After the $USDH arc is all said and done, Hyperliquid will have:
1. Turned CT into a media frenzy in an incredible display of marketing
2. Had multiple teams fighting for their spot
3. Have $USDH go to the winner and immediately generates revenue
4. Teams that want to stick around and become a quote asset, now have to buy 200k worth of $HYPE to continue
Now imagine what happens if @ethena / @paxoslabs / @SkyEcosystem / @OpenEden_X all decide to honor their prior proposals and move forward with their commitments...
Stablecoin wars would start anew and likely drive more volume to the chain.
Impressive work by the @HyperliquidX team to drive momentum and fanfare on the timeline

USDH powered by Sky
The best stablecoin offers so much more than just a stable medium of exchange - it should also deliver highly efficient returns, generated by actively developing, building and growing the ecosystem it lives in.
By using Sky to power USDH, the Hyperliquid community will gain unbeatable advantages that no other stablecoin project can offer.
Sky, formerly known as MakerDAO, is the 4th largest stablecoin project in the world with more than 8 billion USDS in circulation, with 13 billion of highly diversified collateral. To see the high-level real-time overview of Sky and USDS, check out: info.sky.money
TL;DR of what Sky can offer Hyperliquid for USDH
* USDH will access 2.2 billion USDC instant liquidity for offchain redemption
* USDH will be natively multichain powered by LayerZero
* Sky will be able to deploy its 8b+ balance sheet into HyperLiquid
* Hyperliquid will receive 4.85% return on all USDH on Hyperliquid. This is a better rate than t-bills, backed by advanced risk management, and has potential to increase further.
* USDH will benefit from the 7+ year security track record and unbeatable Lindy of the Sky Protocol
* Sky can provide 25m in capital to create an independent Hyperliquid Star - a project that will autonomously grow DeFi on Hyperliquid, serving the needs of the Hyperliquid community, and will have tokens that are exclusively farmed on Hyperliquid, potentially bringing in billions in TVL
* To better understand Stars: Spark, which runs spark.fi, is the best example of a Star Token farm, and it currently has 1.2 billion TVL info.sky.money/rewards/0x173e…
* Sky can move its Buyback System on to Hyperliquid, using its more than 250m per year in profits to build SKY liquidity on Hyperliquid
* USDH will have deep transparency and verifiability of its collateral with info.sky.money
* USDH will benefit from the industry’s best risk management, built on models from the banking sector.
* USDH will be the only stablecoin in the world issued by a protocol with an official Credit Rating by S&P (alongside DAI and USDS).
* The Hyperliquid community will be able to customize USDH, e.g. to make it GENIUS Act compliant.
* Sky has immense research, development and builder capabilities and would prioritize the development and synergies possible with Hyperliquid as its top priority.
The team: Sky Frontier Foundation
The team behind this proposal that would work to implement the Sky Powered USDH is the recently established Sky Frontier Foundation. It contains top leadership and core developers from the Sky Ecosystem organized into a single entity for more efficient management and execution, and will directly work on, and prioritize, the implementation of USDH.
All the commitments and outcomes described in this proposal would be achieved by a combination of the SFF using its resources and capabilities, and also implemented through governance proposals to modify the decentralized Sky Protocol.
USDH implemented as Sky Stablecoin similar to DAI
USDH powered by Sky would be built as a token technically identical to DAI and USDS, the two major Stablecoin tokens that Sky currently governs, that together have a TVL of more than 8 billion and a security track record of more than 7 years. USDH would inherit all of this from the start.
USDH will have access to more than 2.2 billion in instant USDC liquidity, enabling large scale offchain redemptions at any time. Deep 1:1 liquidity with USDC would also make it easy and frictionless for users to shift to USDH-margined perpetuals contracts and USDH-quoted spot markets.
The 2.2 billion in instant USDC redemption liquidity is available through a system called the Peg Stability Module (PSM), and can be accessed by users on websites like spark.fi, sky.money, defisaver.com, swap.cow.fi and others. USDH will be natively integrated and work with the PSM alongside DAI and USDS everywhere.
USDH will be natively multichain, being able to bridge to and from any other blockchain via LayerZero. Having a secure, integrated bridge also means that Sky would be able to deploy its 8 billion+ collateral portfolio directly on to Hyperliquid with a low risk premium.
USDH will be able to natively convert to and from sUSDS, one of the largest yield-bearing assets in the market, giving its users instant, unlimited, permissionless access to the Sky Savings Rate (Currently at 4.75%)
Earning a return on USDH for the HyperLiquid Community
The HyperLiquid Community would earn the highest possible rate on all the USDH on Hyperliquid - right now this is 4.85%, which is currently significantly above the T-Bill rate, but with very high diversification and high quality risk management (see security and risk management below).
The return may increase further as Sky capabilities and efficiency increase over time.
The entirety of the 4.85% earned by all of the USDH on Hyperliquid will be used for HYPE buybacks for the assistance fund.
