Aave Labs Partners with Sky to Launch Sky Aave Force Initiative

Aave Labs, in collaboration with Sky (formerly MakerDAO), has launched the Sky Aave Force initiative, aiming to boost decentralized finance (DeFi) adoption and bridge the gap between DeFi and traditional finance (TradFi).

Conceived by Sky and Aave Labs’ founders Rune Christensen and Stani Kulechov, this initiative seeks to connect both financial systems, making them more accessible and robust.

Bridging DeFi and Traditional Finance

The Sky Aave Force initiative arrives at a pivotal moment for DeFi. As these protocols have matured, they have demonstrated considerable resilience and market fit, establishing themselves as strong alternatives to traditional financial systems.

Kulechov emphasized DeFi’s potential to reshape global finance by offering wider access and fostering innovation. He stated, “DeFi can empower all of finance,” reflecting the industry’s transition from a niche market to a core part of the financial sector.”

New Initiatives to Drive DeFi Growth

One of the key proposals of Sky Aave Force is the integration of USDS and Savings USDS (sUSDS) on Aave V3. This move aims to attract users by providing native token rewards, increasing liquidity, and encouraging more participation in these stablecoin markets on Aave. Additionally, a new market will be created in partnership with Spark.Fi, designed to offer smooth user experiences and exclusive rewards, further encouraging the use of DeFi solutions.

Sky Aave Force also plans to introduce an incentive program for sUSDS suppliers on the Aave V3 Main Market. This program will offer a pre-farming airdrop incentive, distributing 3.33 million SPK tokens monthly, which is 50% of the SparkLend rewards. The goal is to enhance the efficiency of capital use by utilizing sUSDS as a primary asset, with idle supplies continuously earning the Sky Savings Rate (SSR). This strategy aims to outperform other stablecoins like USDC and USDT, making sUSDS more attractive to users and drawing new borrowers to the platform.

Enhancing Liquidity through New Integrations

Another significant proposal involves deploying a Direct Deposit Module (D3M) for USDS into the Aave Lido Market, with an initial debt limit of $100 million. This initiative aims to boost the liquidity of USDS and wstETH by injecting substantial funds into Aave’s stETH market. The debt limit can be adjusted based on demand, supporting the growth and scalability of the DeFi ecosystem.

The Sky Aave Force initiative represents a joint effort by Aave Labs and Sky to integrate DeFi more deeply into mainstream finance. With Aave as the largest lending platform in DeFi, holding over $11 billion in total value locked (TVL) across various chains, this partnership aims to find new synergies and drive innovation. The planned launch of USDS and sUSDS tokens on September 18th marks a crucial step toward building a more connected and inclusive financial system.
