If the Sky brand wins, MakerDAO plans to migrate the entire MKR ecosystem into SKY, rebranding MKR tokens as Wrapped 24k Sky Tokens (SKY24K).<\/p>\n<p>This transition aims to prevent confusion about legacy MKR tokens and avoid requiring holders to make any changes to their existing positions. The switch would simplify integration, enabling MKR holders to access Seal Engine features and governance without complications.<\/p>\n<p>In the event that the Maker brand prevails, Sky would shift into an auxiliary role as a \u201cStar,\u201d promoting adoption in a way complementary to Spark, which primarily drives collateral and borrowing activity. Under this structure, Sky's token would be renamed OLD_SKY, convertible back to MKR at a fixed rate of 1:24000, or, for a limited time, exchanged 1:1 for tokens governing the Sky Star.<\/p>\n<h2>Dual-Star system<\/h2>\n<p>Christensen's proposal envisions Spark and Sky as complementary &#8220;Stars&#8221; within Maker's ecosystem, targeting both the supply and demand sides.<\/p>\n<p>While Spark would focus on collateral allocation and borrowing incentives, Sky would concentrate on building adoption through USDS utilization. Sky would also control the Sky.money platform and operate with an Accessibility Reward system, providing incentives for projects that increase USDS adoption.<\/p>\n<p>In its initial phases, Sky will have exclusive access to the Accessibility Reward system, while Spark will hold exclusive rights to Maker's Allocation System. This temporary distinction aims to streamline each Star's focus as the ecosystem grows.<\/p>\n<p>The final vote on this proposal will take place from Nov. 11 to Nov. 14, with additional details to be released in the coming days. MakerDAO is positioned to strengthen its foundational structures, either with a renewed Maker brand or a streamlined Sky transition, fostering sustainable growth through expanded USDS and a more engaged, incentivized community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rune Christensen, founder of Sky (formerly MakerDAO), has proposed a strictly deflationary approach to the protocol&#8217;s governance token as the community prepares to vote on whether to revert its brand or not on Nov. 11.