Growing HyperLiquid TVL and bootstrapping DeFi innovation with a 25m HyperLiquid Genesis Star
Sky’s infrastructure can provide uniquely valuable support to the Hyperliquid community via the Sky Stars.
The best examples are Spark and Grove, autonomous projects that allocate Sky collateral with a combined allocation of 6 billion dollars.
The Sky Powered USDH stablecoin will be accompanied by a Hyperliquid Star that can drive huge amounts of growth and innovation, as well as potentially attract billions in TVL by farming out its Star Tokens (The Spark SPK farm currently has a TVL of 1.2 billion info.sky.money/rewards/0x173e…).
Sky can commit to capitalize the Hyperliquid Genesis Star with 25 million in USDH, and exclusively farm it out on the Hyperliquid Blockchain. The ecosystem of Star Incubators would work with leaders from the Hyperliquid community to assemble a highly capable founding team that would work on the Hyperliquid Star to bootstrap a massive, thriving DeFi ecosystem on Hyperliquid, in the same way Spark has done it for Sky.
Buyback engine native on Hyperliquid
Sky generates 250m in profits per year, and currently uses 36m per year for SKY token buybacks. This number is planned to increase to 150m per year, and will grow even more as Sky profits increase over time. Currently, this buyback system uses Uniswap.
As a part of the Sky Powered USDH proposal, Sky can move its native Buyback System to Hyperliquid, increasing liquidity and use cases, and setting the example that Hyperliquid is the standard solution for Protocol token buybacks that all other protocols should use.
Security and Risk Management
Sky has a security track record of more than 7 years of continuous operation without losses for stablecoin holders, building a Lindy effect through multiple crypto cycles and bear markets, making it by far the safest and most proven decentralized stablecoin. These characteristics will be fully inherited by USDH.
Add to the that, the fact that Sky is the only stablecoin project in the world to have an official credit rating from S&P, which gave it a B- on August 7 spglobal.com/ratings/en/reg…
While a B- rating is a middle rating, which reflects S&Ps lack of familiarity with Crypto and DeFi, being able to get any rating at all is a massive breakthrough because it shows that S&P are able to access all of the data they need to produce a holistic credit assessment they can stand behind, so it signals a much lower chance of tail risks hidden inside the protocol, which is usually the big issue with DeFi and Stablecoins.
The Sky Risk Management Framework that controls the diversification of the collateral portfolio that backs USDS, DAI and USDH, is derived from Basel III, the framework used to control risk in banks. For RWA collateral such as CLOs or T-bills, Basel III is used directly, while for DeFi collateral such as allocations into lending markets, an extension of Basel III that captures its fundamental approach but applies it to DeFi, is used.

Autonomy and customization of USDH
Sky is a decentralized protocol and ecosystem that gives partners unparalleled levels of autonomy and ability to customize the Sky infrastructure they use. Unlike monolithic systems, Sky will simply provide Hyperliquid with the infrastructure and the tools to pursue the strategy the community prefers, and that uniquely fits the special conditions of Hyperliquid.
In the longer term, as the Sky Agent Framework that powers Sky Infrastructure matures, the USDH stablecoin will be put under the control of a dedicated Sky Generator Agent, turning USDH into an independent Sky Generated Asset. This will also happen to USDS, and means that USDH will gain the full first-class citizen features of the entire Sky Protocol alongside USDS and other Sky Stablecoins. It will be possible for the Hyperliquid community to customize USDH with its own risk management framework and collateral portfolio, separate from USDS.
This gives the Hyperliquid community a lot of options: for instance USDH can be made compatible as a GENIUS Act compliant stablecoin, or it can pursue a higher risk approach and exclusively be backed by Hyperliquid perp positions, or any other strategy the community prefers.
At its core, Sky is built to support partners like Hyperliquid using a Sky-powered system like USDH to grow and succeed. This means a focus on autonomy and reliability, with the core of Sky having very little governance and strategic direction beyond protecting, developing, scaling and de-risking the core Sky infrastructure that all other ecosystem participants share and rely on.
This means that the priorities of Sky can never end up conflicting with the priorities of Hyperliquid, making it a safe bet as a long term partner.
Commitment to build in the Hyperliquid Ecosystem regardless of vote outcome
The similarity of Sky and Hyperliquid in focusing on real profits, building useful decentralized infrastructure, means there is a natural alignment between Sky and Hyperliquid
Regardless of how the USDH ticker vote turns out, Sky is committed to expand and work with Hyperliquid to explore all the synergies of the two projects. Many of the concepts described above were already under development, and the outcome of this proposal would speed them up and increase their scale, but fundamentally it is clear that both Sky and Hyperliquid will deeply benefit from close integration in the long run no matter what.

Additional details regarding Sky USDH proposal
I think the Sky USDH proposal is super exciting and I'm really glad to see the overwhelming positive response!! Sky has not before publicly committed to working with Hyperliquid, but had several projects under way in stealth mode. Regardless of how the USDH vote turns out, due this huge outpouring of warm support I think it's guaranteed there will be a long lasting and synergetic relationship between Sky and Hyperliquid far into the future!
