Sims #2 - Status: Live! Three days of trading left 🎠 Here’s the latest:
1. Mainnet Sims Continued AMA - Summary 😽
Before we get into the AMA, take a bite of this week’s Vega Bytes to make sure you’re up to date with the most important protocol developments 🍔
On Monday 27th of February, the Vega Team hosted their third AMA on Twitter Spaces focused on the theme of Alpha Mainnet. The Mainnet Sims Continued AMA covered the following topics: a Sim #1 wrap-up; context on the weekly Vega Bytes; what’s next in the Mainnet Sim roadmap; AMA questions from the Community! 😻
If you’d like to hear the whole session you can play it back by tapping the tweet👇
2. Mainnet Sims #2 - Discord Support ⛑
You know the deal, turn up to the Vega Discord where all the Vegabonds hang out. Support your fellow community member in setting up their wallet AND THEN out-trade them like a boss in the Sims 😎.
That aside, the Vega Community team are now holding dedicated sessions for the rare cases when someone is having trouble setting up for the Sims and can’t find the help they need 😵. These will take place for 2-hour stretches, once or twice a day. See the Discord ‘Events’ banner for the Saturday, Sunday, and Monday timings.
3. Eth Denver 2023 - Tom on Stage 🦬
Last year Eth Denver was a real blast for the Vega Community! The team has quite a bit of Eth Denver nostalgia right now by seeing all the mentions/ comments on Twitter — we appreciate you fam! 🫶
This year the Vega team really needed to focus its efforts on the Mainnet Simulations and stress testing the Vega network before the release of Alpha Mainnet. Nissa from Perception and Tom from Research are around #BUILD Palace — so give us a shout if you’re out and about! Additionally, Tom will be giving a talk on emergent behaviour in DeFi protocols today at 1pm MST / 9pm GMT! Good luck ser 🫡
If you’d like to learn more on the topic you can watch Tom and David’s workshop at Devcon VI in Bogota!
4. Community Call #31 - Pick Up ☎️
Here’s the monthly standard message: Community Call #31 will be making its way to the Vega Twitch channel, 5pm GMT, March 7th (first Tuesday of every month 🌻).
But, this month we have a non-standard special guest who will join us all for part of the call - Pete from engineering will be running a community tutorial on how to set up a Vega data node. If that, or the latest details on all things Community (Sims, Competitions, Vega+) interest you, then be sure to join us and feel free to send a message in the chat when you do 🤗.
5. Community Competitions - Join In 🦄
There are a few Community competitions running alongside and beyond the Sims:
a. Community Twitter PnL:
b. Mainnet Sims Scavenger Hunt:
This will launch next week. Hint - there will be crosswords and questions around the Sims. Very similar to the Blog Scavenger Hunts from late last year 👀.
6. Crew3 Refresh - Winners Selected 💫
As the engagement on Vega’s Crew3 quests has been great, we decided to reward the top 20 users with 10 VEGA each! 🎸The Vega quests range in difficulty and are quite different in nature, some are theoretical, other tasks are more hands-on, but they all have one common goal: education, education, education!📚 The team has been posting new quests regularly, so do stay active if you’d like to earn XP and reach the top of the questboard! We’ve already sent funds over to all the winners BUT we’re missing the Ethereum wallet addresses from the following winners: @PavloBalushka, @Dmitrij57120367, @DarkNikki312, @MaxJuro, @DanceOfDeathSM — give us a ping on Discord or send a DM via Twitter if you’d like to receive your VEGA rewards! 👛
🦄 Turn up, trade on, wipe out [all the other traders because you’re the best] 🦄
