Overview
Eden Fractal tools empower communities with fun consensus games, collaborative tools for independence, and other cooperative innovations. Eden Fractal creates tools that make it fun and easy for anyone to empower their community.
Our tools provide a comprehensive cooperating system that can help all communities thrive with greater enjoyment, independence, and collaboration. We offer tools for fun social games that anyone can learn to play in minutes, independent community computing infrastructure, and a wide variety of complementary resources to help communities in all aspects of cooperation.
Fractal Apps
We offer two complementary apps: Fractalgram and Fractal.
- Fractalgram enables anyone to easily play consensus games by voting in Telegram polls.
- Fractal provides a simple web3 interface to securely post results on community computers, such as EOS and Ethereum.
These apps are tightly integrated, so players can enjoy playing consensus games during community meetings and then post their scores on a blockchain in just two clicks.
Consensus Games
Our apps enable anyone to play two innovative consensus games called Eden+Fractal and Cagendas.
In Eden+Fractal, community members split up into breakout rooms to share their work, elect decision makers, and give each other respect. In Cagendas, community members choose discussion topics, review proposals, and create community agendas.

Video Games
Eden+fractal and Cagendas can be played irl or digitally
Digital provides perfect synergy for collaboration video creation, or video games. More details here.
The following sections of this article provide details about each of these tools and many complementary resources to help communities cooperate for mutual benefit!
Community Meetings
All communities must occasionally meet to achieve shared goals and benefit from collaboration. Eden Fractal tools provide structure to facilitate recurring meetings, inspire creation collaboration, and create mutual benefit. Consensus games bring people together for fun and productive meetings.
Eden Fractal Games provide a cooperating system
Communities who meet each week to play these games can enjoy profound benefits that are not possible with any other tools.
Eden Fractal apps are inspired by a revolutionary consensus game created by ƒractally, where participants rank each other’s contributions from one to six in breakout rooms during weekly meetings. You can learn about this innovative consensus game by watching the ƒractally introductory video or reading page 19 of their whitepaper.
We recommend that communities meet on a weekly cadence, but they may also choose to meet monthly, quarterly, or at other intervals. Some of the details in the following sections are optimized for two hour meetings where communities play Eden+Fractal and Cagendas for an hour each week, but the time of each meeting can also be adjusted to fit the preference of each community.
While each meeting may only last a couple hours a week, it provides essential connectivity and incentives that can inspire community members to invest far more energy to help their fellow community members achieve shared goals. You can learn more about community meetings in page 19 of the ƒractally whitepaper.
Most Eden Fractal tools are optimized for weekly meetings and we recommend this cadence for most communities

Web3 Foundations
It’s important for communities to grow on stable foundations that enable independent collaboration, data accessibility, and incentive alignment. Web3 infrastructure provides essential tools that empower community members to help each other thrive by doing what they love!
Eden Fractal apps are designed with the benefits of Web3 at their foundation. One of our core tools is a set smart contracts that enable players to enter results of consensus games onto a blockchain and communities to instantly distribute respect tokens to players based on their scores.

Fractally
You can learn about the smart contracts that enable this consensus game on Antelope blockchains reading documentation about many functionalities in the original code repository. You can also learn more about how this works by viewing the Eden.Fractal EOS Account and EDEN token account.
Web2 Usability
The combination of Fractlgram and the Fractal app unleash the immense benefits of Web3 with an intuitive Web2 experience that anyone can enjoy.
The smart contracts connect with an intuitive user interface to create a smooth experience where players can use our apps to easily rank contributions during live community events. You can explore the Fractal app here and the code repository here. The process of entering scores is fun, simple, and seamless for players of all ages with Fractalgram. Fractalgram provides an intuitive interface with Telegram polls that makes it easy for non-technical people to play Web3 consensus games. You can learn more by about Fractalgram in this article.
The Eden Fractal software can be deployed on any Antelope account and communities can configure can flexibly configure MSIG permissions as they wish. Account permissions can be configured manually or automatically based upon rankings or delegation. Respect tokens or points can be distributed immediately to all players in proportion to their rankings in consensus games with a simple action. A permission can be created to enable an admin(s) to trigger the action for automatic distribution and simple instructions are provided for admins. Tokens are distributed in a fibonacci ratio by default, which you can learn more about in page 22-25 of the ƒractally whitepaper. Multiple tokens can be distributed instantaneously in a configurable amount or proportion.
In addition to the ƒractally game, Eden Fractal also provides tooling for Eden+Fractal and Cagendas games. Eden+Fractal is a variation of ƒractally games where community members also elect delegates in each breakout room, then delegates form councils that help make community decisions. The Fractalgram and consensus posting interfaces both include an easy way to elect delegates and more comprehensive functionality is in development. You can learn more about Eden+Fractal in this article.
Cagendas is a new kind of consensus game that helps communities prioritize discussion topics, review proposals, and create community agendas. It pairs perfectly with Eden+Fractal to create a super fun game combo that enables communities to cooperate with unprecedented decentralization, autonomy, and democratic coordination. You can learn how we play Cagendas with Consortium in the resources below.
There are many other innovative tools and resources shown below that are not included in this overview. As stated above, this is an early work in progress… and we recommend reading on to learn more ;)

Consider creating landing pages for tools, games, and shows
Eventually these could be at EdenTools.com , EdenGames.com, and EdenShows.com. For now I can just make them at Eden Creators.com
These can be in addition to garden articles with more details
