Rain Disclosed Report

https://github.com/hackenproof-public/rain-contracts

Summary

The _swapAndBurn() function sets amountOutMinimum: 0 when swapping platform fees (2.5% of trading volume) to RAIN tokens for burning. This allows MEV attacks to reduce the RAIN burn amount to near-zero while consuming the full platform fee in baseToken, completely undermining the protocol's core deflationary mechanism promised in the whitepaper.

Root Cause

The swap is configured with zero minimum output requirement:

ISwapRouter.ExactInputParams memory swapParams = ISwapRouter.ExactInputParams({
    path: path,
    recipient: address(this),
    deadline: block.timestamp + 2 minutes,
    amountIn: amountInBaseToken,
    amountOutMinimum: 0  // ← ZERO SLIPPAGE PROTECTION
});

try ISwapRouter(_swapRouter).exactInput(swapParams) {
    amountRain = IERC20(rainToken).balanceOf(address(this));
    if (amountRain > 0) {
        IRainToken(rainToken).burn(amountRain);  // Burns whatever received
        emit RainTokenBurned(amountRain);
    }
} catch {
    IERC20(baseToken).safeTransfer(platformAddress, amountInBaseToken);
}

The parameter amountOutMinimum: 0 means any output (1 wei to millions) is accepted with no price impact protection.[1]

Whitepaper vs. Code

Whitepaper Promise: "2.5% of trading volume in every prediction market is used to buy back and burn $RAIN tokens. This creates constant downward pressure on supply."

Code Reality: Takes 2.5% in baseToken but swaps with amountOutMinimum = 0, making RAIN burn amount unpredictable and potentially negligible.

Attack Scenarios

MEV Sandwich Attack

1. Attacker observes pending closePool() transaction
2. Front-runs: buys 10M RAIN, inflating RAIN price
3. Protocol swap executes at inflated price, receives minimal RAIN
4. Back-runs: sells 10M RAIN, realizes profit
5. Protocol loss: 25.25 ether of platform fees → 1 wei RAIN

Market Turbulence

• RAIN pool experiences severe slippage during volatility
• Protocol swap executes with amountOutMinimum = 0
• Receives minimal RAIN despite full platform fee sent
• Deflationary burn fails silently

Impact

Broken Tokenomics

Aspect	Expected	Actual
Platform fee sent	25.25 ether baseToken	25.25 ether baseToken
RAIN received	~25 billion wei	1 wei
RAIN burned	~25 billion wei	1 wei
Supply pressure	Deflationary ✓	None ✗
