10:41 Dan shares article that provides excellent starting point guide to season 7, giving over view of season 6.
12:41 Abraham comments the first thing that came to his mind is Hats Protocol integration, does some sort of migration need to be done so they are recognized in another chain
13:09 Dan responds he believes the functionality is not there yet but is coming soon. Shares article on Optimism core intent article. Believes this is being done but will do additional research to check.
15:27 Abraham and Dan gave conversation on interoperability between super chains.
16:35 Dan shares article that Rosmari found on superchain and native interoperability, showing the collective is trying to make everything much more unifiable.
16:50 conversation continues on interoperability, chain link.
19:03 Dan mentions Ethereum foundation, Justin Drake one of the core researchers is proposing beam chain, base roll ups. Interesting to see how it all comes together. Very promising.
19:57 Abraham and Dan gives additional info on Chain link and interoperability.
21:36 Dan shares superchain article focusing on core intent.
22:17 Abraham comments that the public goods alignment last season was more aligned with Optimism fractal.
23:00 Dan and Abraham have conversation about Optimism collective and Optimism fractal being more aligned in season 6, whereas in season 7 focusing on core intent and interoperability stage. On base high level Optimism fractal isn’t as aligned as it was in Season 6. But Dan feels Optimism fractal will grow , gives details.
28:00 Dan speaks about ORDAO is close to being used at a larger scale, and goes into benefits of biweekly cadence to allow going in other blockchains. This is one way Optimism fractal can support core intent of Optimism.
30:27 Abraham comments on situation to incentivize delegates to attend, possibly get a list of upcoming delegates. Mentions optimism developers to target.
33:00 Dan responds to Abraham, delegates, badgeholders and council members would be good to reach out to. Using Respect game to make connection would be key. Retro pitches helped with that, going to biweekly will allow more time to reach out
36:17 Abraham mentions the tool he’s thinking of is called Gov score, platform for representing quality unrecognized delegates, OP delegates.com,
37:40 Dan responds that now that Optimism fractal has ORDAO, Optimism fractal can become a delegate. Dan gives details on anti-capture commission ORDAO is a better tool for what they are doing to distribute tokens. At some point we will make a proposal or announcement to introduce software to them.
41:10 Abraham thinks that’s an interesting idea, delegates could actually delegate to Optimism fractal, that would be an awesome delegate power
42:35 Rosmari comments it would be good to discuss a strategy for reaching out to delegates.
44:26 Dan responds we need to strategize, main reason we’re going to bi-weekly so we have more time to strategize and make a bigger impact.

Episode Summary
In this exciting episode, we examined the strategic evolution of Optimism Fractal and Town Hall in light of Optimism's Season 7 focus on Superchain interoperability (as per this article about Season 7). The discussion centered on adapting our community coordination mechanisms to support the ecosystem's core intent of achieving $250 million in monthly cross-chain asset transfers, while maintaining our commitment to democratic governance innovation.
A key development emerged around the proposed transition to bi-weekly events for both Optimism Fractal and Town Hall, alternating with Eden Fractal events on Base. This strategic shift aims to optimize resource allocation, enabling deeper ecosystem engagement and more focused relationship building with delegates, badge holders, and council members. The conversation explored how our governance tools, particularly ORDAO and the Respect Game, can support cross-chain collaboration while providing essential infrastructure for democratic coordination.
The discussion delved into technical considerations of cross-chain infrastructure, including the implementation of Hats Protocol across networks and the development of native interoperability standards. Participants examined how Optimism Fractal's governance mechanisms, while perhaps less directly aligned with Season 7's monetary focus than previous seasons, continue to provide crucial support for ecosystem growth through builder engagement, governance education, and community coordination. The episode concluded with strategic planning for enhanced delegate outreach and ecosystem engagement in 2025, emphasizing the importance of scaling our impact while maintaining the quality of our democratic processes.
