$OATH
Summary
OATH is the governance token of the Byte Masons DeFi ecosystem, which includes Reaper Farm (yield aggregator), Ethos Reserve (stablecoin protocol), and Digit. Launched in March 2022 via a Liquidity Generation Event on the Fantom network, the token peaked at $0.59 before declining 99.98% to near-zero by early 2026. The project migrated to a successor token (CDX / Cod3x) in 2024, leaving OATH effectively deprecated. The ecosystem suffered a $1.7 million smart contract exploit in August 2022 and carries a CertiK Skynet security score of 2.9 out of 100.
