Introduction
After years of dedicated development and recent momentum across the ecosystem - from thriving communities and multiple full-stack applications to expanding educational resources - we're at a pivotal moment to scale fractal decision-making processes throughout society.
The core infrastructure necessary for widespread adoption is rapidly maturing, combining robust EVM tools, user-friendly applications, and comprehensive educational materials. Most importantly, we've cultivated an engaged community of builders and participants who consistently provide valuable feedback and demonstrate enthusiasm for implementing these processes in diverse contexts.
This strategic framework outlines proposed approaches for:
- Core intents focused on scaling the Respect Game and Respect token implementation
- Game prompts that align with our mission while remaining accessible to newcomers
- Technical implementation plans, particularly for expanding to Base and the broader Ethereum ecosystem
- Measurement frameworks with specific 90-day, 6-month, and 1-year targets
- Comprehensive strategic goals across participation, development, and ecosystem growth
The proposals here aim to help us execute our mission of implementing fractal decision-making processes throughout society. However, they should be viewed as starting points for discussion rather than final decisions. We'll refine these based on community feedback over our next events before the winter break, aiming to begin implementation in early 2025.
