PROOF OF LIQUIDITY IMPACT

SCORE = 5/5

  • Ooga Booga and its dual token structure is utterly embedded in the logic of proof of liquidity.

  • On other blockchains, a vast majority of transactions already happens through aggregators, less and less users tend to directly utilize direct Dexs front-ends, opting for one stop shop solutions, such as Defillama’s famous meta DEX aggregator: Llamaswap.

  • Ooga Booga’s ideology is also to plug other successful external project’s liquidity, proposing specific features such as multi asset swaps like Odos, gas-less swaps like Matcha.ox, limit orders like Jupiter, they are building an interesting aggregating alternative that will surely find its audience.

  • A lot of other native protocols liquidity will be tapped through Ooga Booga’s user interface.

  • With the amount of partnerships, the protocol tied within the entire Berachain ecosystem, especially with key partners such as Kodiak Finance, Marginal DEX, Beradrome, the Bullas, Aori Finance, Honeypot Finance and Goldilocks, one may expect a decent amount of utilities for the $sOOGA modules.

SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE

SCORE = 5/5

  • Ooga Booga has a presence on X and Discord.

  • The X account has more than 14k followers, but its activity is spaced out over time, becoming more dynamic in recent months. Its first post was on 03/20/2024 and the second post was on 08/19/2024.

post image
  • In our preliminary evaluation conducted on 01/19/25 (unpublished), the project had 11.31K followers. Now, as we can see, it has 14.45K. The growth rate has been approximately 27.76%.

  • As for Discord, it has more than 3k followers, many of them really active in the channels.

post image
  • In our preliminary evaluation conducted on 01/19/25 (unpublished), the project had over 3,000 followers. Now, as we can see, it has 5.4,000. The growth rate has been approximately 60.62%.

  • The first message in the announcement channel is from 04/09/24, totaling only 24 announcements in this channel in 9 months.

  • However, there are other channels such as the Weekly Dev Update and the Official Ooga Booga Content, within which the information is more fluid and frequent.

  • In turn, the Co-Founder of the project has a strong presence on X where he posts information about Ooga Booga and Berachain.

  • In short, although it may seem at first glance that the frequency of communication is infrequent through official channels, the information is provided mainly by Kevin and complemented by the official Ooga Booga X account and the aforementioned Discord channels.

SECTION 4: SECURITY & RISK ASSESSMENT

SECURITY AUDITS

SCORE = 5/5

  • Ooga Booga shared a security audit conducted by Zellic, a well established third-party auditing firm.

post image
  • Security Audit Findings and Mitigations for Ooga Booga:

    1. Strengths

      • Critical Issue Resolution: All critical vulnerabilities identified by Zellic’s audit were resolved before the platform’s deployment.

      • Slippage Guards: Smart contracts incorporate robust slippage protection, reverting transactions if the fee differential exceeds a threshold, automatically routing trades through Bex or Kodiak.

      • Validation Mechanisms: Contracts validate token addresses and transaction integrity, reducing unauthorized action risks.

    2. Identified Risks

      • Centralization Risk: Off-chain simulations create unavoidable back-end centralization, though slippage monitoring and validation controls mitigate user risk.

      • Oracle Dependency: Reliance on a single oracle introduces potential vulnerabilities. No redundancy strategy for oracle failure is outlined.

    3. Ongoing Security Plans

      • Commitment to regular audits to ensure continuous security improvements.

    4. Summary of Pros and Cons

      • Pros:

        • Resolution of major vulnerabilities.

        • Effective slippage protection mechanisms.

        • Comprehensive validation processes.

      • Cons:

        • Centralization inherent in off-chain simulations.

        • Lack of redundancy for oracle dependency.

post image
  • Conclusion:

    • Ooga Booga demonstrates proactive security management by resolving key vulnerabilities and integrating strong safeguards.

    • However, addressing oracle redundancy and exploring decentralized alternatives for off-chain processes would further enhance the platform’s robustness.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

SCORE = 5/5

  • Compliance Measures: Ooga Booga adheres to all major regulatory requirements in its operational jurisdictions. Specific measures include:

    • KYC/AML Compliance: Limited to its partners and collaborators, ensuring lawful operations. Apparently without compromising user privacy.

    • Restrictions on High-Risk Jurisdictions: Users from restricted territories, including the U.S. and China, are explicitly prohibited from accessing the platform. This is an important limit to product growth.

RISK IDENTIFICATION

SCORE = 5/5

  • Ooga Booga has conducted a comprehensive risk identification process, addressing both technical and financial risks.

  • Technical Risks:

    • Backend Centralization: Ooga Booga’s reliance on off-chain simulations presents a centralization risk. Any back-end failure could compromise the platform’s services.

    • Smart Contract Bugs: Although the platform has passed an audit, bugs in smart contracts remain a risk.

  • Financial Risks:

    • Liquidity Drain: The platform could face liquidity shortages due to market volatility or manipulation.

    • Fee Dependency: Ooga Booga's fee model hinges on outperforming competitors such as Bex and Kodiak. This may not always be feasible, introducing financial uncertainty.

  • Social Risks:

    • Community Criticism: The centralization risks and reliance on off-chain components could lead to criticism, especially from DeFi purists.

CONTINGENCY PLANS

SCORE = 5/5

  • Identified Risks:

    • Centralization Risk Mitigation: Implementation of mechanisms to ensure minimal disruption in case of back-end failure.

    • Oracle Redundancy: Plans to integrate multiple oracles to reduce reliance on a single data source.

    • Liquidity Support: Emergency liquidity reserves are in place to minimize sudden liquidity shortages.

    • Smart Contract Updates: A defined system for rapid patching and updating to ensure timely resolution of newly discovered vulnerabilities.

    Pros:

    • Properly defined processes for mitigation of liquidity and technical risks.

    • Plans for introducing redundancy in oracles.

    Cons

    • No  timelines to implement redundancy and fallback mechanisms.

  • Ooga Booga shows a robust approach to security and risk management, and addresses critical vulnerabilities and planning for ongoing audits. However, centralization and oracle dependency remain areas of concern.

  • The project’s proactive risk identification and mitigation strategies are very commendable, but s more detailed contingency planning would enhance user confidence.
