**Short Description & Deliverables:**

This proposal aims to create digital and physical educational content on Token Engineering on Optimism’s ecosystem. This content will be recorded at pop-up cities taking place around the world in H2, 2024. 

The expected deliverables are: 

- A series of three to four presentations that will:
--- Go over the TE Academy Basics,
--- Review selected TE tools, for example cadCAD, Cenit Finance and Inverter,
--- Produce a TE analysis of an existing Superchain protocol
--- A review of how pop-up cities can benefit from alternative digital currency

- Video recordings and Transcription of all of the above seminars 

- The creation of a new community of pop-up city attendees that care about Token Engineering 

**Full Description: **

Over the coming year, I will be participating as a founding attendee, and often as a co-organizer, to the emerging pop-up city phenomenon, initially led by Zuzalu and then continued by Vitalia and Creciemento Aleph, amongst others, which will likely predispose the formation of Network States. For hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of crypto-natives, their digital–first and nomadic nature allows them to select non-permanent locations as their preferred co-living options.

In other words, these pop-up cities have become an industry pillar; a center for cross-pollination of ideas and talent, and the most succinct mix of crypto-asset builders in the world - akin to major web3 conferences but with the longevity to actually and effectively build new knowledge and robust relationships.

I am already working on a book that describes and deep-dives into this phenomenon. Additionally, during the pop-up city MuBuenosAires, I, alongside Patricia Brolezzi (ex-TE Academy) helped lead multiple sessions on Token Engineering. This is my vision for TEC and Optimism. With the support of the grant, and the help of TEC and other tokenomic experts, I want to host continuous education and communication initiatives that showcase the value of proper token engineering in the audience that is already building on top of the Superchain.

Crecimiento Aleph will be first, Arc in Lisbon will follow in September, and Thailand will feature a number of pop-up cities in November that all are ripe for programing and education on the value of the TEC. 

Following the conclusion of a H2, 2024, I also plan to organize two pop-up cities in 2025 that will feature Token Engineering as one of the main three tracks. Although a fully concrete plan for 2025 activities is still too early to provide to this application, and expected changes are likely to occur to the execution of my proposal, we have submitted a Karma GAP account that will allow for a retroactive review of the execution steps of the proposal.
