IMO the path higher is going down is too passive. Too much of just sitting back and saying “hey you can come build on top of h”. Higher needs to turn the switch and become aggressive in seeking talent and PAYING for it. I don’t know exactly what the best flow for this is… could be focusing on some listings.. could be focusing on finding accounts on X who have influence. Could be trying to onboard some well known builders to higher… prolly all these need to happen and fast.

💯 The "create something and others will come & build too" doesn't work. The "give out grants & incentives for people to come" works initially but you don't attract the best & opportunists jump onto the next opportunity. > You gotta ship the foundation - blockchain &or core community > AND you gotta ship the first killer app/initiative yourself > AND you gotta aggressively go for growth, long-term partners Ethereum managed to get buy-in from top people in crypto at the earliest time & always enabled businesses to operate profitably in the eco or benefit from ETH use/alignment. Optimism got big partnership deals recently at a time where all blockchains compete for buy-in from top collaborators. This incl incentives but value is also flowing back to OP & it's now positioned best among l2 clusters. Both parties got talent, negotiated from a position of power. Underdogs gotta work harder, build more, grow more aggressively. Study also Aero or memes like Doge & Bonk. (Deals, attention, ecosystem buy-in)

EXACTLY so what are we doing!? Or what can we do. I don't want to see higher fumble what could be a really solid network but the leaders are too philosophical at this stage of the game. Yes this "headless brand" has leaders and needs to stop pretending they are not imo

It seems the leaders work on many things, recognized the need for growth, but there's currently a missing link in the community. I'm with you that I see potential in higher as a brand, network of quality people/initiatives, & also a collective token project that has to push aggressively. the lack of some shared docs, overview of things worked on (roadmap) and ways to join/contribute/earn? is holding it a bit back. imo it starts with a good group chat for all things higher (> lauched t.me/higherio) - which will hopefully help people direct these kinds of questions &or get them answered within 5 minutes + funnel people into different subchats/subinitiatives as well as vice versa. I just bought higherio.xyz and try to bring it alive over the weekend, which should be a better entry point (as long as there is no other) and explain higher, initiatives, products, ways to Participate, Contribute, Buy.. maybe 1 community call wouldn't be bad thing either to get up-to-date? https://warpcast.com/lght.eth/0xb4c944d4

That is awesome to see.. And I was trying to plan a "higher hour" type call with the community but honestly I started to second guess if it was the right move. I may not be the most organized person to be the "voice" that is leading it. But I do think something like this would be valuable in some way

Well, for the first call I was hoping to hear from the leaders directly what they are currently working on, thinking about next steps for higher etc. Regular community calls are a cool thing to bring in new folks as well as make participants go deeper & also get up-to-date with new initiatives, projects, products, news they can take in or share. Go for it 👍
