Is your protocol OP Native?: No
We’re an Ethereum first community movement, aiming to onboard a diverse spectrum of users from around the globe into the wider ecosystem- providing the values that are enshrined by the Optimism Collective thrive. -
Was your protocol active in Optimism governance prior to 12/5/22?:
We’ve recently became much more active in Optimism governance by joining weekly delegates calls and trying to provide as much value as we can to the overall process. We’re excited by the experiments that are ongoing, and want to contribute to them more concretely. In the past, we haven’t been focused that much on governance, rather providing value to community via collaborating with OP Labs, launching OP City and educational Optimism onboarding quests inside of Atlantis World, including on tight hackathon style deadlines. Nevertheless, we understand the power of community first values and governance first hand, believe in them wholeheartedly, and wish to contribute more to the governance vertical within Optimism ecosystem more & more from this point on, and indeed before! Engaging and enacting the wishes of the community, as well as contributing to building a strong & trust-minimized system to enable that, is very important to us as one of the many moving parts within the Optimism Collective. -
Why do you want to participate in this program?: We love Optimism - be it values, tech, community, ecosystem, and the commitment to public goods. We’re committed to take active part in the future of Optimism.
-
Why do you believe your protocol would be a good steward of the Optimism ecosystem?: We live to make it count, to make social impact that lasts. It’s up to community to decide wether or not we’ve been or would be good stewards of Optimism.
Actions speak louder than words. In the past, we’ve launched public good initiatives such as:
-
Unchain Fund (raised $10m in donations, including $2.5m from Vitalik Buterin, helped 400k Ukrainians with humanitarian aid);

ChoiceDAO (coordinating community & capital in the fight for reproductive rights)

Kyiv Tech Summit (wartime humanitarian aid focused hackathon, attracted 550+ hackers, brought Vitalik for the first time ever to Ukraine, supported by The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine)

Pushing web3 adoption forward on world stage in leading state backed crypto education program with The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, we’d love to see Optimism participate there to educate and onboard millions of people inside of a mass adopted Government app with practical cases.

Atlantis World itself is community-first project that we’ve been building and scaling for almost 2 years while being bootstrapped with grants and revenue, without taking a single dollar from private investors despite multi-million dollar deals being put on the table. We’re exploring creative ways to diversify the network, planning to distribute ownership among our strong & committed community members in the near future with a model that will make sense for the long term.
