What is Sky (SKY)?
Sky (SKY) is the governance token of Sky Protocol, a decentralized finance (DeFi) system that launched in 2024 as a rebrand and upgrade of the original Maker Protocol. SKY functions like a digital voting share, giving users control over protocol changes while powering an ecosystem centered around USDS, a decentralized stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. Built on automated smart contracts, the protocol enables participants to trade, save, and earn rewards non-custodially without intermediaries.
Sky Protocol stands out because it operates without a single CEO or traditional core team of investors. Instead, it is managed entirely by a global community of SKY holders through decentralized onchain voting. Additionally, the ecosystem connects directly to cross-chain functionality through SkyLink, enabling faster and cheaper transactions across multiple blockchains, while offering deep stablecoin infrastructure built on a framework that has evolved since 2017.
The SKY token serves several core functions within Sky Protocol:
- Governance: It provides voting power to decide on system parameters, protocol upgrades, and changes via onchain votes.
- Staking: Holders can lock SKY in the protocol's Staking Engine to help secure the system and programmatically accrue variable staking rewards.
- Borrowing Liquidity: Staking SKY grants holders the ability to borrow the decentralized USDS stablecoin against their staked SKY positions.
Sky (SKY) was introduced in 2024 as part of the rebrand and upgrade of the Maker Protocol.
You can use the SKY token via non-custodial interfaces such as Sky.money to participate directly in the protocol. With SKY, you can:
- Cast votes: Exercise your voting rights on protocol proposals or delegate your voting power.
- Stake in the Staking Engine: Lock your SKY to earn variable staking rewards and support network security.
- Borrow USDS: Use your staked SKY as collateral to borrow the USDS stablecoin for liquidity.
Sky addresses the need for secure, efficient, and accessible decentralized financial tools. Traditional finance and centralized systems often require intermediaries that retain control over user funds. Sky Protocol solves this by using automated smart contracts that provide non-custodial access to stablecoin yield, seamless 1:1 conversions between USDC and USDS with zero fees or slippage via the Peg Stability Module (PSM), and cross-chain movement via SkyLink—enabling users to save, trade, and earn without sacrificing custody.
Sky utilizes a completely decentralized governance structure managed by SKY token holders. There is no executive leadership or central company dictating terms; instead, protocol rates, surplus allocations, and parameters are determined through decentralized onchain voting. SKY holders can either vote directly on proposals or participate in governance delegation.
