2. Research Office Hours - On-chain Referrals 🫂
Anticipation builds as the Cosmic Elevator release approaches, and with it, on-chain referrals 🫂🫂🫂🫂
On Wednesday 11th October, 12pm BST, Vega’s Monthly Research Office Hours took place with special guest @CharlieDummett from the Research Team. Together with Daig (me), we explored the novel mechanics around why Vega’s on-chain referral program is unique (an on-chain industry first? 👀) and how the community will be able to adapt it to their needs when Cosmic Elevator upgrade gets picked up by the validators later this month.

3. Fairground Incentive - Gold Perp Markets ⚜️
As we mentioned in the last email update, Vega Fairground will be having testnet incentives every single week (Vega4testing 💅)! These incentives are primarily testing the Perpetual markets alongside the upcoming On-chain referral system.
The next incentive is something we’ve never before seen on Vega: GOLDUSD ⚜️
These markets along with the incentive details will launch very soon, head to the Vega Discord to be the first to know → HERE ←

Buongiorno Vegabonds 🤌 Our time at Eth Milano was great! It was exhilarating as the first MEGA Ethereum event in Italy, drawing a pretty significant attendance, we're eagerly anticipating the developments over the next couple of years!
Madalina & Edo from the Vega team were at Palazzo delle Stelline last week for @eth_milano. On Day 1, Madalina took the stage with her insights on the "Psychology of User Experience in Decentralization".
It was great to meet up IRL with the community. Until the next one, arrivederci 🇮🇹
