Week 3 Updates
1. We’re proud to announce that the algorithm for our Point system that identifies the contributors that brought the most value to their DAO based on forum activity is now on GitHub. We also included a database file as a Google Drive link of every forum post ever made on the Optimism forum along with every metric as well within the README file. This data can be used to create custom AI models, and to perform deep sentiment analysis to gain a greater understanding of the DAO and its members. The database includes 1,374 total topics and 20,720 total posts.
Also, we received feedback from another DAO on how they would like to utilize our point system. We met with the Community Manager of the Rari Foundation, the DAO behind Rarible, and they expressed interest in using our point system for their Delegate Incentive Program. They would like to include data from onchain voting via Tally as well, so we built a Tally scraper from scratch to present the data within their database file, and will begin working on a Snapshot scraper soon as well. The feedback we received was to simplify the method of sybil resistance for our point system. Instead of creating multiple rounds of engagement filters, and applying weight to each member that presents a social hierarchy, to instead, lock points by default, and points will unlock if the engagement received was from a role holder. This method ensures that all points received were from vetted accounts, such as “Delegates,” and “Regulars” on forum, and since the points received by each member will be equal, it boasts meritocracy by eliminating a potential social hierarchy, and the potentiality of creating posts that will pander to the most influential members of the DAO.
2. Our goal for this week was to push the algorithm to GitHub, and receive critical feedback in terms of ensuring our system was sybil resistant, and we achieved just that.
However, it would be nice to hear directly from the members within Optimism, still waiting to set up a few 15 minute meetings to get their opinion on our point system and to see if they feel that the results are accurate.
3. The OP community can help us by giving their opinion on whether they agree with the final results of the script, that revealed the top members within their DAO based on forum engagement. Here are the results below:
Topic Likes = 10 points
Regular Post Likes = 1 point
Aligned Topic Replies = 20 points
Aligned Regular Replies = 2 points

4. Our big rock for next week is to provide additional context about the members within Optimism based on their forum posts. We will reveal the top 5-10 keywords used by each member in the DAO, and reveal social clusters as well, this will give external projects a better idea about who to approach to form a particular partnership. For example, let’s say a project specializes in “Peer to Peer Cloud Computing” like Akash Network, and they would like to partner with Optimism. They will be able to view which members discusses topics that closely relates to their project, and the members that has the closest relationship to this particular person, so the project “Akash” in this example, could have a better understanding of who to contact in order to form a partnership.
We also spoke to the Founders of “Meet With Wallet” who can create a feature on our UI, allowing for users to book meetings natively within our app. We can create an algorithm that discover conversations that relates closely to a topic that a particular project specializes in, and create a “Suggested” post giving brief details of what the project offers that would like to collaborate, and display a button for booking a meeting, in order to help aligned projects, receive more inbound leads.
