Summary

ARA Finance is an Avalanche-based DeFi project that launched in December 2021, combining a yield farm (Goose/Masterchef fork) with a decentralized reserve currency protocol modeled on Olympus DAO (OHM). The project underwent a failed v1 launch, published a postmortem acknowledging market collapse, and pivoted to a v2 with minimal transparency. As of 2026, the protocol is effectively defunct with a TVL of approximately $1,500, a token classified as a dead coin, and an anonymous team that ceased meaningful communication.
