One of the most delightful things I’ve read in a minute

the Ethereum commons: a valuable and yet un-ownable whole

this dynamic is weakened when entities own pieces/processes, so as to extract their value

our role is to ensure the network + its stewardship remain unowned & uncaptured

This is the Future of Coordination we’ve all been waiting for. 

This is the Quadratic Lands.

This is Ether’s Phoenix rising.

Plutocracies are not "decentralization" 
Scamming is not "freedom"
The 1% shilling their degen bags and extracting wealth from 99% is not "meritocracy"

No more excuses for rampant negative outcomes in crypto, there must be positive action to design better systems and instill more optimistic social & cultural values

speaking the god damn truth let’s goo

these better systems aren’t gonna design themselves!!

O P T I M I S M 🔴✨

an important thing to consider when picking a stack that many don’t realize until much later:

the governance system of the stack of choice and the resiliency of that governance system against capture

truth. resist the capture. govern together.

🔴 The Optimism ecosystem continues to grow: @worldcoin announces World Chain will be built on the Superchain! 

Another L2 choosing the OP Stack:
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 10M+ users joining the Superchain
📈 Revenue contribution to the OP Collective
✨ Collaborative ecosystem development

Very Optimistic.

A plurality of mechanisms for future proofing humanity is very good, very cool. Much needed. 

Exciting announcement - worldcoin is an important experiment!

Bring people together. 
Inspire them to believe in something.
Believe in each other. 
Work together. Work hard. 
Create something that’s bigger than any one of us.

🔴That’s the Superchain. Based as hell.

incredibly exciting - already massive and just getting started

We're bringing native interoperability to the Superchain this year. This means low-latency, fungible, and portable assets across chains. 

Two pieces to enabling this are the message passing protocol and the token standard. 

We're looking for feedback on the token standard, let us know what you think. Link below!

need pika farcasterfluencer frens to boost pika.. dont stay much on here since no one seez poasts on channels 😔✌️

Ethereum has blobs. Where do we go from here?

“Today, we have all the tools we'll need, and indeed most of the tools we'll ever have, to build applications that are simultaneously cypherpunk and user-friendly. And so we should go out and do it.”

WE ARE SO BACKKKKK

🔴✨ Trusted by developers, rebels, and Fortune 500's. Scaling Ethereum & its values.

Knowing where to start building can be overwhelming.

We've got you covered! Check out Builder Ideas for curated project ideas aligned with the Collective's mission.

Curious about the Optimism Collective but no clue what to do??

Starting cooking w ideas from the builders list: contribute.optimism.io

Today we're introducing a new era of clarity for Retro Funding!

The Collective has allocated a total of 850M OP to incentivize impactful work across the Optimism Collective and the Superchain.

Learn more here: https://optimism.mirror.xyz/nz5II2tucf3k8tJ76O6HWwvidLB6TLQXszmMnlnhxWU

Retro Funding is the most legitimate experiment I know in creating a new economic system.

850m OP going towards creating a new paradigm - where positive impact = rewards! 

Don’t sleep on the Superchain… a better world, and better internet, is possible 🔴

I go back and forth on this…

but if there is one thing that will ruin crypto’s ability to create a more equitable internet, it’s speculation.

Base

price up: build
price down: build

a few weeks of price action mean next to nothing in a decades long shift to a more equitable internet

let’s have ourselves a day fam

price action is the biggest distraction - zoom out and build something impactful

@mxw & I are cooking to onboard more creatives onto optimism governance :) 

please let us know below if this is of interest, may have things to share soon!

The Collective needs you!!
