Vega Mainnet is coming for all, but what about those still riding the Fairground Testnet?
It has been 2 weeks, here is what’s new at Vega:
1. Educational AMA with Mainnet Validator Candidates 🗣
Last week, Barney Mannerings, Vega Co-Founder, moderated a public AMA where the community had the opportunity to learn about the process involved in validating a network like Vega and to ask clarifying questions. Questions were pre-sourced from the Vega Community Forums with the opportunity to ask more at the event itself. At it’s peak there were well over 70 attendees from across the globe speaking & asking about what makes a great set of network validators!
Catch up with the event via the YouTube Recording above.
2. Vega Fairground: Incentivised Testnet Fun Continues 🎠
Sneak preview - a little birdy tells me that the 2nd round of incentivised testnet might be beginning in August. (🦜💬->🎠⌛)
Keep your eyes peeled next week for further information. In the meantime, do remind yourself about the format & results from the previous round - Dodgems.
3. Fairground Jam - Getting Started with Incentivised Testnet 🐣
In anticipation of the next round of incentivised Testnet, last week’s Vega Fairground Jam covered the activities that you’ll need to be familiar with to participate:
Hint: We’re keeping it simple, you just need to be able to deposit and withdraw!
Catch future Vega Fairground Jam live-streams, every Thursday, 6pm BST/UTC+1 (This week: Part 2 of An Introduction to Console with User Advocate, Candida)
4. Vega Builders Club (VBC) - Updated Schedule! 📆 -> 🧰
The schedule for VBC has been moved: the next VBC (#5) will take place on Tuesday 31st August, 7pm BST/UTC+1.
NOTE: This is instead of the usual session every other Monday. For the most accurate information on Vega Events, see the Community Calendar HERE & on the Vega LinkTree!
In VBC #5, we’ll be continuing the Build-a-bot series. The session will begin with esteemed VBC member & former Vega hackathon winner, MarcoTor, walking us through his code skeleton so far. This will be followed by VBC lead and Vega Developer Advocate Chris going over governance voting and network parameters.

5. Vega Research Office Hours 📑
Every Wednesday, 12pm BST/UTC+1 tune in for the Vega Research Office Hours on the Vega Discord Stage.
This is a relaxed 30-minute session with the Vega Research Team where you can ask any questions on the technical side of the protocol you may have. As always, they’re happy to chat about anything else! 💬💬
These take place every Wednesday, at 12pm BST/UTC+1 on the Vega Discord Stage!
🦜 And that wraps up this week, see you in 2… 🦜
