  • Code: Use of tx.origin for Authorization (Medium, static analysis)

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 (2d 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.

Security Findings

1 Medium6 Info
Medium

Use of tx.origin for Authorization

The contract uses tx.origin to determine authorization or logic within the balanceOf function. This is a security risk because an attacker can create a malicious contract that calls the token contract, tricking the logic into identifying the original transaction initiator rather than the immediate caller.CD-01

Issue

The contract uses tx.origin to determine authorization or logic within the balanceOf function. This is a security risk because an attacker can create a malicious contract that calls the token contract, tricking the logic into identifying the original transaction initiator rather than the immediate caller.

Fix

Replace all instances of tx.origin with msg.sender to ensure that authorization and logic are tied to the immediate caller, which is the standard and secure practice for smart contract interactions.

Who holds the supply

The ten largest holders own 12.1% of supply. Of that, 7.4% in DEX pools — not holders that can sell, so excluded from the concentration score. What remains: 3.9% in wallets, 0.8% in other contracts. 697 holders in total.QA-HOLDERS

Fix

Watch the largest wallets that are not exchanges, pools or locks — those are the ones that can move the price.

Recently launched — 2 days of market history

The token's oldest DEX pool is 2 days 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

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 ElGato token is a standard ERC-20 implementation with ownership renounced. The contract logic is straightforward, and the renouncement of ownership effectively disables all administrative functions, mitigating risks associated with centralized control. A minor vulnerability regarding tx.origin usage was identified, though its impact is limited in the current state.

Technical10/10Low risk

The contract follows standard ERC-20 patterns with 7.1 Architecture and 7.2 Code Security being well-implemented. 7.3 Access Control is currently inert due to ownership renouncement, ensuring no further administrative changes can occur. 7.6 External dependencies are minimal, relying on standard OpenZeppelin-like libraries for arithmetic and ownership.

Governance8/10Low risk

7.4 Economic and 7.5 Governance risks are effectively nullified by the renouncement of ownership. There are no active governance mechanisms or inflationary parameters that can be adjusted by any party. The token economy is fixed, providing stability for holders.

Upgrades10/10Low risk

7.7 Upgrades are not supported as the contract is not a proxy. 7.8 Operations are static, meaning the contract behavior is immutable. No upgrade risk exists for this implementation.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

The protocol is currently in a secure, immutable state due to the renouncement of ownership.

No further action is required for the current deployment as administrative functions are permanently disabled. For future deployments, ensure that any use of tx.origin is replaced with msg.sender to prevent potential phishing or contract-based authorization bypasses, even if the current impact is negligible.
