History
Audits & Exploits
- No IRON Finance bug bounty program found (21-6-2021).
- Scored a 47% on DeFi Safety (21-6-2021):
"Their BSC contracts were audited by Omniscia on April 1st 2021. IRON Finance was launched in early March 2021. Note: Major issues were fixed, while all the informational ones remain unfixed to this day. Note: Peckshield audit coming soon for their Polygon contracts coming soon.." With the comment: "Scoring is similar to many other Binance protocols. When things went sideways they did not have the depth of team to react in a way to help their investors."
Bugs/Exploits
"The incident started when TITAN became overpriced, perhaps due to users purchasing the token in order to farm TITAN pairs at ~50,000% APY. Some large TITAN sales were made and the price became volatile, making investors nervous, and leading them to also sell their tokens. The IRON stablecoin then lost it's peg due to TITAN dropping so rapidly.
This created a situation in which users could now redeem a token worth 90 cents, for 75 cents of stablecoin and 25 cents of TITAN. An incredible arbitrage opportunity which required minting new TITAN tokens each time. The market was flooded with freshly minted TITAN, and a panic sale began, pushing down the TITAN price and therefore making the IRON stablecoin lose its peg even further."

"Even when the team tweeted about the disaster and told their users to withdraw liquidity from all pools, they continued to take a % fee from those trying to redeem what was left of their money. Savage."
