# Maker Relay 23


_Hey everyone, thanks for checking out Maker Relay!_

Whether you hold MKR or DAI, own a vault, or want to get more involved in MakerDAO governance, this is your one-stop-shop for updates on the MakerDAO ecosystem.

Due to the American Thanksgiving last week, there was no Governance and Risk call last week. There are still updates from last weeks polls/executive votes, as well as an update on the [DssGov Smart Contract Redesign.](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/mip26-dssgov-governance-contract-redesign/4589)

## Votes

Check our [Governance Tools Resource](https://community-development.makerdao.com/governance/governance-tools) for links to system status, Dai stability, and collateral/liquidations, protocol analytics, auctions, and some of the history of governance.

### Governance Polls

*Some polls use [instant run-off voting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked_voting), so you can select multiple options and ranked-choices will be prioritized.*

## Current Events

### DsChief 1.2 Updates

- The Governance Portal development team is pushing back the release of the Chief 1.2 executive vote to **Wednesday December 2**
- This is due to some additional UI and testing work that is required.
- Due to the 72hr delay, the proposal should be executed for migration on or around Dec 7 (if approved by the governance community).
- [Forum Discussion about DsChief 1.2](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/dschief-1-2-flash-loan-protection-for-maker-governance/5115)

## State of the Peg


- DAI peg spiked on the 26th of November, but quickly restored back to normal. Sitting at just above a dollar, 1.004.


- Dai supply above a billion still.
- 402 million from ETH-A
- 9.9 million from ETH-B
- 2.9 million from BAT
- 403 million from USDC-A
- 124 million from WBTC
- 51 million from TUSD
- 20 million from PAX-A
- 5.6 million from LINK
- 20 million from YFI


- Other collateral types at 1.275 million.


- Volume at around $459 million this last week.
- Average VWAP (Volume-Weighted-Average-Price) places Dai at $1.02 mostly due to the excessive volume out of peg on the 26th.


- When number go up, ETH vaults collateralization ratio go up. This pattern of collateralization follows across almost all vaults.


- ETH B's collateralization ratio is 130% so there is a tad more risk in those vaults.


- Liquidation Walls at $416 ETH.


- For ETH-B the wall climbs at around $429 ETH.


- LINK vaults are quite diverse, breaking the trend of "three large vaults dominating most collaterals."
