GM Optimism Collective! 
Optimism Fractal celebrates two years of fostering collaboration, awarding public goods creators, and optimizing governance on the Superchain. We invite all Collective members to join us today at 17:00 UTC as we mark this milestone and discuss our continued contributions to Superchain governance.
Growing on Optimism
Two years ago, Optimism Fractal launched with a vision: to bring proven democratic coordination mechanisms to the Superchain and help the Optimism ecosystem develop innovative governance, community growth, and capital allocation solutions. What started as an experiment has evolved into a consistent practice, with over 100 unique participants joining our events and contributing to the ecosystem’s growth. Week after week, regardless of market conditions, our community has demonstrated that sustainable, democratic governance is possible onchain.
Superchain Impact
Through our weekly Respect Games and related community discussions at Optimism Town Hall, the Optimism Fractal community has participated in creating over 100 educational videos that serve as resources for the broader ecosystem. We’ve successfully implemented and operated ORDAO for nearly a year, while the Optimism Fractal Council has functioned as our legislative branch for over 20 months. These aren’t just experiments - they’re working governance systems that demonstrate practical approaches to the challenges the Collective faces.
Our impact extends beyond our immediate community. Organizations and projects throughout the Superchain have adopted elements of our governance model, and communities worldwide are implementing fractal governance inspired by our work. As the Superchain approaches full interoperability and major networks like Base, World, and Unichain continue supporting breakout applications, the need for effective coordination mechanisms becomes even more critical.
Today’s Celebration
Today’s event begins with our regular Respect Game at 17:00 UTC, where participants earn Respect by presenting their contributions to the ecosystem. This process, refined over two years, creates accountability, recognition, and alignment without centralized control.
Following the game, we’ll host an anniversary discussion at Optimism Town Hall, where we’ll reflect on our journey, share insights from two years of governance experimentation, and discuss how we can better serve the Collective’s needs in Season 8 and beyond. Feel free to explore our Optimism Town Hall discussion where we initially planned this anniversary celebration.
You’re welcome to use Optimism Fractal thumbnails as Zoom backgrounds (find them at OptimismFractal.com/videos) or dress festively if you’d like. We expect good conversation about both our achievements and the challenges ahead as we enters our next phase of growth.
Looking Forward
As we enter our third year and the Optimism ecosystem continues evolving, we’re focused on deeper integration with the Collective and more direct contributions to Superchain governance challenges. Ethereum just turned ten years old, and as we head into 2026, the world is increasingly coming onchain. The Superchain has the opportunity to shape this transition, and effective governance will be crucial to that success.
We invite you to join us for today’s to learn more about our work, share your perspectives on governance challenges, and explore how Optimism Fractal can better serve the Collective’s goals. Whether you’re deeply involved in governance or simply curious about alternative coordination mechanisms, your participation enriches the discussion. As always, you can RSVP for both the Optimism Fractal Respect Game and Optimism Town Hall on the Optimystics events calendar.
