About Badger DAO

Badger DAO (BADGER) is a DeFi protocol focused on using Bitcoin (particularly WBTC and renBTC) in Ethereum's DeFi ecosystem. Badger's Sett Vaults are yield-optimizing strategies for BTC-pegged tokens, automating yield farming on Curve, Uniswap, and other protocols. DIGG is Badger's elastic supply BTC synthetic pegged to Bitcoin's price. BADGER is the governance token for Badger DAO with a total max supply mirroring Bitcoin's 21M. Badger suffered a $120M frontend attack in 2021 where user approval signatures were stolen, but continued operating.
