1. Community Call - August 2022 🦔
Every month on the first Tuesday the Community Call slides its way into your YouTube feed (if you’re subscribed 👀). Instead of waiting for the call to slide into your feed, why not slide into its feed and catch us live on Twitch? That’s right, you can watch along live, ask questions, and chat with the Vega[+] Community as they digest what’s new this month! 🤠
So what is new? Well, I guess you’ve committed to not watching the video above so I’ll tell ya the highlights! This month Vega had Daig (me🍊) and Dan 🏔 from the Community Team hosting as we covered:
Fairground Incentives (particularly Governance Games ⚖️)
Vega+ (3 more Senior Ambassadors have entered the fray ⚡️⚡️⚡️)
Builders AMA (next week with validator XPRV 🔥)
NFTs (👀)
ChETH CC (the community happenings ♟)
The Vega Blog (it be bussin’; new article every Monday 🥊 )
Live Questions (from Vega+ & the wider Community 🤩)
2. Governance Games - Market creation fest START!🍷💹
In order to test out governance linked to market creation in a more realistic setting, we decided to let the community lead this incentive 👑.
The Governance Games incentive is set up in a way for the community to experience how proposals for creating new markets using Vega might look, starting at the idea and ending with a launched market. Since governance requires us to test areas that are not only technical but also the docs, the proposals are led by 3 teams of community members with very little support from the team. We have already seen great involvement, both from the community teams and the participants in the incentive. After a day, there have been a lot of learnings with many interesting ideas - both regarding how and where to discuss proposals, as well as how to set up markets!
The incentive ends on Wednesday the 10th of August! 🪅
Are you interested in learning how to set up a market, voting, providing liquidity or perhaps all 3? Then this is the perfect incentive for you, come join, it is not too late! ⚖️
3. The Vega Market Creation Process - New Blog Post 😍
As you know, Vega has been evangelising the importance of permissionless market creation since its inception! Learn more about Vega’s market creation process & steps required to propose a market to the community!
In order to be truly decentralised, projects must build permissionless market creation functionality at the protocol level, allowing their communities to openly decide which markets they would like to access.
As you might’ve read above, the first Governance incentive launched this week around market creation, so this article is particularly relevant - exciting times for the Vega community! 🦔

4. Vega+ - Senior Ambassadors Enter The Fray ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Vega+ has been getting spicy lately. Spicy is an understatement, IT’S BOILING 🥵 (both outside my mother’s basement where I write this AND in Vega+ 🤪)!
Well well, what’s going on? 🤨 🤔 🤨
3 more Senior Ambassadors have been selected for the benefit of the Vega Community (5 total ⚡️). These 5 are masters of various aspects of Vega+ from Task & Bounties, to Content, Quizzes, and Moderation! The very best from all intakes were selected and we are super excited to continue working with them as the Vega family grows bigger 🤗!
Ambassadors are taking the lead on the Market Creation Governance Incentive mentioned above! Check out their market proposals and give feedback on what you like and what could be better → HERE
Next week Ambassadors begin working in groups on a MEGA task to share the knowledge they’ve been gathering up over the past week. The task is currently a secret but the best submission will be shared around Vega and will be judged by the Team/Senior Ambassadors.
Let The Games Begin 🤩And to top it all off, Apprentice applications will be re-opening soon so that curious community members can hop in and join the gang if they’re ready and enthusiastic enough to do so! 🌱
5. Builders AMA - An XPRV Special 🎁
Don’t miss out on the next appointment with the Builders Club! Itchy Jake will be running the show as usual and will be joined by the Vega Engineering team & Frank Novo from XPRV (one of Vega’s 13 restricted mainnet validators). Business will be as usual but Mr Novo will delight us with his perspective on what XPRV have been building and life as a Vega Validator - here is a little spoiler:

There might be more surprises so be sure to attend frens! We will be welcoming you on the Vega Stage channel in Discord at 12.30pm GMT +1 on the 9th of August 😉.
🌱 Some would say now’s the best time to get involved in the Community 🌱
