Exact factors
  • Mint capability UNKNOWN (implementation ABI unreadable)
  • Ownership status UNKNOWN (owner could not be resolved)
  • Liquidity NOT locked (100% of the pool) — held by independent providers — market-depth risk
  • Top-10 concentration > 70% (88.4% total → 75.1% effective; 75.1% in EOAs, 0.0% in contracts; 13.3% 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 (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.

Who holds the supply

The ten largest holders own 88.4% of supply. Of that, 13.3% in DEX pools — not holders that can sell, so excluded from the concentration score. What remains: 75.1% in wallets, 0.0% in other contracts. The deployer/owner wallet itself holds 8.7%. 2,178 holders in total.QA-HOLDERS

Asset class: Project token

A token issued by a project for use, governance or fundraising. Scored on its contract and market facts. The class itself adds no points; the contract and market facts decide the score. Basis: no class-specific evidence. Tokenomics — Supply: mint capability could not be read. Control: an owner that could not be resolved. Code: not upgradeable (no proxy). Fees: no buy or sell tax. Market: $272K of DEX liquidity across 1 pools. Launch: under a day of market history.QA-PROFILE

Info

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

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.

Fix

Re-check ownership, liquidity and holder distribution as the token matures; those are the facts that move early.

Analysis

AI Copilotas of audit · Nov 7
Executive SummaryWhat the contract is and what the review found

The contract at the provided address is not verified on the Arbitrum block explorer. Consequently, the source code is unavailable for security analysis. Investors should exercise extreme caution as the lack of transparency prevents verification of ownership, tax mechanisms, or potential backdoors.

Technical6/10Medium risk

The technical architecture cannot be evaluated due to the absence of verified source code. 7.1 Architecture, 7.2 Code Security, 7.3 Access Control, and 7.6 External dependencies remain entirely opaque. Without bytecode analysis, it is impossible to determine if the contract contains malicious functions or standard ERC-20 compliance.

Governance1/10High risk

Economic parameters such as 7.4 Economic and 7.5 Governance are unverifiable. There is no visibility into minting capabilities, tax logic, or ownership privileges. Investors are exposed to potential rug-pull risks as the contract logic remains hidden from the public.

Upgrades6/10Medium risk

7.7 Upgrades and 7.8 Operations cannot be assessed. It is unknown if the contract utilizes proxy patterns or immutable logic. The lack of verification prevents confirmation of whether the contract is upgradeable or if the owner can modify core parameters post-deployment.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

Do not interact with or provide liquidity to this contract until the source code is verified on the block explorer.

Verify the contract through the standard compiler verification process to allow for a comprehensive security audit.
