Verdict

Sky (MakerDAO)

SKY — Governance Rights Report
Tier 1 S1 — Token-Governed Protocol Assessment as of 2026-10-01
GSA-1 pass GSA-2 near-miss GSA-3 pass GSA-4 fail GSA-5 near-miss GSA-6 fail GSA-7 fail GSA-8 fail

Why this rating: SKY is now the sole governance token (MKR deprecated; holders directed to upgrade). On-chain executive votes via the Chief contract (vote.sky.money) give SKY holders treasury control, and the Smart Burn Engine is a live contract that routes surplus USDS/DAI into SKY buybacks ($114.5M repurchasing 1.83B SKY as of Mar 2026) plus stSKY staking rewards — a hard economic right, though Atlas-governed (configurable via executive vote). GSA-3 pass with conditionality flag: Smart Burn Engine is contract-executed and actively running, but funding/params are set by Atlas ruleset via executive vote — strong-but-not-constitutional economic right (analogous to Curve's fee distributor); GSA-1 pass with flag: SKY holders control treasury via on-chain executive votes, but Aligned Delegate concentration is severe (top delegate ~44.58%) and Atlas is a governance-constitution layer

Metrics

Curated metric — next quarterly update. On-chain revenue, treasury, and distribution-enforcement reads are not yet wired for this DAO's space in the Institute's state files; the quarterly re-assessment cycle will populate this block.
