USDS as collateral on Venus Protocol Ethereum Core Pool

Summary:

Sky contributors would like to propose the addition of USDS to Venus Protocol as a core market on Ethereum.

Motivation:

Sky is the recent rebrand of MakerDAO and is behind the USDS stablecoin. USDS has over ~$5bn market cap with over $130m of liquidity on mainnet. By adding USDS to Venus, Sky enables the Venus community to participate in the Sky ecosystem and gives existing USDS users access to Venus markets.

Benefits

Venus users will be able to access and utilise USDS for various yield and strategic opportunities.
Venus Protocol can associate itself with the Sky ecosystem and attract Sky users to Venus through this integration.
The addition of USDS will support Venus’s growth on Ethereum.

About Sky
The Sky Protocol, which centers around the USDS stablecoin and the SKY governance token, are enhanced versions of MakerDAO’s DAI and MKR, respectively. Sky offers the ability to mint USDS by depositing ETH along with features such as the Sky Savings Rate (SSR) for earning interest on USDS holdings and Sky Token Rewards (STRs) for supporting ecosystem projects.

It is a really good option to see the products of Maker, one of the pioneers of the ecosystem, on Venus. It will support Venus expansion in the Eth network.

My journey into this world began by staking DAI, and I believe it would be beneficial to offer this asset on the Ethereum network.

Every development made on the Ethereum network is very important for the protocol. Having it as a stablecoin is also a good initiative to attract liquidity to the protocol.
