## News and Announcements

> [**Weekly Relay | Merge Work at MakerDAO**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/weekly-makerdao-recap/16382/16)

This week's Relay, written by @bigcat, highlights what Maker's Core Units and teams have been doing to ensure the protocol continues to operate smoothly in the wake of the successful Ethereum Merge.

> [**Onestone Delegate Platform**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/onestone-delegate-platform/17854)

@TRUEMAKER has released his Recognized Delegate Platform, Onestone. His primary objective as a Delegate are be to advocate for growth initiatives that will boost DAI adoption and increase MKR value.

Core values include:
* **Growth**, as mentioned
* Developing products to stabilize **revenue**
* Taking a **data-driven** approach to testing new features and products
* Collaborating in an **unbiased** way with other MakerDAO contributors

@TRUEMAKER represented Onestone in yesterday's Meet Your Delegate #19 [**call**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/meet-your-delegate-19-onestone-w-truemaker/17858).

> [**Executive Inclusion: GRO-001 MKR Vesting Stream Clean-Up**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/executive-inclusion-gro-001-mkr-vesting-stream-clean-up/17820)

In order to avoid the Growth Core Unit being able to claim an extra 63.18 MKR over and above the 803 MKR approved as the team's maximum MKR budget, the CU was advised to redirect their MKR stream to the [**Maker Pause Proxy**](https://etherscan.io/address/0xbe8e3e3618f7474f8cb1d074a26affef007e98fb), making the extra MKR unclaimable.

To make this change visible in decentralized front ends that track MKR movement, such as [**Makerburn**](https://makerburn.com/#/), the next Executive Vote will include logic to `vest` the remaining MKR from the stream to make the actual MKR situation detectable by such tools.

> [**Endgame RFC DVC Calls**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/endgame-rfc-dvc-calls/17773)

Recognized Delegate @twblack88 spearheaded the creation of an open call to help guide Decentralized Voter Committee (DVC) calls toward producing actionable feedback.

The first call reached a peak attendance of sixteen participants. While the call was not recorded so that participants could speak more freely, actionable feedback was gathered and posted in the appropriate threads ([**Endgame v3**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/endgame-plan-v3-complete-overview/17427), the [**clustering MIP**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/mip83-recognized-launch-metadao-clusters/17709), [**POVE**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/mip84-activate-protocol-owned-vault-emulation/17713), and the offboarding MIPs ([**Events**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/mip39c3-sp4-offboarding-the-events-core-unit-events-001/17755/2)) and ([**SH**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/mip39c3-sp3-offboarding-the-strategic-happiness-core-unit-sh-001/17754))).

The next call will be held at 3 pm UTC on Friday, September 16th. Keep an eye on the [**forum thread**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/endgame-rfc-dvc-calls/17773/7) for details.

> [**Overview of RWA-related SPFs and Funding Requests**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/overview-of-rwa-related-spfs-and-funding-requests/17814)

@adcv of the Strategic Finance Core Unit posted a table of the CU's Special Purpose Funds (SPFs) for Real-World Asset (RWA) initiatives. The table gathers basic data—disbursements, relevant forum threads, governance status, author, purpose, and work status—in one easily referenced forum post.

## Active Discussions

> [**Discussion Bifuricate Maker - realistic path forward or impossible path?!**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/discussion-bifuricate-maker-realistic-path-forward-or-impossible-path/17797)

> The idea that Maker and DAI somehow are going to fly its pirate flag under the radar of nation states is hopeful at best and \[and\] existential risk for everyone associated at worst.

In this post, @MakerMan shares his thoughts on splitting MakerDAO into two separate but related entities:

1. MakerC and DAIC, where "C" stands for "seeking to be regulatory **c**ompliant worldwide": This entity would be "homed in a friendly jurisdiction," where it would follow all relevant laws and regulations.
2. MakerP and DAIP, where "P" stands "pirate": This entity would stick to the original Maker vision of full permissionlessness and decentralization.

@MakerMan sees this bifurcation as the only way to protect MakerDAO contributors from potential offensives from nation states that view decentralized protocols as violating their regulatory frameworks.

> [**LFWs Endgame Commentary**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/lfws-endgame-commentary/17907)

@LongForWisdom added another entry to his [**ongoing work**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/endgame-index-list/16021) summarizing and commenting on @rune's Endgame Plan.

This document aims to:
* Surface potential risks associated with the Endgame Plan that may have been overlooked
* Suggest changes designed to avoid Maker getting locked into processes that don't work
* Propose simplifications

Specifically, LFW ties these concerns into discussions around MetaDAOs, organizational complexity, expenses, profitability, having a retreat plan, the importance of buy-in among the decentralized workforce, and others.

The post concludes with a call to develop an atomic approach to Endgame implementation, suggesting that a vote to commit to an Endgame plan at this early stage may be premature.

> [**Endgame Metanomics diagrams**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/endgame-metanomics-diagrams/17870)

@rune shared his work so far on a series of diagrams explaining Endgame "Metanomics" and the broader economic and governance equilibrium of the Endgame state.

For now, the diagrams assume a base level of knowledge about the Endgame Plan (Stances and MetaDAO classes specifically), but future iterations will include a full introduction to all prerequisite concepts and ideas.

## Seeking Consensus

‘Yo, do you even signal?’

> [**Create a Multisig to manage the $VELO veNFT**](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/signal-request-create-a-multisig-to-manage-the-velo-venft/17777)

A poll to [Manage Velodrome Airdrops and veNFT](https://vote.makerdao.com/polling/QmQD5mao#poll-detail) passed on June 16, 2022. Aes from Strategic Finance met with Brianmcmichael from PE as well as the Velodrome Finance team to understand the best way for us to manage veNFT in a decentralized way; A multi-sig was determined to be the best solution for managing the airdrop.

Aes requests four trusted community members to volunteer as signers for a MIP47 compliant multi-sig to vote MakerDAO’s veNFT on Velodrome Finance.

##### **Signal Expires on September 21st**
