Ranger Finance Announces Gradual Shutdown Due to Funding Difficulties and Drift Vulnerability
Ranger Finance co-founder cobra stated that Ranger Finance is winding down operations. Some personnel and vendors who collaborated with, built, and supported the project have not received full payment. He explained that during periods of cash shortage, the founders personally injected funds to keep operations running and advanced fundraising efforts within MetaDAO; however, the delayed fundraising led to an accumulation of unpaid bills. After the fundraising was completed, the project only secured approximately two months of runway before the funds were returned. Ranger Finance noted that treasury liquidation exceeded expectations, negatively impacting employees, vendors, and growth budgets. Subsequently, the Drift vulnerability further hampered project progress. Vault users affected by the Drift vulnerability will receive recovered tokens when distributed by the Drift team.
