## Team-led Discussions
### Real-world Sandbox
#### Luca Prosperi






### D3M Overview
#### SamM

- This graphic illustrates how the D3M works.
- If the total market size is 90M and 80M borrowed with 10M available in actual DAI.
- This is a utilization of 89%, which is higher than the 80% optimal range.
- Not optimal for users.
- The D3M will return the utilization down to 80%.
- Leaves more DAI available within the pool.
- Same situation if the event is inversed; D3M will return utilization up to 80% if below that threshold.
- 50M DC is the next step concerning parameter upgrades.
### Wintermute Re-Discussion
#### Andrew Burban
- Why you hatin’ on Wintermute??
- Look, they want to partner with us. They aren’t concerned about the strike price.
- If you want metrics, they shall provide.
- On another note, MKR has very thin order books; very difficult to scale in and out.
- Burbanomics analysis says this is a good deal.
- MKR pump plz.
- Seriously, we need a liquid MKR market in the potential case of an insolvency crisis.
