Summary

Fei Protocol and Rari Capital merged in December 2021 under Tribe DAO to form a combined DeFi liquidity and lending platform. On April 30, 2022, a reentrancy attack targeting a known flaw in the Compound Finance codebase drained approximately $80 million from seven Rari Fuse lending pools. Tribe DAO ultimately wound down in late 2022 following contentious governance disputes over victim compensation, and Rari Capital's co-founders faced SEC enforcement action in 2024.
