# G&R #139 Snippet

Domain team updates, Collateral Onboarding, active discussions and more. All the updates from MakerDAO Governance and Risk Call #139 in this `snippet`

## Team Updates

### GovAlpha

- [Forum at a Glance](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/forum-at-a-glance-april-23-29/7728)

### Protocol Engineering

- Newly ratified Protocol Engineering Core Unit! Yay!🎉
- Will start hosting office hours with Protocol Engineering team on Tuesdays, open to all.
- Liquidations 2.0 executive in Kovan with all three ETH collateral types.
- Haven't seen anyone utilize Flash Lending capability in Liquidations 2.0, yet.
- Looking to get more participation from Keepers, [have some guides out](https://github.com/makerdao/auction-demo-keeper)

### Oracles

- Getting ready to post Oracle Core Unit Proposal.
- Going to be redeploying all existing UNI-LP Oracles, have been optimized to save gas costs and will be rolled out over the next few weeks
- A Dark Feed "Offboarding" will be on tomorrow's executive, as well as adding DeFi saver as a Light Feed (depending on gas cost/size in the exec)
- New pricing tool `Gopher` is incoming. Gopher constantly pings data sources for all the price feeds available, rather than fetching all pricing data for a particular asset every time it is needed.
- Other tool will be put into production, called `Spire` that enables another P2P solution to back up the Oracle system.
- More tolling will be revealed with the Oracle Core Unit proposal.

### Real World Finance

- New Silver Vault (RWA-002) has pulled 500,000 DAI.
- Will be meeting to discuss concentration of Florida assets in New Silver portfolio.
- Looking to onboard up to four Centrifuge Assets.
- 6s released new documents, still making process on legal issues
- Have been talking about regulations and getting legal firm to audit New Silver Deal.
- Surpassed 10M in monthly revenue 🎉

### Risk

- Preparing to release parameters for the remaining vault types, starting with the 10 remaining non-UNI-LP Vault Types, which will come the following week.
- Looking to lower KNC Debt Ceiling to 0, following announcement that the project is moving to a new token.
- Preparing for new set of collateral applications, with Sushi-LP tokens next in line.
- Did some analysis on ETH-B liquidations from yesterday. Over $16M of ETH was liquidated, netting over 2M DAI in revenue for the protocol with really healthy bids.
- Auctions settled on average 4% below market price across 300+ auctions
- Isn't a huge amount of Keepers for `flap` auctions, looking to increase participation.
