Howdy! 🤠 If you’re reading this and haven’t signed up for Vega’s Mainnet Simulations, you’ve been living under a rock. A BIG ONE! 🗿

Just ICYMI the Mainnet Simulations are the next step in Vega’s roadmap before the release of Alpha Mainnet. You can join the mission, help stress-test the network & earn VEGA. The reward pools will be up to 150k VEGA! Congrats to the Sims #1 winners, more details can be found below 😻

2. Mainnet Sim #1 - Wrap-up Blog 🥸

Mainnet Simulation one of four is complete! Mainnet Sim #1 succeeded in Vega’s aims of stress testing the network, getting feedback & implementing key improvements.

There are still many more opportunities left to join us in testing and earn a piece of the 150k VEGA rewards at stake. Get ready! Sim 2 is currently scheduled for March 7th and will move forward when the necessary improvements and bugs are resolved… 🐛

Dear Vega Community, we're collecting feedback from Mainnet Sim #1 so that #2 in March can be THAT much better 🫡🫡🫡 100 $VEGA for one lucky person that fills out the form before February 24th👇 vegaprotocol.typeform.com/sim1feedback

4. Cross Gems Fairground Incentive - Take Part 🍭

As we prepare for Mainnet Sim #2, we’ve launched a trading incentive, where the rewards are a bit smaller, well a lot smaller actually than the Mainnet Simulations but that is not the point of the incentive. Cross Gems was not set up to stress test the network but rather to give you a chance to test out your cross-margin trading. 📈

This request came from you along with other great feedback that we received. The team hope you all are enjoying it, and as always, we love to hear your feedback! 💗

5. Community Call - February 2023 ☎️

With Sim #1 wrapped up and Sim #2 on the horizon, Vega+ lead Daig took some time on this month’s community call to talk everyone through the behind-the-scenes progress of the engineering team as laid out in Vega Bytes → 10th Feb & 3rd Feb. Timelines, roadmaps and all that good stuff around the Sims and Alpha Mainnet launch included in the video linked above. The only thing left to do is to show some love and give it a watch 🦔.

For the newbies, Vega Community Calls are on the first Tuesday of each month, 5pm GMT → Vega Twitch ←

And that’s all for this week…
