A week of learnings and IRL meeting 🪐 Here’s what’s new at Vega:
1. Vega+ - The 2nd Batch GRADuates 🎓
Time really has flown by - the 2nd set of Vega+ Apprentices have gone through the phases and graduated into fully fledged Ambassadors! Ambassador megaboss, Daig, would like to give a very warm congratulations to: yousneech, angeldeln111, Fu**ermaker, Helena1995, Usoro, Kumzy, and Nikkutta. It’s an exciting time to be an ambassador of the Vega Protocol and the latest members are joining a growing family of leaders within the Vega Community!
Check out each of their Twitter’s linked and give them a follow to see what they get up to next ✨
2. CHETH MATE - GM with a Grandmaster ♟
The highlight of EthCC for us all had to be the opportunity to chat with and grow the Community whilst getting our derrière kicked by [the very friendly] Chess Grand Master Rustem Dautov!
For this event, Vega partnered with friends over at Immortal Games (an innovative Chess platform powered by blockchain). At the peak of the event, Dautov took on 16 players at once (AND HE DIDN’T LOSE EVEN ONCE)! Custom Vega-X-Immortal Games chess boards were given to particularly talented players that made it into the final showdowns. This was definitely an event to remember, here’s to meeting more of the community at future IRL meetups! 🤗
3. More on the Vega Token - Blog #1 🧐
Read the ins and outs of the VEGA token, learn more about the staking and governance functionalities! Every good project needs to design effective design mechanisms to foster growth and development on the chain. In one of the blog posts dropped this week, we provided an updated deep dive on the Vega token.
Did you know staking rewards are relative to total trading fees on the platform? Or that the token is used for governance to create new or amend current markets? 🧠 🧠 🧠

5. Fairground - A Double Whammy! 🍭 🍭
This week, two incentives ran on Vega’s fairground…To the Limit! 📈 📈 📈
This was an incentive for testing deposits and withdrawals on fairground. Many participants worked really hard to test out the deposit and withdrawal limits and helped find areas of improvement for the system. Since participants had issues withdrawing due to asset limits, this has been taken into consideration when performing the raffle for the winners.
Dodgems x ETHcc 🇫🇷
This week, some of the Vega team were on the ground at EthCC! In a nod to the conference, this week’s trading incentive was EthCC-themed. The incentive ran smoothly, with many participants managing to make trades and get themselves on the leaderboard. Looking to the future, the community has identified trading and liquidity provision bots as an area of improvement; the team are working on it 💥!
🥖 Au revoir Paris, let the regular community activities continue next week 🥖
