  • Owner can pause all transfers

  • Mintable supply — no cap found, dilution unbounded

  • Top-10 concentration > 30%
Exact factors
  • Owner can pause all transfers
  • A privileged address controls a switch that decides whether transfers go through
  • Mintable supply — no cap found, dilution unbounded
  • LP lock status UNKNOWN — the pool's LP could not be read
  • Top-10 concentration > 30% (95.5% total → 38.5% effective; 0.5% in EOAs, 95.0% in contracts)

Each factor is an on-chain fact recorded at the time of this analysis. The score is computed from them by a deterministic function, so the same contract returns the same score for anyone who runs the audit. How scores are computed

Early-stage analysis. This token has limited on-chain history (6h old). New tokens carry elevated risk — data may change rapidly. Always verify independently before investing.

How holder types affect the score

Share held by contracts — treasury, vesting, bridge or staking — is discounted against share held by wallets when the score is computed: a contract cannot decide to sell the way an anonymous holder can, though it can still be drained or voted to sell. Effective concentration is the figure the risk score is actually calculated from.

Security Findings

2 Medium5 Info
Medium

Centralized Control Over Token Supply

The owner can call updateMintRate and release to increase the total supply of tokens. This allows the administrator to dilute the holdings of all existing token holders at their discretion.CP-01

Issue

The owner can call updateMintRate and release to increase the total supply of tokens. This allows the administrator to dilute the holdings of all existing token holders at their discretion.

Fix

Consider implementing a hard-coded inflation schedule or moving the minting authority to a decentralized governance contract with a mandatory timelock.

Medium

Centralized Control Over Transferability

The owner can use lockPool and unlockPool to enable or disable token transfers. This gives the administrator the power to freeze user assets or prevent trading activity entirely.CP-05

Issue

The owner can use lockPool and unlockPool to enable or disable token transfers. This gives the administrator the power to freeze user assets or prevent trading activity entirely.

Fix

Remove the ability to pause transfers or restrict this functionality to a decentralized emergency pause mechanism that requires community consensus.

Analysis

AI Copilotas of audit · Nov 2
Executive SummaryWhat the contract is and what the review found

The DERC20 contract is a standard ERC-20 implementation with additional governance, voting, and vesting capabilities. The protocol relies on a centralized owner to manage inflation, token vesting releases, and transfer restrictions. While the code follows standard OpenZeppelin patterns, the high level of administrative control over supply and transferability introduces significant trust requirements for token holders.

Technical8/10Low risk

The architecture utilizes robust, battle-tested OpenZeppelin libraries for ERC-20 and governance functionality (7.1 Architecture). Code security is high, with clear separation of concerns and standard implementation of EIP-712 and ERC-20Votes (7.2 Code Security). However, the reliance on manual state updates for inflation and vesting (7.8 Operations) requires careful administrative oversight to prevent logic errors.

Governance3/10High risk

Economic parameters are heavily centralized under the owner role (7.4 Economic). The owner has the authority to mint tokens and modify transfer rules, which directly impacts token holder value (7.5 Governance). While inflation is capped at 2% per year, the lack of a timelock or multi-signature requirement for these privileged actions increases the risk of centralized abuse.

Upgrades4/10Medium risk

The contract is not currently using a proxy pattern (7.7 Upgrades). Logic is immutable once deployed, which eliminates risks associated with malicious implementation updates. Future changes would require a full contract migration.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

To improve security, transition the ownership of the contract to a multi-signature wallet or a decentralized governance DAO.

Implementing a timelock on privileged functions like updateMintRate and lockPool would provide transparency and allow the community to react to administrative changes before they take effect.
