Rune is Rune Christensen, who co-founded Sky, a decentralized finance stablecoin protocol, and previously co-founded MakerDAO, the predecessor project that rebranded as Sky in August 2024. Rune's Twitter Score is 537 out of 1000 (an Excellent rating) as of August 2026, ranking #267 (top 0.1%) out of 483,652 crypto accounts tracked on this platform.
Rune and Nikolai Mushegian established MakerDAO in 2014 to govern DAI, a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, as one of the earliest DeFi applications. In 2022, Christensen introduced the Endgame plan to restructure MakerDAO, replacing existing departments with MetaDAOs, and in 2023 the overhaul expanded to streamline voting and apply artificial intelligence to manage governance data complexity. At the time of the 2022 Endgame governance dispute, Christensen was reported to own roughly 10% of the total MKR supply. Sky's protocol centers on SKY, a decentralized governance token, and USDS, the native stablecoin, with sUSDS as the yield-generating stablecoin and products including Sky Vaults, Ecosystem Rewards, Fixed Yield, and SKY staking. Andreessen Horowitz acquired a 6% share of MKR in 2018, and Paradigm and Dragonfly each list Sky and MakerDAO in their investment portfolios. Rune holds Lido, DELV, Lens, Monad, Miden, Infinex, Bluechip and 3F.
