Analysis
AI Copilotas of audit · Sep 22The cbBTC token operates on the standard spl-token program with a total supply of 335,920,214,592 units and 8 decimals. Both the Mint Authority () and Freeze Authority () remain active, posing significant control risks (7.3 Access Control). The token is not balance-mutable, non-transferable, or default-frozen, indicating standard transfer behavior for existing accounts.
The token exhibits a significant holder concentration (7.4 Economic), with the top 10 accounts holding 64.98% of the total supply, which could lead to price volatility from large sell-offs. Liquidity is robust at $6,984,966 USD, and the 24-hour volume of $4,044,613 USD results in a normal Volume/Liquidity Ratio of 0.58, not indicating wash trading. The DEX pair has been active for 662 days, providing a reasonable track record (7.6 External).
The token's metadata is mutable (7.7 Upgrades), meaning its name, symbol, or image can be altered post-launch. Crucially, the Mint Authority and Freeze Authority are still enabled, allowing for potential future changes to supply and account states, which represents a critical upgrade risk. The token does not utilize Token-2022 extensions like transfer hooks or permanent delegates, simplifying its core functionality.
Before interacting with this token, verify on-chain that the Mint Authority has been set to null to prevent arbitrary supply inflation.
Confirm that the Freeze Authority has also been revoked to ensure funds cannot be unilaterally frozen. Monitor the token's metadata for any unexpected changes to its branding or identity.
