MakerDAO founder wants MKR holders to vote on Sky brand and make a “firm decision”
According to CoinDesk, MKR token holders are currently voting to assess their opinions on whether MakerDAO should "reposition" the Maker brand and abandon the new name "Sky" adopted in August. The non-binding vote currently shows that token holders support retaining the Sky brand, although participation is currently quite limited.
In an interview, MakerDAO founder Rune Christensen remained neutral on the brand issue, but asked the community to resolve the brand controversy and refocus on growth. He said: "The most important thing is to make a decision and focus on important things, that is, the product." Christensen emphasized that changing the name to Sky is not just a superficial work, "far more than a rebranding", but part of Maker's "end game strategy", which launched new products such as the USDS stablecoin.
Christensen said one way to track the success of the stablecoin is to look at the percentage of USDS that sits idle without earning rewards. Of the more than $1 billion in circulation, a small but notable portion is not earning rewards — suggesting it is held by real humans, not bots, as this idle behavior indicates real usage, as real users treat USDS like cash, temporarily holding it without seeking to maximize returns. However, while the move is still seen as a success and the launch of the USDS stablecoin exceeded expectations, Christensen also admitted that Sky's renaming has encountered challenges, affecting community perception and market confidence. The voting round will last until November 7. The next step will be a binding governance vote.

The results of the US election may be delayed, and the election situation is stalemate
According to the official Weibo of CCTV.com on November 5, the US media generally believes that the 2024 election is the most stalemate presidential election in the United States in recent years, and it is also the most evenly matched presidential election in American history. On November 4, Democratic candidate Harris and Republican candidate Trump were doing their final campaign activities in key "swing states". In this election, the polls in the "swing states" have been constantly flipping, making the final result more uncertain. Although the regulations of each state are slightly different, each polling station usually ends voting at 7 pm local time. However, due to the extremely stalemate in the election, recounts may occur in some key states. This means that the election results may take hours or even days to be announced.
