From the CMO's Desk: Recap of the Week and a Look Ahead

The current marketing strategy is pivoting exclusively to promoting Dynamic VNRG, emphasizing its features as a next-generation solution for Web3 developers. This campaign is designed to maximize awareness, engagement, and adoption within the Web3 developer community, leveraging a creative, zero-budget approach to make maximum impact.

Our 4-week plan kicks off this coming Monday with building awareness through blogs, infographics, and social media threads, followed by deeper engagement with live Q&A sessions, GitHub resources, and practical use case examples. The focus will then shift to community building and adoption through tutorials, case studies, and direct, one-on-one developer outreach powered by Mentionlytics.

By utilizing free platforms like X, LinkedIn, Discord, Telegram, Dev, Farcaster, and Reddit, combined with active community participation through collaboration with the CAT Team, weโ€™re strategically positioned to amplify visibility and foster trust. Success will be tracked through social engagement, community growth, organic website traffic, and connections (leads generation) with Web3 developers.

Announcing VITCOM!
๐Ÿ”— Vitcom.co
The new and official community operations center supporting Vitreus is now live. Although itโ€™s in the early stages, the infrastructure transition begins today, and the website is soft-launching!

---

VITCOM's Mission
Previously, the community was supported by one large team, the "C.A.T." team, which functioned as a group of freelancers helping wherever needed. While effective for a time, this approach revealed challenges like insufficient social media focus, overloaded support tickets, and lack of educational resources due to design flaws in the old system.

With a fresh start this year, VITCOM introduces a new structure with three specialized teams. Each team focuses on specific goals, moving away from the "everyone does everything" approach to better meet the needs of the community. Additionally, VITCOM extends beyond Discord, reaching broader audiences across multiple platforms.

---

VITCOM Teams

๐Ÿ“š EDUCATION
The focus is on simplifying documents and technical content. The goal is to make Vitreus more accessible, creating resources that help the community and make it easier for new audiences to learn about Vitreus.

๐ŸŽบ SIEGE
Led by Nick, the CMO, Siege works on strategizing social media efforts to target the most effective platforms, times, and content. The goal is to attract more viewers and builders to the Vitreus ecosystem.

๐Ÿ›ก GUARD
This team continues the support work previously done by the C.A.T. team. They handle customer service, foster engaging discussions, provide information, and maintain server security against potential attacks.

OPERATORS
vNode operators now have their own dedicated section in the community website, recognizing their vital role in the ecosystem.

---

Volunteer Efforts
The new team structure opens opportunities for community members to get involved without the stress or obligations of an official role. Starting next week, signups will be available for anyone interested in contributing to a team. Volunteers will receive guidance and insight into operations, helping drive team success for the benefit of Vitreus. Stay tuned for more details!

---

Final Thoughts
VITCOM is not meant to replace the Vitreus website, which remains business-focused. Instead, it serves as a community-driven platform that supports the foundation and provides a welcoming entry point for new users.

Community feedback is encouraged! Share your thoughts in chat. Content improvements and additions, particularly in the Education section, will be ongoing in the coming weeks and months.

Have a wonderful weekend, Vitreus Community!

๐Ÿš€Version 4.0.0 is here!

Here's what's new:

These issues are due to moving from Testnet to Mainnet. They are minor fixes which have been identified and are working to be concluded. If any other issues are discovered, please report them in our Discord Support channel.
๐Ÿ—’ Due to the restructuring of the account architecture to support multiple accounts, you will need to input your wallet's seed phrase again.


Please do not answer DMs about support; we donโ€™t do that. Open a ๐ŸŽŸticket and our VITCOM team will assist you.

Thank you for your patience. ๐ŸŽ‰

โš ๏ธโš ๏ธโš ๏ธ Important Update โš ๏ธโš ๏ธโš ๏ธ
Hello Everyone,

Our Mainnet runtime update is targeted for the end of the month! This means that Dynamic VNRG will be pushed to Mainnet! During the following 2 weeks after our deployment of Dynamic VNRG we will be collecting data and we'll adjust anything needed during this window of enhanced vigilance to ensure everything is as intended.

After we push this runtime update on Friday (January 31st) the current vApp (4.0.1) will lose its VNRG tab functionality.
โš ๏ธ This means you will not be able to swap VNRG until the new version is out. DO NOT BE ALARMED!
โš ๏ธ
This is expected behavior and we will have a vApp update ready for Apple and Google to review and hope to see it pass through approvals over the weekend.
- vApp 4.0.2 will remedy the VNRG tab and add some new functionality, as well as fixes to the performance weโ€™ve seen degraded since 4.0.1

๐Ÿ’ฅ Further updates, [vGovern ](https://dao.vtrs.io/council) and the [Green Explorer](https://explorer.vtrs.io/txs?events) updates are Live! ๐Ÿš€

There will be a new proposal put forward related to the ๐Ÿค–vForge MVP coming out today as our next Referenda.

Lastly, ๐ŸŒ‰ Hyperlane is slated to follow-up the push of Dynamic VNRG, which needs to be redeployed, machines turned on and testing conducted before its ready to release (optimisically 2.5+ weeks), which is included in the considerations within the vForge MVP scope.

Some more details at the Townhall Today.

To recap:
- Dynamic VNRG will be pushed to Mainnet Friday!
- vGovern and Green Explorer Live!
- vAppโ€™s VNRG tab will be unusable after the runtime update but will be fixed in 4.0.2
- vApp 4.0.2 will be ready for app store review over the weekend.
- Hyperlane soon!

Dev pod has been doing great! Thank you for the continued support everyone!

๐Ÿ”ฅ vForge is gearing up for a potential launch in a few weeks, if the referendum passes this weekend! To that effect, and to be ready when we have a working product, this week weโ€™ve locked in the GTM (go-to-market) strategy, crafting both the website and marketing plan to showcase Vitcomโ€™s anticipated power alongside live product demos, affiliate programs, and strategic partnerships that will target small market makers.

๐Ÿ’ก Web3 developer outreach is on fire! Weโ€™re keeping the one-on-one engagement strong, pushing Dynamic VNRG across multiple platforms. This weekโ€™s score: 4 new leadsโ€”2 devs, 1 integrator, and 1 potential partner ready to explore possibilities!

โ˜Ž๏ธ Taylor and I have set up a weekly sync with Victus to explore Vitreus + vForge synergies with their portfolio.

๐Ÿ’ฐ And yes, weโ€™re still hunting for grants to fuel our growth! If thereโ€™s free money out there, weโ€™ll find it. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
