## Working Groups

### Vault Compensation Analysis Team

The group is still looking for more solutions and feedback. @makerman condensed the proposal into three [practical poll parameters](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/maker-vault-compensation-updates-and-status/2583/145):

1. Should compensation group continue to work on this issue?
1a. Will governance put up an ongoing bounty for work on this?
1. Allocate Compensation for BT victims: 0M, 1M, 2M, 3M, 4M, 5M DAI.
1. Does MKR want to proceed with any plan and how much funding will it allocate toward a solution?

## State of the Peg


- DAI peg has come down from recent highs of $1.02.


- $283 million total Dai.
- ETH-A vaults are at 99% utility and the debt ceiling raise is hoping to add breathing room.


- Volume at around $141 million this last week.
- Average 7 day VWAP price places Dai at $1.019


- Past 24 hours VWAP is $1.011 with $22 million in volume.
