“Ether's wise Phoenix, a beautiful bird,
Sits on the blockchain; its song can be heard.
From the ashes of code the Phoenix does rise,
A symbol of hope in the programmer's eyes.

With a gaze looking back on the seasons now past,
Public goods gain retroactive value at last.
With pluralistic blooms and optimism in the air,
The phoenix sings loud for ImpactDAOs everywhere.”

— by Colton Orr, from the Infinite Garden Coloring Book

This work was inspired by Optimism’s quest to summon the legendary bird.

"United by hope, empowered by protocols: This is the regen hero's journey."

"United by optimism, we craft the destiny of the Superchain."

“By my hand $DAI will die.”

“God himself could not sink this ship.”

“Follow me down the rabbit hole. This tech will make us friends.”

“Unbowed, unfazed, unbroken. Each was a link in an unbreakable chain.”

"It’s all coordination.”

"It appeared to have . . . zero knowledge."

"In the jungle of crypto, I am the alpha."

Under the Zoragon's watch, the Garden flourishes, sowing seeds of unity and expression."
