Eden+Fractal

Eden+Fractal is an innovative consensus game that combines the benefits of Eden Elections and ƒractally to help communities cooperate for mutual benefit.

With this elegant process, community members both respect contributions to the community and elect delegates during the same breakout room. Delegates form councils that update each week, then recent councils cooperate to represent the will of the community, express shared opinions, and make community decisions.

This process was proposed by Tadas on October 2nd, 2022 and informally approved with supermajority consensus by the Eden ƒractal community in Meeting 18. The Eden ƒractal community cooperated with the Eden+Fractal process and elected delegates for the first time during Meeting 19. The community reached consensus to approve the first proposal with this process during Meeting 22.

You can read the Eden+Fractal proposal and curated resources below to learn much more about the Eden+Fractal process. You can also watch many videos and interviews with exciting discussions about Eden+Fractal below, including the debut episode of Creator Talk.

Tadas wrote the following article to introduce Eden+Fractal:

As you can see above, the proposal is concisely summarized in 7 points.

In addition to the brief proposal, Tadas and several Eden ƒractal community members shared many helpful thoughts about the process in the Eden Discord and video meetings. For your convenience, these messages are curated below.

Tadas first shared the proposal in the Eden Discord, along with the following messages and graphic.

Here is a zoomed in version of the graphic, which summarizes the whole mechanism in a single picture:

Tadas and Patrick then shared the following messages:

After this brief exchange with Patrick, Tadas shared an insightful post with an overview of Eden + Fractal benefits:

You can read many more interesting thoughts from community members about Eden + Fractal in the Eden Discord. You can see curated screenshots from this discussion here.

Tadas is also the creator of Albedo, an innovative system that empowers blockchain communities with fractal cooperation and synergizes well with Eden+Fractal.

The Eden+Fractal process is composed of innovative processes of Eden Elections and ƒractally, which were both created by Daniel Larimer and freedom engineers on the ƒractally team.

All of these innovative consensus mechanisms are rooted in the principles of More Equal Animals to create a better world for all. The Eden+Fractal process is also a product of communication between many amazing community members in Eden ƒractal, Genesis ƒractal, and Eden on EOS.

Dan Singjoy launched a new podcast called Creator Talk and the first episode was an interview with Tadas about Eden+Fractal. You can get the full experience and learn much more about Eden+Fractal at CreatorTalk.Show. The full experience includes a note from Dan, info about Tadas, Eden+Fractal, timestamps, media, tweets and related article. You can watch the full episode and a preview below.
