About Sky Dollar

Sky Dollar (USDS) is the upgraded stablecoin from the Sky ecosystem, formerly MakerDAO. It is the successor to DAI and is part of the broader Sky Protocol rebranding. USDS is minted through the same overcollateralised vault system as DAI and can be freely converted 1:1 with DAI. The Sky ecosystem introduced the Sky Savings Rate (SSR) for USDS holders and the SKY governance token as part of its evolution from the Maker Protocol. USDS aims to be more accessible and user-friendly while maintaining the decentralised, overcollateralised model.
