Maker Protocol 更名为 Sky，推出新的稳定币 USDS 和治理代币 SKY

在最近有关去中心化金融（或 DeFi）的消息中，Maker Protocol 宣布将更名为 Sky，并推出了新的稳定币 USDS 以及名为 SKY 的新治理代币。

Decentralized finance (DeFi) platform Maker Protocol has announced a major rebranding, changing its name to Sky and introducing a new stablecoin, USDS, and governance token, SKY.

去中心化金融 (DeFi) 平台 Maker Protocol 宣布进行重大品牌重塑，更名为 Sky，并推出新的稳定币 USDS 和治理代币 SKY。

This move is part of an effort to expand the reach of DeFi and make it more accessible to a broader audience.

此举是扩大 DeFi 影响范围并让更广泛的受众更容易接触到的努力的一部分。

Maker, known for its long-standing role in DeFi lending, is now shifting its focus with this renaming of its service.

Maker 以其在 DeFi 借贷领域的长期作用而闻名，现在通过重新命名其服务来转移其重点。

The launch of USDS, which replaces the widely recognized Dai (DAI), and the introduction of the SKY token serve as stepping stones in this transition towards increased utility and adoption.

USDS 的推出（取代了广泛认可的 Dai (DAI)）以及 SKY 代币的推出，成为向提高实用性和采用率过渡的垫脚石。

Within the Sky realm, the SKY token becomes the primary instrument of governance, evolving from the Maker token in the previous iteration.

在 Sky 领域内，SKY 代币成为主要的治理工具，从上一次迭代中的 Maker 代币演变而来。

Rune Christensen, co-founder of MakerDAO, describes the rebranding as "the next step for de-fi," highlighting the simplification of the user interface to enhance comprehension by the general public.

MakerDAO 联合创始人 Rune Christensen 将品牌重塑描述为“de-fi 的下一步”，强调用户界面的简化以增强公众的理解。

This strategic initiative aims to lower the barriers of entry for potential users who might otherwise be deterred from engaging with DeFi protocols due to their perceived complexity.

这一战略举措旨在降低潜在用户的进入门槛，否则这些用户可能会因其复杂性而不敢参与 DeFi 协议。

Moreover, the Sky rebranding brings forth new features like Sky Token Rewards (STRs) and the Sky Savings Rate (SSR), which aim to enhance the overall user experience within the ecosystem.

此外，Sky 品牌重塑带来了 Sky 代币奖励（STR）和 Sky Savings Rate（SSR）等新功能，旨在增强生态系统内的整体用户体验。

These features are designed to provide users with additional benefits, further incentivizing participation in the Sky ecosystem.

这些功能旨在为用户提供额外的好处，进一步激励用户参与 Sky 生态系统。

Significantly, the rebranding effort also includes an upgrade process where MKR tokens will be converted to SKY tokens at a rate of 1:24,000.

值得注意的是，品牌重塑工作还包括升级过程，MKR 代币将以 1:24,000 的比率转换为 SKY 代币。

This change is expected to increase accessibility and improve the overall user experience by offering a larger supply of the SKY token.

这一变化预计将通过提供更多的 SKY 代币来提高可访问性并改善整体用户体验。

As part of the rebranding, Maker SubDAOs will be renamed to Sky Stars. These independent, decentralized projects will retain their autonomy while being connected to the Sky ecosystem through unique business models.

作为品牌重塑的一部分，Maker SubDAO 将更名为 Sky Stars。这些独立、去中心化的项目将保留其自主权，同时通过独特的商业模式连接到 Sky 生态系统。

Spark, the first subDAO to transition, offers users a 6% yield for depositing DAI tokens and enables borrowing of USDS at a 7% interest rate.

Spark 是第一个转型的 subDAO，为用户存入 DAI 代币提供 6% 的收益率，并以 7% 的利率借入 USDS。

The rebranding of Maker Protocol to Sky marks a new chapter in the DeFi landscape. With its focus on ease of access and new features, the Sky ecosystem aims to attract a wider range of users, signaling a new phase of growth for decentralized finance.

Maker Protocol 更名为 Sky，标志着 DeFi 领域翻开了新的篇章。 Sky 生态系统注重易用性和新功能，旨在吸引更广泛的用户，标志着去中心化金融进入了新的增长阶段。
