Rune, the anonymous co-founder of Sky (formerly Maker), presented plans for integrating Sky into the Solana $219 network at the Solana 2024 Breakpoint Conference. He indicated that a proposal is being prepared to bring this project to fruition, which includes transferring Sky, USDS, and sUSDS tokens to Solana via the Wormhole bridge. The plan also features a weekly incentive program allocating 2 million SKY tokens to Solana’s DeFi protocols.
Sky, USDS, and sUSDS Are Coming to Solana
Sky aims to expand within the Solana network. As part of this expansion, not only will the Sky token be bridged, but USDS and sUSDS tokens will also be transferred to Solana using Wormhole.
Wormhole serves as a bridge between networks like Ethereum $3,210, BNB Chain, and Polygon, enabling users to transfer tokens across different networks. With Sky’s arrival on Solana, special incentives and integrations are also planned for the network.
To promote the integration of USDS and SKY within Solana’s DeFi ecosystem, 2 million SKY tokens will be distributed weekly to relevant protocols. This initiative aims to increase the usage of SKY and USDS on the Solana network and strengthen inter-protocol collaborations. The proposed incentive program will be attractive to both liquidity providers and users engaging in borrowing and lending activities.
A Fresh Breeze for the Solana DeFi Ecosystem
Sky’s participation in the Solana network is expected to give new momentum to the DeFi ecosystem. The ability to use USDS and sUSDS tokens on Solana will facilitate stablecoin-based transactions and offer more options to users. Particularly, USDS stands out as a stable asset in DeFi protocols due to its fixed value, and sUSDS will further strengthen this stability.
Solana is notable for its rapidly growing DeFi ecosystem. The inclusion of Sky may enhance the network’s appeal and contribute to the development of DeFi protocols. There is great anticipation surrounding the acceptance of Rune’s proposal presented at the Breakpoint Conference.
