Skycoin (SKY) is the governance token of Sky Protocol, a decentralised finance ecosystem built on the Ethereum blockchain. Sky Protocol is the rebranded evolution of MakerDAO, one of the longest-running names in DeFi, and SKY is the successor to that project's original governance token, MKR. Holders of SKY can take part in governing the protocol, helping decide on parameters, upgrades, and the wider direction of the ecosystem. At the centre of Sky Protocol is USDS, a stablecoin designed to track the value of the US dollar and the successor to DAI. Users can supply USDS to earn rewards through the Sky Savings Rate, a non-custodial mechanism that lets them keep full control of their funds rather than handing them to a third party. As an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, SKY and the USDS stablecoin work together as the governance and stable-value layers of the Sky ecosystem.
