🚀 Introduction

Public goods don’t have to be boring. Culture and play are part of what makes Optimism strong. That’s why I created OP Runner — a lightweight, open-source runner game inspired by the Optimism ecosystem.

Now it’s live and anyone can play it directly in the browser.

✨ Why a game?

Games are one of the best ways to onboard people into culture. • They are fun and accessible. • They don’t require wallets, logins, or tokens. • They can carry values of public goods while reaching a wide audience.

OP Runner is my way to make Optimism culture tangible and joyful.

🌍 BuildForGood Ecosystem

OP Runner is part of my broader BuildForGood initiative: • Books & translations explaining the Optimism Way. • Games as cultural public goods (like OP Runner, OP Brick Builder). • NFTs and digital artifacts (OP Card, comics, memes). • Experiments like the Wall of Optimists.

The mission: from solo builder → to ecosystem builder for Optimism.
