【MakerDAO Founder Hopes MKR Holders Vote on Sky Brand and Make a 'Firm Decision'】On November 5, news emerged that MKR token holders are currently voting to assess their opinion on whether MakerDAO should 'reposition' the Maker brand and abandon the new name 'Sky' adopted in August. This non-binding vote currently shows that token holders support retaining the Sky brand, although participation is quite limited at the moment. MakerDAO founder Rune Christensen remained neutral on the branding issue in an interview but urged the community to resolve the branding dispute and refocus on growth. He stated, 'The most important thing is to make a decision and focus on the important matters, which are the products.' Christensen emphasized that changing the name to Sky is not just superficial; 'it's far more than just renaming' and is part of Maker's 'endgame strategy,' which has launched new products like the USDS stablecoin. Christensen noted that one way to track the success of this stablecoin is to observe the proportion of USDS that is idle and not earning rewards. Among the more than $1 billion in circulation, although the amount is small, it is noteworthy that a portion is not earning rewards—indicating it is held by real humans rather than bots, as this idling behavior indicates genuine usage, since real users treat USDS as cash, holding it temporarily without pursuing maximum returns. However, despite this move still being viewed as successful and the launch of the USDS stablecoin exceeding expectations, Christensen also acknowledged that the rebranding of Sky faced challenges that impacted community perception and market confidence. This round of voting will last until November 7. The next step will be a binding governance vote.
