Enter to Start successfully hosted the first ever “Community Meetup: Optimism Opportunity” in Thailand, bringing together the leading figures in the Optimism community. The event featured a dynamic lineup of grant recipients, contributors, Discord mods, and Thailand’s first Badgeholders, who are instrumental in shaping the future of the Optimism projects by voting on grant allocations.
The event started with a session by Rati (Au), a seasoned software engineer and contributor to Optimism, who shared insights on Superchain and Opstack, and also discussed various Optimism Grant programs. Following him, Hanee Sleeper, an OP Ambassador and Thailand’s inaugural Badge Holder recounted the evolution of the RetroPFG program, highlighting the challenges and developments of each iteration and hinting at a growing focus on development in the upcoming cycles.
A highlight of the meetup was the Builder Panel, which showcased top Thai developers who have received grants from Optimism. The panel included Tang, the highest recipient of RetroPFG 3 grants, alongside budding talents Billy and Wit, and the prolific hackathon participant Chomtana, who shared their inspirations and experiences in the tech ecosystem.
The final session of the day focused on the “RetroPGF4 Opportunity,” where seasoned contributors such as Patrick, a prominent Discord mod for OP, Grapp, a founding artist of Bored Town NFT, and England, a mod for over 15 projects, alongside Hanee, discussed the future opportunities within RetroPGF. They shared their personal motivations for engaging with the Optimism community and insights into successful grant applications.
The consensus from the event was clear: genuine engagement and contribution to the community are far more rewarding than participating solely for potential airdrops. This inaugural meetup not only highlighted the vibrant potential of the Optimism ecosystem but also strengthened the community’s commitment to collaborative growth and innovation.
