1. Alpha Mainnet AMA With Barney - Twitter Spaces 🔔
In the previous Community Update, we had anticipated an Alpha Mainnet AMA on Twitter Spaces… well, here it is! On Friday the 2nd of December 2022, Barney and Daig will be taking us through what Alpha Mainnet looks like! This is your chance to come on the Space, ask questions and learn more about Vega’s next steps.
& don’t forget to set your reminder! 🫶🦔👇
2. More Thoughts On The FTX Crash - Dailycoin 💭
As the FTX meltdown continues to unfold many in the crypto community worry that the collapse will bring more ‘pain’ to the market and negatively affect asset prices. Others object to the popular media claims that FTX is crypto, as it isn’t. Crypto is about publicly available source code, transparency and decentralisation, to mention a few.

3. Vega Poker Social 2.0 - Get Your Chips In Line! ♣️
After much demand and a community vote on Discord, the 2nd Vega Poker Tournament will commence at 8PM UTC on Tuesday 29th of November. Sign up for the event in Discord → Sign Up Link ← Bring your A-GAME if you’d like to take out Incentive Master Dan Daun who won last time. Some special guests will be attending, and we’d love to share a game with some up-and-coming poker rockstars in the community. See you on Tuesday! ♠️♥️♣️♦️
4. Crypto Hipster - Podcast Appearance 🎧
There’s a huge amount of building going on, and it has been going on for a while. These things take time, it has taken us quite a while to build Vega, as it’s an L1 and an app chain. In the medium term, we will see the next wave of more sophisticated, higher performance, and more scalable/usable blockchains — this will be super exciting! If you look at the long-term, we will see real-world use cases, and systems that people use because they are better than what they have today.

5. Incentive Recap - Weekend Testing 😴
During the previous week, one trading incentive took place - Dodgems IV. This lasted from Wednesday to Monday in order to test out the data nodes and bots for a longer amount of time, which went on without any issues. In addition to this, an additional trading incentive, Dodgems V, was launched over the weekend for those that didn't have time during the workweek. This also went off without a hitch, providing extra confidence in the test network.
6. Come & Play - Vega Market Sims 🤖
Tom, Quant Dev at Vega, was on stage alongside David during Devcon VI and presented ‘Parameter Optimization and Emergent Behavior in DeFi: Agent-Based Simulations and Reinforcement Learning’ (read the full Vega Devcon in Bogota here).

7. Validator Update - Chorus One ⛔️
Chorus One have announced that they will stop running their Vega validator. This will not affect the operation of the network, but if you are delegating VEGA to them, you should move your delegation to another validator by November 30th, in order to continue earning rewards. Any questions on the reasoning behind this decision should be addressed to Chorus One directly, as this was their decision.
