Approved, not executedMixed evidence

Developing. Some claims here are not yet confirmed; they are listed apart from the confirmed facts. A new version replaces this one when the primary evidence changes.

Affects: Sky (protocol)

What happened

Sky governance passed an out-of-schedule executive presented as a precaution against a potential governance attack.

What changed

The approved spell would reduce the GSM Pause Delay from 30 to 18 hours and reconfigure LSE-MKR-A: debt ceiling 20 million to 45 million USDS, target available debt 5 million to 45 million, cooldown 16 hours to 30 minutes, stability fee 12% to 20%, liquidation ratio 200% to 125%, and exit fee 5% to 0%.

What did not change

Primary evidence did not substantiate the alleged attack vector, identify an attacker, establish asset loss or a protocol freeze, or independently prove the spell's execution and effective state within the retained candidate evidence.

Confirmed

  • Sky facilitators scheduled the executive on February 18, 2025 and said they believed a successful governance attack was very unlikely.
  • The official forum and executive record specify the same LSE-MKR-A and GSM Pause Delay changes.
  • A February 19 official-forum reply links the executive and states that it passed.

Still open

  • The screenshots and whistleblower reports cited by facilitators were not published, so the underlying threat remains unverified.
  • The execution transaction and exact effective timestamp were not established from the retained primary receipts.
  • Community participants requested a more specific explanation of how the parameter changes mitigated the reported threat.

What it means for an advisor

  • Review the Sky memo's governance-latency and collateral-risk assumptions because the approved package shortened the response delay while substantially loosening LSE-MKR-A leverage constraints.
  • Do not treat the reported governance attack as confirmed; separately verify spell execution and resulting on-chain parameters before updating operative memo facts.
