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](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/governance-over-the-holiday-break-2021-2022/11694) posted by @LongForWisdom for MakerDAO's holiday governance schedule.
### Unified Auctions UI Release
Sidestream Auctions Core Unit Facilitator @danik [announces the initial release](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/unified-auctions-ui-release-v0-3-2-december-10th-2021/12147) of the [Unified Auctions Portal,](https://auctions.makerdao.network/) "a unified entry point for all auction-related tools and services."
The Auctions Portal includes an explanation of different auction types and links to existing tools to help individuals participate in auctions.
### MakerDAO initiates delegate compensation
With the passage of the [December 2nd Executive Vote,](https://vote.makerdao.com/executive/template-executive-vote-parameter-changes-delegate-compensation-vault-onboarding-december-3-2021?network=mainnet#proposal-detail) MakerDAO has transferred a total of 35,834 Dai to four Recognised Delegates:
- FlipFlopFlap Delegate LLC
- Feedblack Loops LLC
- ultraschuppi
- Field Technologies Inc.
This is in accordance with the three-month Delegate Compensation Trial outlined in [MIP61](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/mip61-delegate-compensation/10640) and voted on in [this Signal Request.](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/signal-request-should-we-trial-delegate-compensation-as-described-in-mip61-over-3-months/10978) Please see [MIP61](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/mip61-delegate-compensation/10640) and the [Ratification Poll](https://vote.makerdao.com/executive/template-executive-vote-parameter-changes-delegate-compensation-vault-onboarding-december-3-2021?network=mainnet#proposal-detailhttps://vote.makerdao.com/executive/template-executive-vote-parameter-changes-delegate-compensation-vault-onboarding-december-3-2021?network=mainnet#proposal-detail) 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.
### State of DAI
![Peg](https://i.imgur.com/vbGp6nM.png)
DAI peg is generally fine except for large trade slippage, which is normal across DEX platforms.
![](https://i.imgur.com/YZs5wm7.png)
- Max and min at 1.09 and 0.95, giving DAI a slight premium over this last week on 417 million in volume.
- Average price puts DAI just below peg at 0.999945.
![Dai Supply](https://i.imgur.com/K2MbVB6.png)
- 9.2 billion total supply with 18 billion in TVL.
![VWAP](https://i.imgur.com/71AR0oc.png)
- ETH-DAI saw its highest weekly volume on Uni and Sushiswap, where ETH was trading at sub $3,800.
![Loan to Value](https://i.imgur.com/YETQhhG.png)
- The DAO's current Loan-to-Value(LTV) ratio of 79% is the **highest it's been since October**.
- LTV allows lenders to assess the risk of a secured loan by taking the loan amount and setting it relative to the asset's current market value. *(LTV = (Amount owed on a loan/Appraised value of asset) x 100).*
![New vaults](https://i.imgur.com/vwTZIGT.png)
- 31 new creators opened a total of 49 vaults.
![mint/burn](https://i.imgur.com/5XMIlpU.png)
- A net burn of **-13.27 mil** DAI on the week.

### Active Signal Requests
[Should Maker Prioritize Onboarding A Compound D3M?](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/signal-request-should-maker-prioritize-onboarding-a-compound-d3m/11997) - 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](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/signal-request-adjust-minimum-bid-increase-beg-and-lot-size-bump-on-flap-auctions/12151) - 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.
