I was thinking about these changes... > almost no way to spin it nicely for $SKY holders now > a hard but needed change to ensure some sustainability in the form of a solvency reserve > despite token transparency framework which could be the norm, the solvency reserve should also be included in it Basically how I see it → short-term pain, long-term gain.

So @SkyEcosystem cut token buybacks from 75% to 7.5% ‣ No regulator forced this ‣ No exploit triggered it The protocol looked at $407M in annualized fees and decided to build a balance sheet instead of distributing it and that's the first DeFi protocol publicly choosing to be a bank instead of a token project. Token holder net income collapsed from $20.60M to $1.16M in one quarter. The income statement tells the story clearly: ➥ Q1 2026 buybacks: $20.60M ➥ Q2 2026 so far: $1.16M So where's the money going? A $150M solvency reserve. Currently at $50.9M. At $5.7B in TVL that's roughly 0.9% coverage. Banks hold 4.5-7% minimum. Sky isn't close to bank-grade yet but it's the first DeFi protocol to acknowledge that zero reserves isn't decentralization. It's a liability dressed up as capital efficiency. If you hold $SKY and this frustrates you, I get it. You bought a governance token expecting buybacks to support the price. Instead the protocol is saving the money you thought was yours. But the protocols th

"Sky has a lot of financial primitives, building blocks for different financial use cases." @RuneKek on @therollupco with @andyyy on how https://t.co/EujfOr3WNi enables multiple yield products across the capital stack, from sUSDS optimized for risk-adjusted returns to higher-yield strategies for risk-tolerant capital.

$SKY is consolidating between an upward support and major resistance zone. Clean break or rejection here should dictate next move. Volume will be crucial. DYOR, NFA #SKY #SKYUSDT https://t.co/1rqaef43hE

Rune has codified Sky economics. This creates an immutable guarantee for Sky holders with rulebound expenses and a focus on returning profits to Sky holders via buybacks and USDS distributions. Irregular expenses are now finished. The best way to think about this post is it is a formalization of the ad-hoc buyback and staking programs (that were up to $1M/day last year) for the future. This is the culmination of many years of work of many core sky contributors. It will make what Sky is doing legible to the largest financial institutions on earth. Very important, and very bullish, step forward for Sky. Throw it into your favorite LLM with https://t.co/PLIt6ZoFqG hooked up! https://t.co/r9PVxEIv9k
