A city protocol is best understood as a living organism, where survival depends on differentiated organs sharing one metabolism.
Optimism serves as the skeleton, setting load-bearing constraints through the OP Stack. Its rigidity defines posture and proportion, so new growth attaches without collapsing the frame.
Base functions as the circulatory system, moving liquidity and users through established pathways. By sustaining throughput across distance, it keeps peripheral limbs as viable as the core. @cityonbase
Farcaster operates as the nervous tissue, transmitting signals that coordinate behavior among dispersed parts. Stable identity becomes the axon, allowing reflexes and deliberation to share the same body.
Zora behaves like connective tissue, binding creative output into durable form. What is expressed becomes embedded, giving memory and texture to otherwise transient motion.
