Fifty shades of Vega, we’ve come a long way🪐 Here’s what’s new:
1. Incentive Update - Console V2 ☠️ 📉
This week’s Fairground incentive ‘The Biggest Looser’ had a slight twist - it was a trading game, but in this one, the aim was to lose as much money as possible without getting wiped out & completely REKT! The Biggest Loser was the first chance for the community to test out Vega’s Console V2, which comes with a completely new layout and trading UI.
After a while… this happened:
Thanks to rigorous use and testing, the community uncovered some bugs, which are being rectified as you read - Incentives have proven time and time again that they are extremely valuable to improve Vega’s software - hope you enjoyed The Biggest Loser!
2. Builders AMA #5 - Opening Vega's codebase to the public 👉 👾 👈
The Builders Club hosted their 5th AMA. The discussion focused on the fact that Vega’s repositories and source code are now publicly available. Members of the engineering team discussed the challenges they faced while trying to make the source code public, and what they were most looking forward to now: that anyone can have a look at the way Vega works!
Since there is a lot of code to explore, builders are encouraged to start with the specifications repository and work from there! Interested in building on Vega? Join the Builders Club! Get alpha from the #💻developer-discussion in Discord!
