$1R0R Contract Exploited by External Developer; R0AR Responds with Buyback Program
Kingstown, Saint Vincent & The Grenadines, April 21st, 2025, Chainwire R0AR confirms token drain incident due to staking contract vulnerability; recovery actions include structured buybacks following a significant price decline. Decentralized finance (DeFi) platform R0AR has disclosed a security breach involving its $1R0R staking contract, reportedly caused by a backdoor function introduced by an external developer. The incident led to unauthorized asset transfers and a near 90% drop in the token's value, followed by a partial price recovery after a buyback initiative was launched. Security Incident and Initial Response According to the R0AR team, the staking contract held approximately $785,000 in assets and was compromised by 'a trusted external contractor.' The actor utilized a backdoor to transfer funds, which were subsequently routed through Tornado Cash. Dustin Hedrick, Founder and CEO of R0AR, stated: 'The developer responsible for the smart contract backdoor was not a member of the core team, but a trusted external contractor.' The team confirmed that access has since been revoked and recovery efforts are underway. As of April 18, approximately 100 million of the stolen tokens had been recaptured, with only two $1R0R tokens unaccounted for. Recovery Measures and Market Reaction In response to the breach, R0AR initiated a buyback program involving weekly purchases from the open market. This approach was designed to mitigate volatility and support token liquidity. Following the announcement, $1R0R registered a price increase of over 250% from post-incident lows. The team emphasized that the compromised tokens represented a limited share of the total supply and noted that treasury reserves remain secure. Community Engagement and Strategic Direction During a recent AMA session, Dustin Hedrick addressed the incident and outlined the team's long-term focus on development and security enhancements. 'The project has been in development for several years, and this moment, while difficult, represents a starting point for strategic rebuilding,' Hedrick said. He further reiterated R0AR's commitment to transparency and ecosystem resilience. Broader DeFi Context The incident contributes to an ongoing narrative of security concerns within the DeFi space. Despite this, R0AR's quick response and containment efforts have differentiated its handling from other cases of smart contract vulnerabilities. About R0AR R0AR is a decentralized finance platform developing community-driven blockchain infrastructure. The $1R0R token serves utility functions across staking, governance, and rewards within its ecosystem. The platform prioritizes protocol security, transparency, and long-term scalability in its development roadmap. For more information, users can visit: or follow:
