Sky is a token. It has no blockchain of its own and no consensus of its own — it rents both from the chains it is issued on, which is why it is listed separately from the cryptocurrencies.

C — 41 out of 100, provisional (from 7 of 10 criteria, 10 November 2026 build). With what is not yet measured anywhere from nothing to full marks, the score would be 29 to 59 (D to B).

|---|---|---|
| Leading Consensus Mechanisms | 5 | group average |
| Host chain | 8.1 | Issued on Ethereum (A+, 81/100) |
| Asset class (below every coin family) | 1.8 | Tokens: below every native coin family on the consensus ladders, 0.9 of 10 by largest asset and 2.7 by combined market cap |
| Network security | 0 | No network of its own: secured by its host chain, scored above |
| Decentralisation | 2.7 | group average, 2 of 4 measured |
| Minting and supply (who can mint more) | 5.4 | SKY (0x5607…9279) has mint() gated by 'wards' (the MKR→SKY converter and the Sky governance pause proxy). New SKY needs a Sky governance executive vote.; no fixed maximum supply source |
| Premine (pre-issued at launch) | 0 | Assumed minted in full at deployment, as nearly every token is; launch not yet researched |
| Fundraising | — | Sold to the public or to investors: share sold not yet researched. The Maker Foundation sold MKR privately: a16z bought about 6% for $15M (Sept 2018), and Paradigm and Dragonfly bought about 5.5% for $27.5M (Dec 2019). These are at least 11.5% of supply; earlier 2017 investor purchases are not quantified. source |

Ten criteria, weighted equally — for a token, the host chain replaces the developer share, the asset class stands in for the consensus ladders, and who can mint more for the Cryptocurrency Standards. Provisional: criteria marked — are not yet measured and are left out of the average. A rating of structure and market depth, not a price forecast or investment advice.

MKR's 1M genesis mint by the Maker Foundation is the bulk of SKY supply. Later flop-auction mints (2020) and governance-approved SKY reward emissions add an unquantified share.
The Maker Foundation sold MKR privately: a16z bought about 6% for $15M (Sept 2018), and Paradigm and Dragonfly bought about 5.5% for $27.5M (Dec 2019). These are at least 11.5% of supply; earlier 2017 investor purchases are not quantified.
SKY (0x5607…9279) has mint() gated by 'wards' (the MKR→SKY converter and the Sky governance pause proxy). New SKY needs a Sky governance executive vote.
soldPct is at least 11.5% (known VC purchases) but the full figure is unknown. There was no ICO. Current supply is about 23.45B SKY.

It is issued on 2 chains, which means 2 separate issuances of the same claim. Linked names are chains that are themselves cryptocurrencies with a page here.
CoinSpectrum counts an asset once. A token has neither its own blockchain nor its own consensus mechanism, so it fails both of the site's two conditions — it is a thing issued on a chain, and the chain is what is counted. The methodology states the rule, and the argument for it is set out in full.
Listed, not hidden. The point is that it is measured as what it is.
