Gate News message, April 27 — Sky, the decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocol formerly known as MakerDAO, has proposed streamlining its Treasury Management Function (TMF) following the formal conclusion of its founding capital deployment phase. Founder Rune Christensen announced in a forum post that the transfer of Genesis Capital to Grove marks Sky’s permanent exit from the Genesis Capitalization phase, which had served as a bootstrap funding mechanism for seeding new agents during the expansion of the Sky Agent Network.
The proposal would simplify TMF from a five-step conditional waterfall into a four-step structure with fixed allocations across Security and Maintenance, Aggregate Backstop Capital, the Smart Burn Engine, and USDS Staking Rewards. The overhaul would also retire several legacy mechanisms, including the Net Revenue Ratio, phase-based distinctions, activity-based staking reward tiers, and Short Term Trading provisions. According to Christensen, the irregular governance-determined capital deployments of the founding period are now complete, replaced by rules-bound, predictable expenses capped as a fixed percentage of revenue.
The treasury restructuring comes as Sky experiences rapid growth. USDS supply has reached approximately $11.6 billion, making it the third-largest stablecoin. The Sky community authorized up to $2.5 billion for deployment through stablecoin incubator Obex earlier this year and launched native USDS on Avalanche via the SkyLink bridge in April.
S&P Global Ratings, which assigned Sky a “B-” issuer credit rating last year, has identified governance and capital position as key constraints for the protocol. The tightening of revenue allocation rules between security buffers, backstop capital, SKY buybacks, and staking rewards aligns with efforts to make Sky’s expense base more predictable.
