🐛 Testing testing, 1, 2, 3 - test the Browser Wallet with us 🐛 Here’s the latest at Vega:
1. Vega Wallet - Browser Extension Testnet Release ✨
After months of grinding, the Vega Front-End Team has launched Version 0.6.1 of the Vega Wallet — Browser extension (available for testing on the Fairground network). You can download it on Mozilla and Chrome. The earlier 0.6.0 has already been through an initial community round of testing on last week’s incentive.
The Front-End team have also been busy with a UI refresh for the Trading Console 👀

2. Revolutionising DeFi & Decentralized Trading - Pantera Blog 🔱
What makes Vega special? Vega's unique app-chain architecture is optimised for high-performance derivatives trading and integrates with an Ethereum bridge, enabling users to leverage ERC-20 assets on-chain.

3. Improved trading experience
4. Capability toolbox & top-notch UI/UX
5. Open participation and community-driven principles
Alpha Mainnet marks the end of a journey we set out on back in 2018, but more importantly, it begins the financial revolution that both Pantera and the Vega team are passionate about — Barney M.

3. Incentives - Testing the Browser Wallet 🧪
The first Fairground Incentive since the launch of Alpha Mainnet was just a week ago AND boy does it looks like Incentives are back in full swing! This week Iceberg Orders II came to a close (on NYC Temperature Markets; there’s some market-making inspiration for ya). I hear next week’s testnet incentive may feature the newly launched Stop Orders 🛑 (try it out on the Vega Console if you have a minute).
4. Governance Votes - Trading Fee Parameters & DOGE 🐶
After much initial discussion in Vega’s Discord and more detailed discussion in the Governance Forums, 4 new governance proposals have appeared on-chain.
3 of them concern the fee parameters that ultimately affect the trading fee that end users pay whilst the other is a market proposal for DOGE/USDT (the first market proposal without a Coinbase Oracle 👏).
There are 5 days left to vote via the Vega Governance Dapp…
5. Community Call - August 2023 ☎️
New month, a new community call ☎️ This month featured the Browser Wallet, Vega+ Applications re-opening, and changes to the way the Vega Roadmap is presented to the community.
If you weren’t able to watch the live stream (5pm first Tuesday of the month), catch up with the recording above 🎧
📊 Good UI leads to Good UX, may Console & The Browser Wallet bring us ever closer 📊
