SEED Latam ventured into governance on the Optimism forum, recognizing the challenges of engaging $OP holders and users. Over 16 months, we onboarded +150 Latin Americans into Optimistic Collective discussions, addressing language barriers and information asymmetry. We developed an internal meta-governance through an experimental process. Our contribution is our work in the forum and the documentation of this pilot project. The backbone consists of 15 community governance calls with 514 attendees who voted on 233 financial, organizational, and operational decisions. Beyond this, we promoted governance topics at online and IRL events, notably #GovernanceDay organized by SEED Latam (Buenos Aires, 2023), attracting 200 attendees with 3 talks on Public Goods and Optimism Governance.
