Keel Launches on Solana With $2.5B Plan for DeFi and RWAs

  • Keel, a new Solana-native capital allocator, launched with plans to allocate up to $2.5 billion in DeFi and tokenized asset markets within the Solana ecosystem.
  • Keel is part of the Sky ecosystem, formerly MakerDAO, under its Endgame overhaul, which includes creating smaller autonomous units known as "stars."
  • The Endgame initiative focuses on governance and innovation, centered around USDS and DAI decentralized stablecoins, with a combined supply exceeding $7 billion.
  • Spark, another unit from the Sky ecosystem, has over $10 billion in TVL on Ethereum, while Grove focuses on collateralized loan obligations.
  • Keel will act as an on-chain capital allocator for Solana DeFi protocols, supported by USDS stablecoin reserves, to enhance liquidity and yield generation.
  • Initial integrations include Kamino, Jupiter, and Raydium, providing liquidity for lending markets and pools on Solana.
  • The initiative aims to attract more tokenized real-world assets (RWA) to Solana, facilitating blockchain-based financial asset movements.
  • Lily Liu of the Solana Foundation sees Keel as pivotal for Solana's position in global capital markets, while Rune Christensen anticipates it becoming the largest capital allocator on Solana.
