Resources related to the governance system of the Optimism Collective are currently dispersed across a range of locations such as the Community Hub, the Optimism Governance Forum, the Mirror blog, the old Medium blog, GitHub, Charmverse and Notion. This fragmentation negatively impacts the accessibility of Optimism governance and makes the system difficult to understand for all but a few high-context governance participants. To make it easier to navigate seamlessly across available resources, the Optimism Resource Center consolidates all resources from the various platforms into a single place. **👉 Due to the iterative nature of Optimism governance, many resources are regularly updated. To not miss any policy changes and additions, see the changelog [[Changelog|here]].** ## Getting Started Foundational knowledge about what the Collective is and the mutually beneficial pact that underlies it, a vision that can be summed up with the equation `impact=profit`. - [[What is the Optimism Collective?]] - [[The Optimistic Vision]] - [[Ether's Phoenix]] - [[What is the Optimism Foundation?]] - [[Guide to Season 5]] ## Grants Learn about the different types of Collective Grants, trust tiers, and grant polices. - [[Collective Grants Overview]] - [[Collective Trust Tiers]] - [[Collective Grant Policies]] - [[Grant Token Lock Explainer]] - [[Public Reporting Requirements for Grantees]] - [[Grant Misuse Reporting Process]] - [[Milestone Assessment]] - Grants Council - [[Grants Council - Internal Operating Procedures for Season 5]] - [[Grants Council Charter v0.1]] - [[Season 5 Grants Council Operating Budget]] - Missions - [[Missions v2 - Season 5]] - [[Delegate Guide - How to Create a Delegate Mission Request]] - [[Mission Applicant Guide - How to Submit a Mission Application]] - The Partner Fund - [[Partner Fund Overview]] ## OP Holders Learn everything you need to know as an OP Holder. - [[How to Delegate Your Tokens]] - [[OP Economics]] - [[OP Allocations]] - [[Airdrop 4]] - [[Airdrop 3]] - [[Airdrop 2]] - [[Airdrop 1]] ## Delegates Learn about becoming a delegate and the responsibilities that come with it. - [[How to be a delegate]] - [[Existing Delegates]] - [[Find and Track Your Delegate]] ## Proposal Submitters Learn about non-grant proposal types and see the relevant templates. - [[Submitting Proposals]] - Non-Grant Proposal Templates - [[Grants Council Operating Budget Template]] - [[Inflation Adjustment Proposal Template]] - [[Standard Proposal Template – Optimism Token House]] ## Token House Governance Learn about the Token House, one of the two houses of the Optimism Collective. - [[Governing Documents]] - [[OPerating Manual]] - [[Working Constitution]] - [[Framework for Protocol Upgrades]] - [[Seasons and voting cycles]] - [[Collective Intents - Season 5]] - [[Collective Council Framework]] - [[Chain Delegation Program]] - [[Developer Advisory Board]] - [[Council Election Info - Season 5]] - Governance Fund - [[Governance Fund Overview]] - [[Governance Fund Charter]] - Law of Chains - [[Law of Chains v0.1]] - [[Law of Chains v0.1 - Section-by-Section Overview]] - [[Law of Chains Disclaimer]] - Anticapture Commission - [[Anticapture Commission]] - [[Anticapture Commission Reports]] - Security Council - [[Intro to Optimism's Security Council]] - [[Security Council Charter v0.1]] - [[Security Council Vote 1 - Change to Security Model]] ## Citizens' House Governance Learn about the Citizens' House, one of the two houses of the Optimism Collective, whose primary responsibility is voting on the allocation of RetroPGF. - [[Overview]] - [[Citizenship]] ## RetroPGF Learn more about the RetroPGF rounds that have already taken place or are currently underway.
