Eden Fractal thrives through active community engagement, and we're seeking contributions that help grow and strengthen our community. At this stage of development, we particularly value attracting contributors who can add significant value—talented builders, motivated leaders, researchers, and people who are genuinely interested in learning about and contributing to fractal governance. Quality matters more than quantity: inviting one highly engaged contributor often creates more value than attracting many passive observers.
Community engagement contributions include inviting people who would be strong fits for our community to join events, building relationships with potential collaborators in adjacent spaces, welcoming and onboarding new participants to help them feel at home, and retaining existing community members through meaningful interaction. Being a welcoming community member is itself a valuable contribution—when new participants join, helping them navigate our processes, answering their questions, and making them feel like they belong encourages continued engagement. Even nurturing relationships with people who may not be actively joining events but could become valuable contributors in the future creates foundations for collaboration.
This also includes outreach and relationship-building with complementary projects and communities in the governance innovation space. Whether it's reaching out to developers building similar tools, connecting with communities experimenting with democratic processes, or simply planting seeds with people who might contribute significantly in the future, these efforts strengthen the fractal ecosystem. Contributors who can work independently and bring their own initiative are especially valuable, though everyone will naturally have questions as they learn our processes—we welcome curious people who engage thoughtfully with the community.
