The protocol achieved rapid early traction, reaching third-most-popular DeFi app on BSC within one month, before its EGG token collapsed more than 99% from an all-time high near $172. A post-audit smart contract exploit in March 2026 drained approximately $8,000 via a share accounting flaw, and independent analysts have flagged the layered farming tokenomics as structurally unsustainable.","timeline":[{"date":"2021-02-10","event":"Goose Finance publicly announces removal of migrator backdoor code inherited from PancakeSwap, claiming to be first BSC yield farm to do so.
