Sky (formerly MakerDAO)

Sky is the current brand identity of MakerDAO / the Maker Protocol, a decentralized finance (DeFi) system best known for issuing the U.S. dollar–pegged stablecoin DAI and for on-chain governance originally conducted via the MKR token. In August 2024, MakerDAO announced a rebrand to Sky, alongside optional “upgraded” token versions: USDS (an upgraded stablecoin) and SKY (an upgraded governance token). (theblock.co)

Overview

• Type: Decentralized finance protocol / DAO (decentralized autonomous organization)
• Primary functions: Collateral-backed stablecoin issuance and lending/borrowing mechanisms; protocol parameters and risk management governed on-chain. (coindesk.com)
• Key assets (branding transition):
  • DAI ↔ USDS: designed to be convertible at 1:1 via a dedicated converter. (developers.sky.money)
  • MKR → SKY: introduced as the next-generation governance token in the Sky ecosystem (with a widely reported conversion ratio of 1 MKR : 24,000 SKY as part of the upgrade path). (theblock.co)

Naming and social-media identity

During the rebrand period, reporting indicated that MakerDAO’s former handle on X (Twitter) was temporarily lost to another user, creating potential for confusion and impersonation risk; as a result, users are typically advised to verify official accounts carefully. (theblock.co)
