However, the [Global Debt Ceiling (`Line`)](https://manual.makerdao.com/parameter-index/core/param-global-debt-ceiling) will not be reduced at the same time. This is to leave a suitable buffer to prevent a situation where the total Dai supply exceeds the Global Debt Ceiling, which would prevent new Dai from being minted. ### MKR Vesting Transfers The following MKR vesting transfers will be made, if this executive proposal passes: #### Sidestream Core Unit As per their [approved budget](https://mips.makerdao.com/mips/details/MIP40c3SP44), **348.28 MKR** will be transferred to the Sidestream Auditor Wallet at [0xb1f950a51516a697E103aaa69E152d839182f6Fe](https://etherscan.io/address/0xb1f950a51516a697E103aaa69E152d839182f6Fe). *Note:* the distributed amount has differed from the initial estimate due to Sidestream [repricing](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/mip40c3-sp44-adding-sidestream-auction-services-core-unit-mkr-budget-sas-001/10802/7) their vesting plan. It remains within the overall approved cap. #### DUX Core Unit As per their [approved budget](https://mips.makerdao.com/mips/details/MIP40c3SP27), **225.12 MKR** will be transferred to the DUX Auditor Wallet at [0x5A994D8428CCEbCC153863CCdA9D2Be6352f89ad](https://etherscan.io/address/0x5A994D8428CCEbCC153863CCdA9D2Be6352f89ad). *Note:* the distributed amount has differed from the initial estimate due to additional hires. It remains within the overall approved cap. ### Spark Protocol [Dai Direct Deposit Module](https://manual.makerdao.com/module-index/module-dai-direct-deposit) (D3M) Parameter Changes As per [this poll](https://vote.makerdao.com/polling/QmWatYqy), the following Spark Protocol D3M parameter changes will be made, if this executive proposal passes: - Increase the [Maximum Debt Ceiling (`line`)](https://manual.makerdao.com/module-index/module-dciam#maximum-debt-ceiling-line) by 15 million DAI from 5 million DAI to **20 million DAI**. - Increase the [Target Availible Debt (`gap`)](https://manual.makerdao.com/module-index/module-dciam#target-available-debt-gap) by 15 million DAI from 5 million DAI to **20 million DAI**. ### Spark Protocol Proxy (`SUBPROXY_SPARK`) Authorization As per [this poll](https://vote.makerdao.com/polling/Qmc9fd3j), a Spark Protocol Proxy will be authorized by this spell to allow parallel production of executive proposals covering Spark Protocol. This will allow the Spark Protocol team to prepare code separately, but any changes will not be active until triggered by a Maker Core executive proposal. If passed this executive proposal will: - Give the Spark Proxy admin access on Spark Protocol. - Add the Spark Proxy to the [Emergency Shutdown Module](https://docs.makerdao.com/smart-contract-modules/shutdown/emergency-shutdown-module). - Trigger the Spark Proxy spell actions listed below. *Technical implementation note:* The Spark Proxy will be given admin access by calling `ACLManagerLike(SPARK_ACL_MANAGER).addPoolAdmin(SPARK_PROXY)`. The Spark ACL Manager address is [0xdA135Cd78A086025BcdC87B038a1C462032b510C](https://etherscan.io/address/0xdA135Cd78A086025BcdC87B038a1C462032b510C) and the Spark Proxy address is [0x3300f198988e4C9C63F75dF86De36421f06af8c4](https://etherscan.io/address/0x3300f198988e4C9C63F75dF86De36421f06af8c4).
