Sky co-founder proposes no new emissions for core token

Rune Christensen proposed a deflationary model for Sky, halting token emissions and aligning with MakerDAO’s original supply reduction vision.

Rune Christensen, the co-founder of Sky (formerly MakerDAO), said he is preparing a proposal for “strictly deflationary tokenomics” to halt token emissions and decrease total supply.

Christensen aims to prevent token emissions from occurring “in normal conditions” regardless of whether the core token stays as Maker (MKR) or becomes SKY in line with the new brand.

The new token structure would ensure that the chosen token is supported by long-term supply reduction and a burn mechanism, aligning with MakerDAO’s original tokenomics model.

Aave has reduced its loan-to-value requirements for DAI after MakerDAO’s stablecoin gained indirect exposure to Ethena’s USDe.
