Executive SummaryAI Copilot

The OptimismMintableERC20 contract functions as a standard ERC-20 token with a specific minting capability. A key finding is that a designated 'bridge' address has the power to mint new tokens, which can increase the total supply and dilute existing token holders. This introduces a centralized point of control over the token's supply, which is a common pattern for cross-chain tokens but requires careful consideration of the bridge's security.

Who holds the supply

QA-HOLDERSThe ten largest holders own 91.3% of supply. What remains: 20.6% in wallets, 70.7% in other contracts. The deployer/owner wallet itself holds 23.0%. A holder that also controls the contract can sell into its own liquidity. 486 holders in total.

Liquidity not locked

QA-LIQUIDITY0.0% of the pool's LP is burned or time-locked. 34.9% is held, unlocked, by the token's owner/deployer (0x1b4f…bd89) — they can pull that liquidity at any moment. This is the rug-pull path. 65.1% is held, unlocked, by 2 address(es) other than the owner/deployer. One of them — a contract, 0x3b46…0361 — holds 63.6% 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.

Category Ratings

TechnicalMedium4/10

The OptimismMintableERC20 contract implements the ERC-20 standard, providing core functionalities like `transfer`, `balanceOf`, and `approve` (7.1 Architecture). The contract includes a `mint` function, which allows a designated 'bridge' address to create new tokens (7.3 Access Control). This function directly modifies the token's total supply and individual balances. While the ERC-20 implementation appears standard, the centralized control over token minting by the bridge introduces a technical risk regarding supply management (7.2 Code Security).

GovernanceHigh1/10

The economic model of this token is directly impacted by the `mint` function, which allows the 'bridge' to increase the total supply (7.4 Economic). This capability, while potentially necessary for cross-chain bridging operations, means that the value of existing tokens could be diluted if new tokens are minted without corresponding value creation. There is no explicit governance mechanism within the contract itself to control or limit this minting power (7.5 Governance), relying instead on the security and operational integrity of the 'bridge' controller.

UpgradesHigh2/10

The contract is not designed as an upgradeable proxy (7.7 Upgrades), meaning its logic cannot be modified after deployment. This reduces the risk of future logic changes introducing new vulnerabilities but also means any discovered issues would require a new deployment and migration. The immutability provides certainty regarding the contract's behavior over time.

Holder Composition

91.3% in top 10
20.6% in wallets70.7% in contracts
Effective Concentration48.9%

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.

What Raised This Score

6 factors
  • Owner can change any holder's balance (seize or credit tokens); held by bridge: Other-Contract
  • Hidden owner — control survives an apparent renounce; held by bridge: Other-Contract
  • Mintable supply — no cap found, dilution unbounded; held by bridge: Other-Contract
  • Ownership status UNKNOWN (owner could not be resolved)
  • Liquidity NOT locked (100% of the pool; this pool is 100% of DEX liquidity) — withdrawable by the owner/deployer — rug-pull risk
  • Top-10 concentration > 30% (91.3% total → 48.9% effective; 20.6% in EOAs, 70.7% in contracts; deployer/owner holds 23.0%)

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
