Hello Optimists and badgeholders 👋

For me, Optimism is not just a network. It’s a vision. A vision where public goods, collective building, and culture matter as much as infrastructure.

Over the last months, I’ve built a whole ecosystem of public goods — books, NFTs, comics, quests, DAO, a bot, even an anthem. All of them share one idea: to make Optimism not only a technical layer, but a cultural movement.

🔴 Why Optimism is my vision? Because it connects hope with impact, and gives solo builders like me a voice. Because it proves that Retro Funding works — rewarding what was already built for the collective good. Because it’s a place where identity itself can be a public good.

🌍 Why Optimism is the future? Because we are building not only for ourselves, but for the whole Superchain and for the next generations. Because Optimism shows the world that Ethereum’s values can live on-chain: transparency, fairness, community.

💡 My contribution is a proof that solo builders can create a lot: • Illustrated books in 10 languages • NFT collections and comics • DAO governance • Educational quests and a bot • Creative culture for Optimism

And I’m not stopping. I’ll keep building. Because Optimism is my vision — and it’s the future.

🧱 Support culture. Support identity. Support public goods.
