MakerDAO enacts Sky governance changes in 2-year Endgame transition

MakerDAO enacted governance changes to the Sky protocol on July 22, advancing the Endgame restructuring plan that includes converting MKR tokens to SKY at a 1:24,000 ratio.

"The governance changes create clearer, more focused leadership around the priorities that matter most for the Endgame transition," Rune Christensen, founder of MakerDAO, said in a statement. "These changes will help us move quickly and enhance innovation as we build toward the future."

The restructuring introduces a new organizational framework for the Sky protocol, with Andrew Kalb named chief operating officer overseeing business operations and Sarah Foss joining as chief transformation officer to drive key initiatives. Clayton Nix was elevated to chief financial officer after holding senior financial roles at Cox Media Group and iHeartRadio.

The Endgame transition represents a structural overhaul of one of decentralized finance's foundational protocols. MakerDAO's Dai stablecoin, the largest decentralized stablecoin by market capitalization, and the newer Sky protocol will operate under the revised governance structure. The changes could affect borrowing rates, collateral types, and the broader DeFi lending market as the protocol shifts from MKR to SKY tokenomics. Token holders face a governance vote on the next phase of the transition, scheduled for the third quarter.
