Sky, a decentralized finance (DeFi) lending and borrowing protocol formerly known as Maker, has launched its USDS stablecoin on the Solana blockchain.
The implementation of USDS on Solana is made possible through Wormhole’s Native Token Transfer, allowing the stablecoin to operate as a natively multichain asset on both Solana and Ethereum.
Solana's rapid processing speed, low transaction fees, and potential for large-scale adoption have attracted stablecoin issuers like Sky and PayPal’s PYUSD.
Sky plans to introduce its SkyLink cross-chain bridge for USDS and sUSDS, pending governance approval, and is offering rewards to early adopters and liquidity providers on various DeFi protocols.
