Sky, formerly Maker, launches USDS stablecoin on Solana

Sky is offering $500,000 in USDS rewards for early adopters and stablecoin liquidity providers.

Decentralized finance lending and borrowing protocol Sky, formerly known as Maker, has deployed its USDS stablecoin on Solana in an effort to tap into the blockchain’s growing decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. 

Sky said in a Nov. 19 X post that its USDS was “the first major DeFi-native stablecoin on Solana” and would allow new ways for lending, borrowing, and trading across Solana’s “top DeFi platforms.”

“Today’s launch marks the first step in Sky’s strategy to increase Solana’s DeFi liquidity and [total value locked],” it added. Sky said in the future, pending governance approval, it would roll out its SkyLink crosschain bridge for USDS and sUSDS, its “savings” version of the stablecoin.

Sky co-founder proposes no new emissions for core token

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.
