## [Seeking Consensus](https://forum.makerdao.com/tag/active-signal)

‘Yo, do you even signal?’

[Burn Baby Burn! [Burn The MKR Treasury]](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/signal-request-burn-baby-burn-burn-the-mkr-treasury/11617) - Signal Closes November 26th - @aburban90 asks the community to burn half of MKR in the treasury and use the remainder to vest Core Units.

[Should We Mint New MKR for Protocol Expenses or Fund Them With MKR from the MakerDAO Treasury?](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/signal-request-should-we-mint-new-mkr-for-protocol-expenses-or-fund-them-with-mkr-from-the-makerdao-treasury/11629) - Signal Closes November 27th - There is no clear indication about what should be the source of the MKR used for future expenses. @mkrorbkr presents two options: Use MKR from the MakerDAO Treasury or Mint new MKR using the PauseProxy.

[One-time Payment to COM-001 to Cover Missing DssVest Funds](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/signal-request-one-time-payment-to-com-001-to-cover-missing-dssvest-funds/11685) - Signal Closes November 26th - The original DSSVest stream for the Governance Communications Core Unit was configured incorrectly, resulting in an unclaimed 39,300 Dai. Initially, the team believed they could slide through their 4-month stream period using the buffer and other savings. However, legal services and additional expenses recently arose, which pushed @Davidutro to formally ask the community whether they support this one-off governance request. 

[Onboard G-UNI for UniV3’s new 0.01% fee tier](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/g-uni-dai-usdc-0-01-tier-onboard-g-uni-for-univ3s-new-0-01-fee-tier/11738) - Signal Closes November 25th - @kassandra proposes to onboard a G-UNI DAI / USDC 0.01% fee tier as a Maker Collateral type to help stay competitive. He provides proposed tick ranges and asks the community whether they want to onboard a G-UNI DAI/USDC 0.01% pool.

[Adjusting Dust Parameter (2021-4)](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/signal-request-adjusting-dust-parameter-2021-4/11598) - Signal Closes November 25th - With gas and ETH prices continuing to go up, our dust limits offer less protection against losses. In response, @monet-supply proposes whether we should increase dust limits for all Vault types.

[Offboarding MATIC](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/signal-request-offboarding-matic/11781) - The MATIC vault is unprofitable unless it will be able to generate around 30M Dai. @NikKunkel formally asks the community whether Governance should offboard the MATIC token as recently done with KNC, COMP, and others.
