Ranger Finance, a DeFi project within the Solana ecosystem, is in the process of shutting down, according to a statement by co-founder Cobra on the X platform. According to Odaily, the project has been operating beyond sustainable limits, with founders using personal funds to keep the team running. However, delays in financing led to accumulating bills, and the anticipated funding did not materialize, resulting in the return of raised funds.
Cobra noted that the team attempted to use the remaining two months of operational funds to fairly compensate employees and suppliers, but these efforts were insufficient to cover all expenses. Additionally, treasury liquidation exceeded expectations, severely impacting budget decisions. The subsequent Drift attack further depleted remaining funds and personal capital.
For users affected by the Drift attack, Cobra mentioned that recovery tokens will be provided during the Drift team's future distribution. He also acknowledged that, in hindsight, the team should have closed the project earlier and apologized for the oversight.
