Summary

Growth DeFi is a Binance Smart Chain (BSC) yield aggregator and DeFi ecosystem founded in 2020, offering the GRO governance token, the WHEAT yield optimizer, and the MOR overcollateralized stablecoin. On February 8, 2021, the protocol suffered a flashloan price oracle exploit targeting its stkGRO/rAAVE staking contract, resulting in approximately $1.3–1.4 million in stolen funds with no full recovery. As of 2026, the protocol has an extremely low TVL of roughly $22,000 and the GRO token trades at near-zero valuations, indicating near-complete abandonment.
