Summary

8ight Finance (also referred to as 8ightDAO) was an OHM fork launched on the Harmony blockchain in October 2021, positioning itself as a relief project for victims of the Snowdog DAO rug pull. In December 2021, approximately $1.75 million in treasury stablecoins was drained after the team admitted to transmitting private keys through Facebook group chat and Google Drive. The incident is disputed: community members alleged an intentional rug pull while the team claimed external compromise, but funds were sent to Tornado Cash making attribution impossible.
