Our next event is happening today and we’d love to see you there. You can join our weekly events, watch videos to follow our progress, and explore OptimismFractal.com to learn more. Optimism Fractal is presented by Optimystics, which you can learn more about in the post below. Feel free to reach out with any questions or comments below or on the Optimism Fractal discord.

It will last for 30 minutes and start right after our regularly scheduled Respect Game from 17-18 UTC.

Hey all!

The Optimism Fractal Council approved a proposal to change the meeting time of weekly events to Thursdays at 17 UTC going forward. The main reason for this change was to eliminate a scheduling conflict with the Optimism Grants Council Office Hours, so now everyone can easily join both events. This proposal was approved with Optimism Fractal’s consensus process and we can use same process if we ever want to make other changes to the time in the future.

The next Optimism Fractal event will be on this Thursday, March 7th. I just updated the main event page and planning sessions event page to reflect the new time. I hope everyone had an awesome weekend and am looking forward to seeing you on Thursday! :smiley: :sunflower:

At last week’s event we discussed funding opportunities around Optimism Fractal and the recently announced rounds of Retro Funding.

We believe that contributions to Optimism Fractal could qualify for Retro Funding in the Onchain Builders, Governance, and Dev Tooling rounds (as referred to in this Optimism’s article). In addition, Optimism Fractal can also play a very helpful role in promoting, evaluating, connecting, and otherwise providing value for public goods creators and citizens assessing impact in the Optimism Collective.
