Top-10 concentration UNKNOWN — the indexer's holder list adds up to 130.8% 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

Early-stage analysis. This token has limited on-chain history (4h old). New tokens carry elevated risk — data may change rapidly. Always verify independently before investing.

Use of tx.origin for Authorization

The contract uses tx.origin in the transfer path. This is a risky pattern as it can be exploited by malicious intermediary contracts to bypass certain logic checks.CD-02

Issue

The contract uses tx.origin in the transfer path. This is a risky pattern as it can be exploited by malicious intermediary contracts to bypass certain logic checks.

Fix

Replace tx.origin with msg.sender to ensure that the immediate caller is the intended entity.

Precision Loss in Fee Calculation

The _transfer function performs division before multiplication when calculating fees, which can result in rounding errors and slight discrepancies in the amount of tokens transferred or taxed.CD-01

Issue

The _transfer function performs division before multiplication when calculating fees, which can result in rounding errors and slight discrepancies in the amount of tokens transferred or taxed.

Fix

Reorder operations to multiply before dividing to maintain higher precision.

Inert Administrative Switches

Who holds the supply

The holder list from the security indexer adds up to 130.8% 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.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: nobody (ownership renounced). Code: not upgradeable (no proxy). Fees: no buy or sell tax. Market: $46K 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

Fix

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

Analysis

AI Copilotas of audit · Oct 20

Executive SummaryWhat the contract is and what the review found

The contract is a standard ERC-20 token with additional tax, limit, and trading control features. Ownership has been successfully renounced, effectively locking all administrative functions and preventing further changes to the token's economic parameters or transfer rules. The code follows standard patterns for liquidity-taxed tokens, though it contains minor arithmetic and authorization design patterns that are now inert due to the renounced ownership.

Technical6/10Medium risk

The contract implements standard ERC-20 functionality with custom transfer logic. 7.1 Architecture is straightforward, utilizing a single-contract design. 7.2 Code Security shows minor issues like division-before-multiplication in fee calculations, which can lead to precision loss. 7.3 Access Control is robustly handled via the Ownable pattern, which is now permanently renounced.

Governance6/10Medium risk

7.4 Economic and 7.5 Governance parameters are fixed. Since ownership is renounced, no entity can modify buy/sell fees or wallet limits. This provides certainty to holders but prevents any future emergency adjustments to economic parameters.

Upgrades6/10Medium risk

7.7 Upgrades are not supported as the contract is not a proxy. The logic is immutable, ensuring that the current ruleset remains in effect indefinitely. 7.8 Operations are limited to standard token transfers.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

The contract is currently in a safe, immutable state due to the renounced ownership.

No further action is required for the current implementation as the privileged functions are effectively disabled. Users should be aware that the lack of administrative control means that if any logic errors were present in the transfer path, they cannot be patched. The token behaves exactly as defined in the current bytecode.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the DEFERENCE contract address?

The Deference contract on Ethereum is 0xee3a179974997acc5d7dbe8603f60b9e5981fcc4. Compare it with the address the project itself publishes before trading: other contracts can carry the same name and ticker.
