Hey @LauNaMu! I have closely observed the work you did on the Impact Evaluation Framework and Metrics Garden, and I’ve used it to make decisions. I would love to update it for the next rounds of RetroPGF, and I wish to see more builders working on it. Therefore, I am interested in sponsoring your mission request.
Hey @0xjoe! I would like to see ‘We Love the Art’ continue, evolve, and involve many teams around the world. I am open to sponsoring it, but we will need to make some modifications to allow for broader participation.

Specification
How will this Delegate Mission Request help accomplish the above Intent?
1. ERC4337 service
BlockPI Network is a decentralized multi-chain infrastructure provider, offering one-stop RPC services for web3 users. With the development of AA moving forward and started to making an impact in the whole Web3 industry, as a pioneer in the AA industry, we are committed to pushing AA service (ERC-4337 Bundler service and AA Explorer, supported and granted by Ethereum Foundation) forward to provide a better user experience for all Web3 users.
Specifically, we aim to establish ERC4337 Bundler and Explorer services to support AA user activities on OP. Users are able to send ERC-4337 RPC requests and interact with UserOps to BlockPI Network with the same RPC endpoint. BlockPI will route these requests to ERC-4337 Bundlers. We have cooperated with Candide, Stackup, Etherspot and Pimlico and integrated their open-source Bundler clients in the BlockPI RPC service network. All those Bundler clients are currently run by the BlockPI team to ensure the best quality of service. Users are allowed to choose which bundler client to process their request. Also, there is also an Auto function, which will let our load balancer select a suitable client server for the user based on the performance and health status of all the client servers. Check Bundler Service - BlockPI Network for more Bundler service info.
AA Explorer (https://aaexplorer.com/) is an Account Abstraction browser focusing on MEV Analysis and data visualization for the convenience of AA users and developers. Ethereum mainnet is currently onboarded. Once OP is supported. Users and developers are able to access the explorer and see all the OP ERC4337 data for free.
2. Startup Program Special funds
The current program aims to give back to the community and help early stage projects grow, BlockPI launches this Web3 Startup Program and partners with other renowned projects in the industry to offer a comprehensive support, such as marketing support, funding support, tech support and special service credits (up to $1000 credits) for Web3 startups. For more basic info, check BlockPI Startup | Empowering Web3 Startups

Each project can apply for a maximum of $1000 additional credits to cover the costs of BlockPI’s paid services.

Hey Rosmari,
As many people have already mentioned, there is already a ton of content (good and bad) about Optimism, and in various language. I believe the problem is not the content, but its distribution.
Thus, I think @Gonna.eth’s proposal for marketing support is excellent in this context.

How should the Token House measure progress towards this Mission?
Milestones can be tracked through the upgrades made to the wallet.
Phase 1 - Optimism DAO voting and proposals (beta) and forum updates as the wallet is updated for browser, i0S, and Android.
Phase 2 - Launching of a token and staking functionality in the wallet. Launching of token voting mechanisms using Roman Imperium rules in the wallet.
Phase 3 - TGE (Token Generation Event) for the token and airdrop performed via the DAO tooling and upgrades to the wallet.
How will this Delegate Mission Request help accomplish the above Intent?
Keeping this a bit briefer than something like a mission application.
Mainly to improve Governance Accessibility and the bonus of Consumer Experience.
Having a mobile wallet, and browser extension for both Android and iOS to read, write, and vote proposals in the Optimistic Governance platform. Perform real token launch and traditional, and novel (Imperium) DAO mechanics in the wallet.
Add native in-wallet functionality for Optimism DAO voting and proposals. This enhancement will enable Optimism users to receive notifications about new proposals and vote directly within the wallet’s UI, streamlining the voting process. Additionally, launch paid marketing campaigns to promote this new feature and the wallet overall, aiming to attract more users to Optimism and increase engagement with its governance and dApps.
These steps are designed to not only enhance the wallet’s functionality but also to significantly contribute to the growth and engagement of the Optimism community.
Following the integration of Optimism in-wallet proposals and voting, focus will shift towards the development of DAO tooling on the Optimism network, alongside the launch and promotion of a token and its staking and voting mechanisms.
This strategic roadmap is designed to not only enhance the functionality of the Wallet but also to strengthen the community’s engagement and governance through the DAO and token on the Optimism network.
Months 6-12 (50%)
In the final phase, emphasis will shift towards the Token Generation Event (TGE), attracting new users to the Optimism ecosystem, executing a 20% airdrop, and continuing marketing and support for the DAO and Optimism network integration. This phase is critical for cementing the Wallet’s position within the ecosystem and driving broader adoption.
This phase aims to solidify the integration of a Wallet with the Optimism network, enhancing the ecosystem’s vibrancy and user engagement through strategic growth initiatives and community-focused efforts.

Has anyone other than the Proposing Delegate contributed to this Mission Request? If so, who, and what parts of this application did they contribute to?
No
I understand that certain deadlines had passed, although mission request sponsorship just recently opened. The new system was a little difficult to navigate for us. Any comments, ideas, or suggestions would be much appreciated. The wallet was completely bootstrapped and we are very serious about our engagement with Optimism as I was writing about the houses a couple years ago for example. We had been working on this proposal for a while for Season 4, but then I had to rejig for the new system of top100 delegates. All help appreciated.
Love,
Bob
GM @Bob! The deadline for submitting Mission Request drafts passed 19 days ago. After a brief review of your Mission, I believe it might be more suitable for a Grant application. You can find more information about Grants here: CharmVerse - the all-in-one web3 space
I know sometimes it’s difficult to navigate so If you want to apply to a Grant, I recommend you to attend the next Grants Council Office Hours that you can find in the Governance Calendar and If you have any question, you can reach the Grants Council on the Discord Server in the channel grants
Thanks @brichis We’ll be there tomorrow at Office Hours. The CharmVerse link was very helpful in getting all the materials put together.
