Raga Finance
Summary
Raga Finance is a DeFi yield optimization protocol launched in 2024 and deployed on Berachain and Hyperliquid, offering automated cross-chain vaults for earning yield on ETH, BTC, and stablecoins. A pre-launch security audit by QuillAudits uncovered 16 smart contract vulnerabilities — including critical flaws enabling permanent loss of user funds, a non-functional emergency panic function, and an open-access vault address setter — constituting the protocol logic incident flagged for review. The protocol has been flagged by ZachXBT, and while the development team reportedly remediated all identified vulnerabilities, the severity and breadth of pre-launch flaws raise meaningful questions about engineering process and ongoing risk.
