Final Maker Relay of 2021
As this will be the final Maker Relay of 2021, the Maker Relay team would like to thank readers for their support and wish you all a wonderful holiday season! 🎄
Please be sure to check out Governance Over the Holiday Break - 2021/2022 by @LongForWisdom for MakerDAO’s holiday governance schedule.
MakerDAO initiates delegate compensation
With the passage of the December 2nd Executive Vote, MakerDAO has transferred a total of 35,834 Dai to four Recognised Delegates.
This is in accordance with the three-month Delegate Compensation Trial outlined in MIP61 and voted on in this Signal Request. Please see MIP61 and the Ratification Poll for more details.
Sorbet Finance UI vulnerability discovered
A vulnerability has been discovered in the Router contract used by the Sorbet Finance UI and funds have been whitehat hacked to a secure location.
Unfortunately, some wallets still have the contract approved to spend tokens. This does not directly affect MakerDAO’s integration with G-UNI but the Gelato team is requesting that all G-UNI users revoke token approvals for wallets that have interacted with the Sorbet Finance UI.
For reference, the contract can be located at: 0x14e6d67f824c3a7b4329d3228807f8654294e4bd

Active Signal Requests
Should Maker Prioritize Onboarding A Compound D3M? - Signal Closes December 17th - @GFXlabs, in consultation with the @Growth-Core-Unit and prominent Compound community members, is signaling to prioritize onboarding a D3M for the Compound DAI market in hopes to grow revenue, diversify counterparty risk, and demonstrate the MakerDAO does not favor Aave.
Adjust minimum bid increase(beg) and lot size (bump) on flap-auctions - Signal Closes December 31st - Data shows that there are some inefficiencies when it comes to how we buy back MKR such as buying 3.62% over market price. @JustinCase proposes to lower the beg to retain more value to be burned. In order to offset some of the disadvantages, @JustinCase would at the same time propose to increase the lot size.
