Join the praise movement in Optimism, where every contribution counts.
Praise is a form of acknowledgment and appreciation directed towards individuals or groups for their contributions and achievements. In the context of the Optimism community, praise is a reputation-based attestation that recognizes valuable contributions to the community.
Praise is earned through meaningful contributions to the community. It's not handed out freely but must be earned by aligning with the project's values and making positive impacts. Within the Optimism community, praise can be quantified and given an "impact score" through a community-led process.
