What raised the score
  • 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%
  • Contract source not verified — its logic cannot be read
Exact factors
  • 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% (100.0% total → 48.2% effective; 16.2% in EOAs, 80.0% in contracts; 3.8% burned, locked or in pools excluded)
  • Contract source NOT verified — its logic cannot be read

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 (5h 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

Privileged Annual Inflation Minting

The contract owner can invoke the updateMintRate function, which triggers mintInflation and creates new tokens up to a 2% annual cap. While the release function also releases vested tokens to claimants, updateMintRate directly increases the total circulating token supply, causing gradual dilution to existing token holders.CP-01

Issue

The contract owner can invoke the updateMintRate function, which triggers mintInflation and creates new tokens up to a 2% annual cap. While the release function also releases vested tokens to claimants, updateMintRate directly increases the total circulating token supply, causing gradual dilution to existing token holders.

Fix

Impose a timelock on mint rate adjustments and consider establishing automated, decentralized distribution rules for newly minted tokens to ensure predictability for holders.

Privileged Trading Lock Switch

The owner has exclusive authority to call lockPool and unlockPool, modifying the isPoolUnlocked flag and setting the designated pool address. When locked, token transfers involving the pool can be blocked or restricted, effectively preventing token holders from buying or selling tokens on decentralized exchanges.CP-05

Issue

The owner has exclusive authority to call lockPool and unlockPool, modifying the isPoolUnlocked flag and setting the designated pool address. When locked, token transfers involving the pool can be blocked or restricted, effectively preventing token holders from buying or selling tokens on decentralized exchanges.

Fix

Implement a one-way irreversible unlock mechanism once public trading commences, or bound lockPool execution behind a timelock to prevent arbitrary disruption of market liquidity.

Who holds the supply

The ten largest holders own 100.0% of supply. Of that, 3.8% burned — not holders that can sell, so excluded from the concentration score. What remains: 16.2% in wallets, 80.0% in other contracts. The deployer/owner wallet itself holds 16.2%. 10,008 holders in total.QA-HOLDERS

Recently launched — less than a day of market history

The token's oldest DEX pool is less than a day old. Age is not part of the risk score — a new token is not a risky one by default — but a short history means fewer trades and holder changes behind the facts in this report.QA-RECENT

Issue

Analysis

AI Copilotas of audit · Oct 24
Executive SummaryWhat the contract is and what the review found

The audit evaluated the DERC20 token contract deployed on Base. The implementation builds on established OpenZeppelin components including ERC20Votes, ERC20Permit, and standard Ownable access controls. Two medium-severity issues were identified relating to privileged inflation minting via updateMintRate and trading restrictions via lockPool and unlockPool state switches.

Technical4/10Medium risk

Under 7.1 Architecture, the contract implements standard OpenZeppelin ERC-20, permit, and governance voting patterns with clean separation of duties. In terms of 7.2 Code Security, the contract relies on Solidity 0.8.26 built-in overflow protection and structured custom errors. However, under 7.3 Access Control, the owner maintains unrestricted control over pool trading states through lockPool and unlockPool functions. Additionally, 7.6 External interaction surfaces are minimal, limiting exposure to untrusted external calls.

Governance3/10High risk

For 7.4 Economic considerations, the contract enforces a hard cap on annual inflation via MAX_YEARLY_MINT_RATE_WAD (maximum 2% per year), protecting holders from runaway dilution. However, under 7.5 Governance, the contract owner possesses unilateral authority to trigger mintInflation during updateMintRate and manipulate pool liquidity status via lockPool. Under 7.8 Operations, multi-sig ownership mitigates single key compromise risks, but operational execution remains centralized without timelocks.

Upgrades4/10Medium risk

Regarding 7.7 Upgrades, the contract is deployed as an immutable non-proxy contract, eliminating logic swap vulnerabilities and storage collision risks. Administrative parameters such as tokenURI and pool settings can be updated directly by the owner without contract recreation. While immutability guarantees core ERC-20 logic cannot be altered maliciously, operational parameter changes still require active governance oversight.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

The development team should place privileged administrative functions, particularly lockPool, unlockPool, and updateMintRate, behind a transparent timelock contract to give token holders advance notice of economic or transfer policy changes.

Additionally, the project should continue managing the contract with a robust multi-signature scheme and consider eventually renouncing or freezing transfer-locking capabilities once liquidity pools are permanently established.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AOP contract address?

The AOP contract on Base is 0x73d36a52a6041788012d086ffc746516895b5920. Compare it with the address the project itself publishes before trading: other contracts can carry the same name and ticker.
