3. Revising Points Markets — Vega Forum 🧐

The Vega project team has revised the research note about the settlement of points markets to cover a potential way to handle “Interim Airdrops”. Hyperliquid has recently launched an airdrop of a new spot token, PURR, for points holders. An active market for HL points is live on Vega, with settlement rules based on the research note. Markets on the Vega network are created and controlled by the community of users and token holders. Please use this forum post to discuss the airdrop and suggest any changes. If there are no significant objections, a follow-up post (or a comment below) will detail how we calculate the PURR price. 🗳

4. Fairground Incentives — Spot, Spot, Spot 🏛

Incentives on Fairgound will focus mainly on Spot markets as they are being tested to gearing up for the Colosseo release. If you want to earn rewards, stay updated through the official channels for the latest incentives! We have set up the Bug Hunting program to enhance the deployment process by detecting any additional bugs before the release. As part of this program, rewards will be given based on the severity of the bug and whether it’s related to the Front End or Core. 🐛 (It is important to note that in order to qualify for the rewards, the reported bugs must be within the defined scope, unique, reproducible, and recorded in Github discussions) 📝

The latest incentive ‘Spot The Reward’ is live until Tuesday 30th Apr. 11 AM UTC 🎠
