TOKEN DISTRIBUTION
SCORE = 5/5
According to their tokenomics, tokens are bucketed into 7 sections:
The token distribution and vesting period are described in the following table:
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.

SECTION 3: SOCIAL MEDIA & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
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.
In our preliminary evaluation conducted on 01/19/25 (unpublished), the project had 11.31K followers.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.
In our preliminary evaluation conducted on 01/19/25 (unpublished), the project had over 3,000 followers.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.
Focusing our analysis on the project's social networks, we can see that the community is medium-sized, especially on Discord.
The General group is always active, being very well attended by both Kevin and other team members such as FW, Panda or The Witcher, who are recognized for being members of other large projects in the Berachain ecosystem.
As for engagement or community incentive campaigns, the main one they have is the Ooga Bucks, where they reward $6.9 for X content that helps spread the word about the project. This is really innovative and no other project has it.
On the other hand, they have recently started doing WL raffles for NFTs from the Berachain ecosystem.
The X posts on the official Ooga Booga account, although not very frequent, have a very high impact in terms of views (some have reached almost 200k, more than 1k likes and more than 400 reposts).
The levels of participation and engagement are organic according to the number of followers the project has.
Activities such as assigning a specific role on Discord for a limited time to reward the first users showed that the community is there. On Discord, this "Genesis" community is relatively small, but participatory.
Another thing is the posts on X, as we have already said, from the official account they are few, but of great impact.
At the same time, many people participate in the Ooga Bucks campaign, creating content about the project and receiving a reward for it.
What is also clear is that, beyond the "community" of the project, Ooga Booga has captivated a high percentage of the users of the Berachain testnet, with more than 450k users.
Ooga Booga is abundant and transparent in providing information about the project, however it is scattered across several channels. To get the full picture of the vision and impact of the project you need to be able to link together:
Its documents, agreements and terms of use, audit report.
Ooga Booga X accounts, but especially @whoiskevin.
Discord: you can find the information in the announcements channel, the Weekly Dev Updates channel, and the Official Ooga Booga content channel.
You can also find numerous podcasts and interviews with Kevin.
Virtually all information about the development, past, present and future of the project is public and can be found in the sources mentioned above. Even when they are going to reveal new developments or important information, they manage to create high levels of hype, as for example with this post:
SECTION 3 - FINAL SCORE: 20/20
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.
Security Audit Findings and Mitigations for Ooga Booga:
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.
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.
Ongoing Security Plans
Commitment to regular audits to ensure continuous security improvements.
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.
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.
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.
Market exclusion is entirely dependent on the due regulatory environment. In this regard, the project's adherence to such regulation is geared towards making efforts to safeguard the longevity of the project.
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.
On this aspect, the project provides the following information about what they have done and are doing:
Establish an Industry-standard corporate structuring (and re-structuring) to ensure future-proofing the legal infrastructure's operations;
Regular regulatory risk identification, assessment and mitigation exercises.
