Executive SummaryAI Copilot

The CosmosERC20 contract is a standard ERC-20 token implementation. Static analysis and review of key functions revealed no critical, high, or medium severity vulnerabilities. The contract lacks privileged functions, meaning no single entity can control transfers or modify core token behavior. This design contributes to a low overall risk profile.

Liquidity not locked

QA-LIQUIDITY0.0% of the pool's LP is burned or time-locked. 100.0% is held, unlocked, by 1 address(es) other than the owner/deployer. One of them — a wallet, 0x9960…25f8 — holds 100.0% and can remove that share at once; who controls it is not visible on-chain, so it is not treated as an independent provider. Some pools are concentrated-liquidity (V3/V4) positions; shares above are by position as GoPlus reports them. This assessment covers the main pool, which holds 92% of the token's DEX liquidity; the other pools were not assessed.

What the token's controller can do

QA-POWERSThe contract lets its controller — an owner that could not be resolved — mint new supply. Nothing independent vouches for whoever holds them, so each is a live risk to holders.

Who holds the supply

QA-HOLDERSThe holder list from the security indexer adds up to 1.0388480599486825e+62% of supply, so it does not describe real balances. That happens with rebasing and reflection tokens, whose balances change without transfers, and with contracts that report balances they do not hold. Concentration is unknown and priced as an unknown — neither a whale nor safe.

Category Ratings

TechnicalLow8/10

The CosmosERC20 contract implements a standard ERC-20 token (7.1 Architecture). All core ERC-20 functions are present and appear to adhere to the standard. The code map indicates no privileged functions, meaning no specific address can alter transfer logic or token balances outside of standard ERC-20 operations (7.3 Access Control). This design minimizes technical attack vectors, as there are no special administrative controls to exploit (7.2 Code Security). No technical vulnerabilities were identified.

GovernanceMedium6/10

The contract exhibits a decentralized economic model as it lacks any privileged functions that could influence token transfers or supply (7.4 Economic). There are no governance mechanisms or roles defined within the contract, ensuring that no single entity can unilaterally control the token's behavior (7.5 Governance). This design choice eliminates risks associated with centralized control or potential manipulation by an owner or administrator.

UpgradesMedium6/10

The CosmosERC20 contract is not implemented as a proxy and is therefore not upgradeable (7.7 Upgrades). This means its logic is immutable once deployed, eliminating upgrade-related risks such as malicious upgrade paths or proxy misconfigurations. While immutability prevents future feature enhancements or bug fixes, it provides a high degree of certainty regarding the contract's long-term behavior.

What Raised This Score

4 factors
  • Mintable supply — no cap found, dilution unbounded
  • Liquidity NOT locked (100% of the pool; this pool is 92% of DEX liquidity) — held by independent providers — market-depth risk
  • Liquidity < $50k ($49,604 across 3 pairs — thin market)
  • Top-10 concentration UNKNOWN — the indexer's holder list adds up to 1.0388480599486825e+62% of supply

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
