The Citizens' House is a large-scale experiment in non-plutocratic governance and retroactively rewarding public goods. As a Citizen you have two primary responsibilities:
1.) Determine which public goods get rewards by voting on the allocation of Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RetroPGF).
To date, the primary responsibility of the Citizens’ House has been the voting process that determines the allocation of RetroPGF. The Citizens' House introduced Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RetroPGF) as a pioneering approach to this form of governance. The method recognises and rewards past contributions that have offered substantial benefits to the Optimism Collective. Its fundamental philosophy is rooted in the belief that it’s easier to agree on the past impact of a project rather than predicting their future impact. You can learn more about RetroPGF in the RetroPGF Hub.
2.) Participate in the governance of the Citizens’ House
The Citizens’ House also stands as a governance pillar, alongside the Token House, in steering the Optimism Collective. You can read more about the dual house governance system here.
