The virtual hackathon is concluding, are you in it to win it? Here’s the latest from Vega:
1. Vega+ Ambassador Program - Application results 💞
It’s been great to see so much energy for the Vega+ Ambassador Program! First of all, the Vega Team would like to send a huge thank you to everyone for sending off an application & getting involved. The second batch of applications have now been reviewed and you should have received feedback if you were successful! We honestly did not expect so many applications (1000+). Vega+ will start small, with an initial cohort of ~50 Apprentices. As these Apprentices move up the ranks, applications for Vega+ will re-open! So if you haven’t been selected just yet, stay on the lookout for further intakes & be active on Vega Community Channels - we remember names 😉🧠.
And if you made it, welcome aboard the Vega+ ship you DeFi Legends! ⚓🚀⚓🚀
2. Vega Desktop Wallet - Release & Staking Guide 📓
In the previous Community Update, we teased the Desktop Wallet, now it’s here! ✨

Official Desktop Wallet Blog: LINK
The Vega Desktop Wallet has been released and we got a great response from the community. With a super quick turnaround, Vega Validator, Commodum has created a staking guide for Vega token hodlers. If you’re a Vega hodler and still using the command line, it would be great if you gave the Desktop Wallet a try. As always, we are constantly collecting feedback to improve the user experience which you can give via the link below ⬇️⬇️

3. ETH Denver Virtual Submissions - Ending soon 🥥
ETH Denver has been a real IRL adventure - after the crypto festival mayhem (spot Vega’s Klaus), the focus has shifted on building and submitting virtual bounties. There are just a few days left to polish your Vega bounty submissions, with $30,000 USDT up for grabs + nice bonuses for exceptional submissions! 💸💸💸
All the info you’d need can be found on the GitHub → Launchpad ←
4. Vega Tech Update - It’s Back! 🧰👻🧰
2 short months have sped by since the last Vega Tech Update! February was skipped due to Community Resources being dedicated to in-person work at ETHDenver 2022 (click for the event in pictures)! Nonetheless, the Tech Updates are now back in full force and with more content than ever.
March’s nuggets of knowledge from Core Engineering (+ friends) features the release of the GUI Wallet, updates on Core Protocol Development, initial works on Vega’s Block Explorer and development of the Vega Console & New Mainnet Status Page. It’s our duty to keep you informed on Vega’s latest developments and so the Team are working on getting more of these to the community in a timely manner coupled with updates on the path towards Alpha Mainnet with Limited Trading.
