Key Highlights
- RNGR holders propose full liquidation to recover treasury funds after alleged ICO misrepresentations by Ranger Finance.
- Actual trading and revenue fell far below claims, suggesting most “users” were token farmers, not genuine participants.
- Plan returns treasury funds to investors and transfers IP back to Glint House, earning strong community support.
Ranger Finance faces a potential shake-up as holders of its RNGR token have proposed a full liquidation of the platform. MetaDAO, the decentralized governance platform overseeing the protocol, announced on X that the proposal directly challenges existing safeguards that had previously prevented liquidations and buybacks for a 90-day period, raising questions about the future stability of the project.
RNGR token holders claim that Ranger Finance’s team gave misleading business numbers during their initial coin offering (ICO), which made investors overestimate the project’s potential. Because of this, the group says the fairest solution is to return the money in the treasury back to investors.
The proposal by RNGR holders plans to pull all RNGR and USDC from the Futarchy AMM. It also suggests sharing the treasury USDC with tokenholders who aren’t locked, using a snapshot to calculate shares.
On top of that, all intellectual property linked to Futarchy governance would go back to Glint House PTE. LTD. These steps aim to fix the financial mistakes and misrepresentations, giving investors a chance to recover their funds.
Allegations and evidence
According to RNGR token holders, during the ICO, the Ranger Finance team claimed the project would hit $5 billion in trading volume and $2 million in revenue by 2025. But blockchain data shows the real volume was closer to $2 billion and revenue around $500,000. Activity also dropped by more than 90% after the ICO. Because of this, investors believe most “users” were just farming tokens rather than genuinely using the platform.
Ranger Co-Founder Coby said those numbers were only “projections” based on ICO expectations. Still, the team never clarified or corrected the earlier claims. These misleading figures added to the sense that Ranger didn’t have real market traction. As a result, investors now see a full liquidation as the safest option.
Proposed plan and community reaction
The liquidation plan has two main steps. First, it would give all treasury funds back to tokenholders, leaving out unvested or protocol-owned tokens. Each token’s value is estimated to be between $0.75 and $0.82, depending on the liquidity when the snapshot is taken.
Second, all other assets, like intellectual property and infrastructure, would go back to Glint House PTE. LTD.
The community on X has reacted strongly to the proposal. User Sipa criticized the launch as a scam, saying, “Ranger has always been a scam and I showed proof before the TGE.” At the same time, user Richard of ISC praised the plan’s fairness, noting that some allowances could still be recovered while returning the IP.
