This year at Devconnect in Istanbul, Turkey, the Optimism Collective hosted their first full day of talks and networking, aptly titled Onchain Summit: Superchain Edition. To say it was successful would be an understatement: hundreds of folks from around the world and across the Optimism Ecosystem joined the event. In a dynamic series of talks, panels, and workshops, Optimists came together to learn about the current state of the Superchain ecosystem, and share their vision for its future.

Recently there’s been a wave of migration of creator-focused projects like Decent, Sound, Manifold, and more to the Superchain. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the We ❤️ The Art creator contest, which will allocate 1,000,000 OP to creators!

A key part of building towards the Technical Decentralization Intent is implementing a Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) for the OP Stack.

Earlier this year, the Optimism Collective announced the third round of Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RetroPGF). As of today, applications for RetroPGF Round 3 are open! Round 3 will allocate 30 million OP to builders, artists, creators, and educators who have demonstrated their impact in building the Optimism Collective.

This month marked a momentous first for Ethereum: a publicly listed US company launched its very own OP Chain powered by Optimism.

The OP Stack was built to be the most forkable, modular scaling infrastructure out there. When we introduced it, we explained that it was our bet on the ingenuity of the entire Ethereum community.

The Optimism Collective is governed by a two-house system. This post provides an overview of the goals, design principles, and problem spaces of Optimism Governance.

The Optimism Collective is excited to announce the third round of RetroPGF. This fall, 30 million OP will be distributed to builders, creators, and educators who have provided positive impact to the Optimism Collective. If you want to get started building, head to our Ecosystem Contributions board to find a project.

Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RetroPGF) is one of the leading economic experiments to help decentralize and grow crypto ecosystems. While still in its very early days, the Optimism Collective is excited to lead the charge on RetroPGF experimentation, and we aim to inspire more builders to contribute to the Optimism ecosystem with the hope – and expectation – of getting funded retroactively for their contributions.
