Welcome to Season 5 of Optimism Fractal!
After an incredible first year bringing builders together through innovative onchain social games, we’re excited to begin our next chapter with powerful new tools and growing momentum.
Optimism Fractal is a community dedicated to fostering collaboration, awarding public good creators, and optimizing governance on the Superchain. Through our weekly Respect Game events, we create an engaging platform where builders can showcase their work, network with talented innovators, and earn Respect - a soulbound token that provides a foundation for both reputation building and truly democratic coordination.
Our events have brought together over 60 builders creating amazing things for Optimism, fostering countless collaborations while pioneering powerful new ways to recognize impact and make collective decisions. We invite you to join us in this growing community as we level up together!
Weekly Events
Join us every Thursday at 17:00 UTC to play the Respect Game where you can:
- Share what you’ve done to help Optimism
- Network with amazing builders across the Superchain
- Present your projects in supportive breakout rooms
- Earn Respect through peer evaluation and consensus
- Be part of our interactive gameshow-style events
Whether you’re building actively on Optimism or just getting started, our events provide valuable opportunities for networking, learning, and growing your impact. We welcome builders to join and invite friends who could benefit from our supportive community - it’s both a powerful platform for experienced builders and an engaging onboarding experience for newcomers!

Season 5 Highlights
This season brings several exciting developments:
- Thriving builder community where participants showcase independent work while collaborating weekly to evaluate contributions that help Optimism grow
- Implementation of ORDAO (built by @Tadas) - our onchain community account is now governed through an elegant optimistic quorum system, approved by our community council where Respect holders can participate in weekly decision-making
- Growing technical ecosystem with open-source applications Respect.Games and Fractalgram, pioneered by the brilliant Optimism Fractal community members to make the Respect Game accessible for any community
- Enhanced educational resources across our websites making it easier to learn about and engage with our coordination infrastructure
Related Events
Following each Respect Game, community members are welcome to join Optimism Town Hall at 18:00 UTC - an independent forum for governance discussions now in its third season. Follow their dedicated thread.
Additionally, Eden Fractal hosts biweekly events focused on developing these coordination tools and processes. Having pioneered these systems for over three years, they provide another great way to get involved. You can register for all events presented by Optimystics on the events calendar.
