Strengths and weaknesses
Pros	Isolated markets prevent bad debt in one asset from impacting other protocol pools Over 30 independent smart contract audits and formal verification by Certora Supported by $175M in institutional backing from Paradigm, a16z crypto, and Ribbit Vault fee changes require an onchain timelock before curators can enforce them	Over $8.7B in deployed capital across lending, savings, and liquidity layers Borrow rates remain stable because they do not fluctuate on pool utilization Requires no identity verification or account sign-up to borrow or save Security audits completed by ChainSecurity, Cantina, and Spearbit
Cons	Vault depositors take on discretionary risk from third-party curator allocations Isolated pools fragment liquidity across individual debt and collateral pairs April 2025 frontend bundler update caused an approval bug that exposed user funds	Core lending markets are limited to Ethereum and Gnosis Borrowing parameters rely heavily on Sky ecosystem governance decisions Exposed to collateral depegging risks across wrapped and tokenized assets
Best for	DeFi lenders seeking risk-isolated markets, Borrowers requiring fixed-rate crypto terms, Passive yield depositors using curated vaults	Borrowers seeking fixed, non-volatile loan rates, Stablecoin holders seeking tokenized savings yields, ETH and wstETH loopers using E-Mode
