Thank you all for joining the weekly meeting. We have 20 participants on the call today.

Agenda items should be posted to forum.makerdao.com or in #meeting-agenda on Rocket Chat

Upon conclusion of the formal portion of the meeting, further topics will be discussed and debated.

Maker Core:

• General
  • Contracted Trail of Bits (ToB) to audit the rest of Dappsys, starting October 30th
  • Nikolai: Spoke with Rain and Rune about MKR stability fee changes. Will take another week to present a general solution where exact value flows can be configured at deploy time. We want to avoid a situation where everybody comes to their senses but we’ve engineered ourselves into a corner. We can debate options publicly once they are all available concretely in code, it is too messy otherwise.
• Governance
  • Prism (DRI: Ryepdx)
    • Scheduled for ToB audit #2
  • DSChief (DRI: nikolai)
    • Waiting on ToB audit #1
  • Token redeploy and auxiliary deployments (redeemer, burner, chief-auth, weth, etc)
    • Waiting on ToB audit #1 which covers ds-token
  • Bytecode multisig
    • No update
• Sai - Simplecoin (DRI: Rain)
  • Implemented 'fees'. CDP debt accrues unpaid fees over time. These fees are paid when CDP debt is wiped, proportional to the wiped amount.
  • Unpaid fees are denominated in Sai, and paid in MKR. The MKR is burned. A MKR price feed is used to determine the conversion.
  • Unlike the stability fee, this is a 'usage fee', and the unpaid amount does not form a part of the CDP debt.
  • The ‘usage fee’ can be adjusted.
  • Next step is working through the user interactions via the frontend.
  • New Berlin UX for SAI dashboard looks promising
  • To present at Devcon
• Keepers (DRI: Reverendus)
  • Designed the architecture for keeper monitoring: piping events from keepers to an Elasticsearch database and building
  • Kibana dashboards on top of it. Enhanced the keeper framework with ability to register events related to sending transactions, transactions getting confirmed, overriding gas price etc.
  • Improved configuration of the Oasis Market Maker keeper in preparation to foundation market making: parametrizable expressions, better validation.
  • Upgraded keeper dependencies. Some bug-hunting related to it.
  • Additional funding requested
• Feeds (DRI: mariano)
  • All but 1 feed down during recent network congestion, back to normal now
  • Update feed for Ethereum hard fork
