Town Hall & Optimism Fractal’s Seasonal Rhythms
Dear Optimism Town Hall community,
As we approach our season finale, we’re excited to share some exciting plans and ideas that will help us maximize our impact on the Superchain in the next season.
During our latest Optimism Town Hall episode, we discussed Optimism Fractal Season 6 planning, participant agreements, and governance evolution - key decisions for community structure, seasonal rhythms, and break durations.
We encourage you to watch this video to get a better understanding of where we’re at and where we’re planning to go in the next season. These collaborative discussions set up our seasonal structure for success and positions the community for growth.
Explore highlights and RSVP for the final events of this season below 
Draft Proposals
Proposal 1: Seasonal Structure
Based on our discussions, our planning includes maintaining six-month seasons (12 events per season), one-event break mid-season, two-event break between seasons, and simple community agreements.
The last event of Optimism Fractal Season 5 will be on April 3rd, with Season 6 planned to begin May 15th after our break. This schedule allows us to avoid returning on Thanksgiving in Season 7, aligns with our two-year anniversary in October, provides development time between seasons, and creates natural seasonal rhythms for our community.
Optimism Town Hall seasons are planned to operate on the same schedule 
Proposal 2: Community Agreements
We’re also planning to propose a simple community agreement starting in Season 6. This will start simple with consent for recording and sharing event videos, clarifying that participation doesn’t entitle funding, and providing basic community protections.
This foundation supports better promotion while protecting the community as we grow 
Next Steps
As councilors, Dan and I will be drafting proposals about these initiatives before the last event of the season. This would include:
- Proposal to start Optimism Fractal Season 6 on May 15th after a two-event break
- Proposal to implement a streamlined agreement for sharing videos and protecting the community from liability starting in Season 6
We invite you to watch the video and share your thoughts over the upcoming week as we draft these proposals. You’re welcome to do that by commenting here, on the video, on Discord, Telegram, or join an upcoming event. While we’ll make the decisions as councilors, your feedback is incredibly valuable to this process! Dan will follow up with updates on these draft proposals early next week, so stay tuned…
