# Ranger (RNGR)
**Type:** Protocol
**Domain:** internet-finance
**Status:** Liquidated (March 2026)
## Overview
Ranger was a protocol that raised $8M+ through a futarchy-governed ICO on MetaDAO in January 2026. It became the first project to be liquidated by its own tokenholders through futarchy governance after allegations of material misrepresentation.
## Timeline
- **November 2025** — ICO announcement
- **December 2025** — Co-founder presentation claiming $5B volume and $2M revenue for 2025
- **January 2026** — Raised $8M+ via futarchy ICO on MetaDAO
- **Early March 2026** — Liquidation proposal brought by RNGR holders alleging material misrepresentations; on-chain analysis showed ~$2B volume and $500K revenue (both down 90%+ from claimed figures); activity flatlined after ICO announcement
- **March 12, 2026** — Liquidation snapshot; holders received ~5.04 USDC per RNGR from treasury
## Significance
Ranger's liquidation was the first real-world test of the "unruggable ICO" thesis, demonstrating that futarchy governance can enforce investor protection by unwinding projects and returning capital when teams materially misrepresent. The liquidation also overrode a prior 90-day cooldown on buyback/liquidation proposals, showing futarchy can override its own prior decisions when new evidence emerges.
