Mid-Senior Legal Counsel - Archblock

• About the project
• Sky, formerly MakerDAO, is one of the largest decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. Since
• 2015, it has consistently delivered innovations that have shaped the space. Sky was
• established soon after the announcement of Ethereum and the birth of the idea of a
• Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). As the creator of Dai, Sky has established
• itself as one of the most prominent DeFi protocols. Dai itself is the first widely adopted
• decentralized, collateral-backed stablecoin.
• Sky embodies core crypto principles like openness, decentralization, and transparent
• governance while pursuing real-world impact and ambitious goals. Its decentralized stablecoin
• Dai, signature governance solutions, and pioneering focus on real-world assets (RWAs) have
• been central to its success. Today, Sky is a 10 billion USD protocol driven by the plan to bring it
• to the next rapid phase.
• Recently, Sky entered a new chapter with the introduction of the Endgame Plan. This plan
• includes upgraded versions of its tokens, including USDS (the upgraded version of Dai),
• advanced governance mechanisms centered on a rule-based system known as the Atlas, and
• new protocol features. Additionally, Sky has expanded its focus to encompass AI initiatives and
• introduced an innovative structure of SubDAOs (Stars), such as Spark, contributing to the
• broader ecosystem's growth.
• As part of the Endgame Plan, new structures have emerged in the Sky Ecosystem. One is
• Archon Financial, which focuses on user interactions with decentralized protocols.
• About the company
• Archon Financial is a fintech company that provides a broad audience with easy access to DeFi.
• Its affiliate entity, Skybase, operates the Sky.money frontend user interface, which serves as a
• gateway to the Sky Protocol. We leverage AI tools to eliminate entry barriers for users seeking
• to interact with crypto and digital assets, with a particular emphasis on the Sky Ecosystem. Our
• legal-first approach emphasizes global regulatory compliance with a focus on tailoring
• frontend solutions to meet specific jurisdictional requirements.
• With long experience working with the Sky Ecosystem and DAOs in general, we are uniquely
• positioned to capitalize on the opportunities presented by Sky’s Endgame Plan. Our deep
• understanding of the ecosystem creates an exceptional advantage in our collaborations with
• decentralized participants.