Over the course of today I will be going on Podcasts and Twitter Spaces to clarify the Sky USDH proposal
Alongside post is a follow up to the Sky Powered USDH proposal yesterday, and will clarify some additional details and answer common questions
What does Sky get out of the proposal?
I think Hyperliquid and Sky are very aligned in having a focus on sustainable, no-nonsense business models with clear revenue and profits. Some people have been reacting to the proposal, wondering if it's a "bribe" and wondering what benefit Sky gets. Sky actually gets a large direct financial benefit, while also giving Hyperliquid a very good deal and I want to spell that out so nobody thinks the deal could be potentially unsustainable for Sky.
The USDH Yield
Sky currently charges a spread of 30bps between the Savings Rate (for people who hold stable coins) and the Base Rate (for Stars that borrow stable coins). Hyperliquid would get the entire Savings Rate (currently 4.75%), and also get 10bps of the spread (known as the Integrator Reward), for a total of 4.85%. The other 20bps would be split, with 10bps going to the Hyperliquid Star, and the last 10bps going to Sky. So Sky would make a spread on USDH, however, it would be extremely efficient with Sky making sure Hyperliquid gets the overwhelming majority of the economics. Even if USDH grew to 5 billion, Sky would earn just 5 million per year from that.
The Hyperliquid Star
Sky can deploy 25 million USDH to capitalize a Hyperliquid focused Star that would turbocharge DeFi on Hyperliquid and grow adoption of USDH. The tokens for the Hyperliquid Star would be exclusively farmed out on Hyperliquid. However, this is not a 25 million bribe to the Hyperliquid community, as the stable coins paying out Star Token Rewards, would also not pay out the Savings Rate, making the Star a sustainable project for Sky.
Sidenote: The community could also choose to enable sUSDH on Hyperliquid, which would give USDH holders the ability to earn a return on their USDH - but if this is enabled, then the Savings Rate for those users would be redirected to the users, rather than to HYPE buybacks, again ensuring the whole thing is sustainable.
Multichain Access to the USDH Savings Rate
The entire Savings Rate and Integrator Reward of USDH will go to HYPE buybacks, but this will only apply to USDH on Hyperliquid and Ethereum Mainnet. For other multichain instances of USDH, it will use something called the Pioneer system, which uses the leftover Savings Rate to act as an incentive for new Stars to build up the infrastructure and network effects required to bring the stablecoin multi chain. This ensures that USDH will grow autonomously, without relying on a single team, and instead accessing a vast ecosystem of self-incentivized builders.
Priority is USDH adoption
As many people have pointed out, winning the USDH ticker is just the beginning. The actual challenge will be to turn it into something meaningful that synergies with the Hyperliquid community and resonates with the users. Right now, the big selling point with potential for viral adoption is to align incentives by ensuring that broad USDH adoption results in a additional HYPE buybacks.
However, if that approach fails to gain traction, then redirecting 100% of barely any income still means barely any buybacks. So while I think the right initial approach that has potential is the 100% buybacks, the community should be prepared to experiment with other approaches if it fails to reach critical mass - one obvious idea would be to pass on the return specifically to the users who actually hold USDH, which would just mean better efficiency in the ecosystem, preventing Hyperliquids users from leaking value over time and this increasing trading activity and trading fees for Hyperliquid.
This can also be paired with other creative approaches leveraging Sky Stars to boost adoption and build up sustainable Hyperliquid stablecoin growth over time.
Conversion of USDH to a Generator Agent
In the future, when the infrastructure is mature, Sky will spin off USDH into a Generator Agent. This means that USDH will become completely financially autonomous, and can pursue its own strategy including for things like collateral risk management, go to market strategy, and regulatory strategy.
The USDH Generator Agent, will also have tokens just like the Star Agent, and will be exclusively farmed out on Hyperliquid. The community will then be able to decide which direction to take USDH with its own native and highly advanced governance system. The Generator Agent will inherit the same standard economics of other Generator Agents in Sky, and will be able to set fees and spreads on all USDH across all chains, fully making it an autonomous first class citizen for the Hyperliquid community.
Every market, and every community is different, and it could be that the best fit for Hyperliquid is a higher risk stablecoin that gives a very competitive return, like Ethena, or maybe a stablecoin that prioritizes regulatory compliance. This should be up to the community to decide once they have the right tools to understand all of the tradeoffs.
GENIUS act compliance
USDH will not be GENIUS act compliant at inception, and no stablecoin can be yet. But with the Generator Agent approach, the community will be able to explore every possible solution for making USDH functionally GENIUS compliant. DAI, USDS and Sky USDH are decentralized stable coins, which is ultimately not what the GENIUS regulation was designed to cover, but there are already many proposals and ideas for how it would be possible to align DeFi and regulation. Most importantly, the composition of the collateral portfolio is essential for regulatory compliance, and this is something the Generator Agent will have full control over.
Feel free to ask more questions here and I'll answer. Also, I am grinding to reach level 3 in discord soon so I can answer inside the forum thread itself 😀
