📈 1 market, 2 markets, 3 markets, more? 📈 Here’s the latest at Vega:
1. Vega Forum Round-up - New Proposals Inbound 🗣
Since the deployment of Alpha Mainnet, there has been significant activity on the Vega forums! First and foremost, there is a proposal to add Wrapped Ether ($WETH) as an additional settlement asset. The proposal is currently in the process of being approved, and if enacted, $WETH will be made available to create new markets on the Vega network. Furthermore, once Ethereum oracles are integrated, the community will have the opportunity to explore various "exotic" market creation proposals, adding further excitement and diversity to the ecosystem 🍍 🐸 🙊
Additionally, the inclusion of $WETH in the Vega bridge will be highly advantageous when spot markets go live later this year. Users will gain the ability to propose and create efficient order-book-based markets across a wide range of trading pairs, thereby enhancing the depth and versatility of the Vega ecosystem.
For those curious about the current settlement assets on Vega, you can easily access Block Explorer!
Lastly, a new market creation proposal has recently been added to the Vega forum. We invite you to check out all the details and actively participate in the ongoing discussions.
2. Fireside chat with Barney, Michael & Bhavik - Tune in 🎧
On Monday, June 5th at 18:00 UTC / 14:00 ET, the Vega team organized a Fireside chat on Twitter Spaces featuring Barney, Michael Arrington, and Bhavik. The chat delved into various topics: Vega's unique qualities as an uncompromisingly decentralized exchange, a detailed exploration of Vega's architecture and how it functions in real-world trading scenarios for both retail and institutional participants.
For our avid readers in the Community, Arrington prepared a blog post that covers all the essential details from the Fireside chat.
Last but not least, we'd like to highlight a fun tweet from the Community Twitter account.

5. NEW Swag - Caps in the Vega House 🧢
It is a well-known fact that the Vega community like swag 🙌. The current Vega swag is cool (best swag at EthDenver 🦄) but nothing new has been released for some time now ☹️. This is why some exciting new t-shirts (to be revealed soon 👀) and caps have been created for the IRL and online community 🥳. The caps will be floating around during Prague Blockchain Week and some online giveaways will be taking place in the near future to reward the community that represents the project. Keep an eye on Vega social media channels for updates on these exclusive opportunities to win Vega swag 🔥🔥🔥.
🎯 The stablecoins have company; settlement assets are sneaking onto the Vega chain 🎯
