Vega's Mission, Vision and Mega Goal
"The Vega Protocol will power the foremost decentralised markets in financial products. Just as bitcoin is the cryptocurrency most recognised and the first to be seriously considered or traded by major institutions, so markets built on Vega will be the first credible and mainstream decentralised markets for financial products."
What this means and how we plan to achieve this are of course things the Vega team have been mulling over since inception. Barney has offered a glimpse into how we're thinking about this alongside the Vega mission and vision in this forum post✨
If this is something that speaks to you, we have a few job openings in the Engineering team that will be going on to the website next week. If you're in development or QA, keep your eye on the Open Jobs page for more information.
Bounties Update
There are several Vega bounties being worked on right now, and excitingly, more in the works. Launched just before the festive break, one of the Vega community members is building a mobile friendly viewer for governance proposals. This app will let people review and vote on market proposals easily and quickly from their smartphone. For those developers who already have a bot or system that they use for DeFi, within their code they might use a popular library such as CCXT or xChange to make their integration simpler. With this in mind there’s bounty work under way to integrate Vega with popular 3rd party libraries. We welcome any suggestions for new bounty ideas via the Vega community forums or alternatively on Discord in the #bounty-support channel.
One Month Since Vega Wallet Release
It's been just a month since we announced Vega wallet and total open access to Testnet! Whilst a mere month is probably not reason enough to call it an anniversary, we're really proud and excited about the release 🥳 If you're yet to experience the joy that is non-custodial highly capital efficient trading, here's Barney's blog explaining how to do so. If you want any help with the wallet, launch markets or come geek out join our weekly Vega Testnet Jam every Thursday 6-7pm. We share the zoom link in our Discord or subscribe to the Vega Community Calendar 🍯
Community Call
Our fortnightly community call is back again next Tuesday! Tune in for the latest release notes, markets launched and top forum questions. Like the Testnet Jam we post the zoom room in Discord but again, you can also subscribe to the Vega Community Calendar so you won’t miss it.
