it. The post highlights the deliberative nature of community governance while revealing underlying concerns about the implications of the proposed profit definition.

  • S6 Grants Council Communication Thread

    The “S6 Grants Council Communication Thread” provides a detailed overview of the structure, purpose, and roles of the Optimism Grants Council for Season 6. Established in Governance Season 3, the Council aims to review Delegate Mission Applications, ensure transparency, and reduce delegates’ workloads. It comprises four sub-committees: Superchain, Optimism, Audit and Special Mission, and Milestones & Metrics, each fulfilling specific mandates. Notable roles include Katie Garcia as the Communications Lead and Jun (Pgov) as the Milestone and Metrics Lead. The thread emphasizes maintaining a transparent governance process and efficiently managing grant applications to support the broader responsibilities of the Token House governance.
