Two decentralized finance (DeFi) altcoins have abruptly gained support from the top US-based crypto exchange platform Coinbase.
In a new announcement, Coinbase says it’s adding Sky (SKY), formerly known as MakerDAO, as well as its associated stablecoin USDS (USDS), to its suite of digital asset products.
“Sky (SKY) and USDS (USDS) are now live on Coinbase.com and in the Coinbase iOS & Android apps. Coinbase customers can log in to buy, sell, convert, send, receive or store these assets.”
News of the additions had little impact on the tokens, as SKY is trading for $0.0836 at time of writing, a 3% gain during the last 24 hours, while USDS has remained pegged to the value of the US dollar.
According to the crypto analytics firm Messari, MakerDao first rebranded to Sky in August 2024, replacing its governance token MKR with SKY and its dollar-pegged digital asset DAI with USDS.
Messari says that the rebrand was a part of the development team’s “endgame” strategy, which is a plan to promote growth and accessibility within the DeFi ecosystem as well as create bridges to traditional finance.
“The rebranding is intended to appeal to a broader audience beyond the crypto-native community, signaling a shift towards traditional finance and potentially increasing adoption…
Overall, the rebranding to Sky is a strategic move within Maker’s Endgame Plan to enhance DeFi growth, accessibility, and resilience, although it faces challenges in community acceptance and brand identity.”Follow us on X, Facebook and Telegram

In a push towards decentralization, governance tokens have emerged as a cornerstone of many crypto projects, allowing token holders to stake and vote on protocol modifications. MKR is the governance token for MakerDAO, which plays a pivotal role in ensuring the efficiency, transparency, and stability of DAI, a decentralized, collateral-backed stablecoin.
What is MakerDAO
MakerDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that administers the DAI stablecoin through the Maker Protocol. This protocol enables the minting and management of DAI stablecoins while maintaining their peg to the US dollar using over-collateralization and other mechanisms. The primary responsibility of MKR holders is to vote on changes to the Maker Protocol, which directly impacts DAI. MKR's governance role ensures that the protocol adjusts and evolves in response to the market's demands and potential risks.
The Maker team
Maker was created in 2015 by Rune Christensen, a Denmark-based entrepreneur. He graduated from the Copenhagen University with a degree in biochemistry. He also studied international business at the local Copenhagen Business School. Before founding MakerDAO, he co-founded Try China, an international recruiting company.
How does MakerDAO work
MKR holders are at the heart of the MakerDAO system, actively participating in Executive Voting. Successful votes translate into changes within the protocol. For instance, these token holders set the DAI savings rate, directly impacting the incentives for those who stake DAI. Contributors are rewarded for their active involvement.
MKR tokenomics
MKR tokens, capped at 977,631 in supply, are central to the MakerDAO ecosystem. They empower holders with governance rights, allowing them to shape the system's direction. Beyond governance, MKR is crucial in maintaining DAI's stability, ensuring its value remains pegged and resilient to market fluctuations. Notably, in situations of undercollateralization, MKR is auctioned to cover the deficit.
Furthermore, MKR tokens are used to settle stability fees, which are essentially interest charges on DAI loans. These MKR tokens are subsequently burnt, gradually reducing their overall supply and adding an element of scarcity.

Maker FAQ
How is MKR different from DAI?
While both tokens are part of the MakerDAO ecosystem, MKR is a governance token, and its primary role is to oversee the protocol's operation and stability. In contrast, DAI is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, designed to maintain its value despite market volatility.
How is DAI's stability maintained?
DAI's stability is ensured through over-collateralization, liquidation processes, MKR governance, stability fees, and the DAI Savings Rate (DSR). Combined, these mechanisms help keep DAI's value close to $1.
