Sky discloses historical settlement omissions and corrective allocations

The Ledger · · Ketju Research

ProposedConfirmed evidence

Affects: Sky (protocol) · Spark Liquidity Layer (protocol)

What happened

Soter Labs disclosed three historical accounting omissions and proposed carrying their corrections through the September monthly settlement.

What changed

The correction recognizes Spark reserve-factor income, allocates previously omitted BUIDL redemption costs to Sky and adds unpaid Skybase distribution rewards to the published payment baseline.

What did not change

Published settlement instructions do not establish executed minting or transfers. The record does not establish a protocol exploit, depositor haircut or redemption interruption.

Confirmed

  • Soter Labs calculates omitted Spark income at 2,392,354.07 USDS, increasing proposed debt mint and Spark transfer equally.
  • It calculates Grove relief of 165,013.90 USDS through reduced debt mint, without a separate Grove transfer increase.
  • It calculates historical Skybase rewards of 177,113.78 USDS, subject to deducting any payments outside published reports.
  • The report calculates a 342,127.68 USDS reduction in settlement net defined as minted debt less agent transfers.
  • The September summary states that the corrections are recognized once in consolidated net revenue and treasury-management input.

Still open

  • Executed settlement transactions and final reconciliation.
  • Any off-report Skybase payments requiring deductions.
  • Independent reproduction of the linked calculation datasets.
  • Whether accounting controls now prevent recurrence across other venues.

What it means for an advisor

  • Review Sky revenue, reserve-accrual and loss-allocation assumptions using corrected rather than unadjusted settlement data.
  • Add the omitted redemption-cost and reward-obligation treatment to accounting diligence.
  • Reconcile Spark income recognition and settlement transactions before adopting revised figures as a final baseline.
