Calling all Builders & Market Makers 🧱 Here’s what’s new at Vega:
1. Mainnet Simulations - Bounty Challenge 🚨💰
This week Vega’s Mainnet simulations bounty challenge launched & we’re calling all market makers! If you know of any good market makers, send this blog their way, Vega is looking for market makers and there are $30,000 bounties paid in USDC per market maker up for grabs! 💰💰💰
As Vega keeps working hard on the release of Alpha Mainnet, one of the important aspects, amongst the many complexities of building Vega, is certainly the incentivisation of markets! The Vega Protocol will offer traders and market makers a unique opportunity to become owner-operators of the markets they want to trade on once trading is enabled, and what better way than to test things out on Fairground with juicy bounties!? 🧃
Successful market makers will also benefit from a first mover advantage and consequently, when Mainnet launches, a better understanding of how Vega works! What are you waiting for!? Complete this FORM & get ready! 🚀
2. Builders Club - Calling all Builders + AMA 🧱
The Vega Builders club is pleased to announce a newbie curriculum for those with technical skills who are new to building on Vega. The curriculum will cover the basics of blockchain technology, finance concepts and Vega’s architecture, before covering how to interact with Vega’s APIs, use Vega Capsule and BUIDL on Vega 🧱.
The curriculum is currently being beta tested and improved with the help of some of Vega’s Senior Ambassadors, and should be ready to launch later this year! If you’re interested in signing up, you can register your interest → HERE!
Want a taste of what the Builders club is all about? Come along to the Builders AMAs, hosted bi-weekly on Discord at 12:30 GMT+1 every other Tuesday! We cover a variety of topics covering Validators to Core engineering to Data Node, and any projects built atop of Vega. Any experience is welcomed & if you have a vega-related project you would like to demo/chat about, get in touch. Community-built projects are always loved, no matter what stage they are at!
3. Community Call #25 - September 2022 ☎️
On the first Tuesday of every month, 5pm GMT+1, tune in to the Community Twitch stream today to find out the latest goings on in the Community and with Vega at large!

4. Vega+ Group Task - Pitching & Community Voting 🗳
Last week, the Vega Community voted on their favourite Pitch Deck produced by 3 Groups from the Vega+ Ambassadors.
The Goal: To educate themselves & prove the knowledge they've accumulated over the months of being in Vega+
The Result: After a very strong competitive spirit from both sides, Group 1 ended up winning the Community Vote for the Group Task! There was also an internal vote with Vega Judges consisting of the Team and Senior Ambassadors - Group 3 won this vote! 🦔 🦔 🦔

5. EthCC rendezvous - DeFi Slate 🥷🇫🇷
Back in Paris, during EthCC, Vega was invited for a frenly chat with Defi Slate, you can read the full conversations HERE.
Vega is Greek. That’s where the name comes from for Vega. It’s a protocol for derivatives of all sorts. It’s kind of like a scaling layer, but also a set of primitives that makes it easy to build permissionless derivatives markets
& if you missed Vega’s adventure in Paris, be sure to check Vega’s recap blog!
6. Vega+ Update - 6 Months In 👑
It has now been 6 months since Vega+ opened its doors to the first group of Apprentices at EthDenver - since then, so much has been achieved! How much? A new Blog post will go live in the next 2 weeks updating the past, present, and future of Vega+ 🥳
