SEED Latam Delegation: What’s Coming in Season 6
It’s been two years since we launched our first delegation in SEED Latam (formerly DeFi LATAM) on Optimism. In the beginning, our vision as both a community and individuals was to bring a community voice from this part of the world to help scale Ethereum.
Since that initial statement, we have evolved as an organization alongside the Optimism Collective and actively contributed to the growth of the collective in our region. Throughout 2022, 2023, and 2024, we’ve organized over 18 open governance meetings in Spanish with more than 161 participants, where we shared updates and discussed all governance proposals. Our main goal was to engage the community in governance while promoting the Optimistic Vision.
SEED Latam and our delegations have always promoted collective participation. In addition to the public meetings we’ve organized, many collaborators have contributed to this delegation and the Optimism Collective.
With everything mentioned above, we reaffirm our commitment to the Optimistic Vision and the Collective. We will continue to contribute as an organization to governance, but we believe some changes are necessary as we approach Season 6 and new directions on governance are ahead.
A slight change in our objectives
In this new transition, we want to focus on contributing to the path towards metagovernance, particularly in the new governance processes. We understand that this new direction is crucial for the decentralization of the protocol and the future of governance, and we want to contribute to achieving this mission.
SEEDGov Delegation, a step on our working methodology
The SEEDLatam delegation in Optimism has always worked with contributors, meaning that our contributions to the collective are collaborative. This is why we want to deepen this methodology that we’ve been implementing by taking the next step. Starting from Season 6, we will formalize our operations as a platform (similar to Synthetix, L2beat, GFXLabs, etc.), led by @joxes in collaboration with @SEEDGov,@axlvaz, @habacuc.eth, @delphine, and @Pumbi. This methodology aims to maintain the delegation’s activity and contributions in each new vertical the collective explores.
It is worth mentioning that this new approach that is being implemented by the delegation accompanies a broader reorganization of the SEEDOrg collective. SEEDGov is the first delegation platform in Latam founded on community values. It will continue to operate as a vertical focused on decentralized governance in the web3 space, emphasizing active participation, community engagement, decision-making, and experimentation, creating capable teams focused on the emerging needs of DAOs and protocols.
Future ahead
With these changes, we aim to deepen our participation and commitment to the Optimism Collective. We strive to serve as perpetual contributors, providing value in the best possible way, and positively impacting the decision-making process within the governance structure. Let’s work together to achieve the Superchain future we all envision.
