The Sky protocol completed its first token burn, permanently eliminating 2.86 million units acquired on the open market using the ecosystem’s own funds.
The operation used 5% of the monthly Net Protocol Surplus allocated to buybacks and burns, one of the three capital allocation mechanisms defined in Stage 2 of the protocol.
The first SKY burn is complete.

Under that framework, 50% of the monthly net surplus is distributed across SKY buybacks for staking rewards —22.5%—, staking rewards in USDS —another 22.5%— and the aforementioned burn program —the remaining 5%—.
The protocol thus links its financial performance directly to permanent reductions in SKY’s circulating supply, complemented by recurring purchases on the secondary market and an incentive system for those who maintain staking positions.
According to a communication from the protocol’s team through its official account on X, the first burn represents the transition from the regulatory framework to operational execution. The link between the protocol’s financial results and the contraction of token supply was formally activated with this transaction.
