Technical documentation for Sky Ecosystem and the Laniakea upgrade — a comprehensive infrastructure overhaul rolling out through 2026.
Laniakea is Sky's infrastructure for automated capital deployment at scale. It introduces:
- Unified capital flow architecture — Capital flows from Sky Core → Primes → Halos → end investments, with every flow rate-limited
- Scientific risk management — Basel III-inspired framework determining capital requirements based on asset duration and forced realization probability
- Autonomous operation — Sentinel network operates infrastructure within governance-defined bounds, enabling 99% automation
- Daily settlement cycles — Standardized daily cycles for auctions, distributions, and LCTS token settlement (lock 13:00 UTC, settle by 16:00 UTC)
This repository provides a complete view of all future Laniakea upgrades alongside current Sky Ecosystem parameters and features.
This documentation is designed for navigation with code LLMs (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.). The information density and cross-references between documents make AI assistance valuable for efficiently traversing the content.
