What raised the score
  • Mint capability UNKNOWN
  • Ownership status UNKNOWN
  • LP lock status UNKNOWN — the pool's LP could not be read; this pool is 68% of DEX liquidity
  • Contract source not verified — its logic cannot be read
  • Imitation: presents as Ethereum
Exact factors
  • Mint capability UNKNOWN (implementation ABI unreadable)
  • Ownership status UNKNOWN (owner could not be resolved)
  • LP lock status UNKNOWN — the pool's LP could not be read; this pool is 68% of DEX liquidity
  • Contract source NOT verified — its logic cannot be read
  • Imitation: presents as Ethereum (ETH) but is not its contract

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

Unverified Contract Source Code

The contract source code is not published on the block explorer, making it impossible to audit for malicious functions, backdoors, or logic errors.C-01

Issue

The contract source code is not published on the block explorer, making it impossible to audit for malicious functions, backdoors, or logic errors.

Fix

Publish and verify the source code on the block explorer to allow for community and security review.

Imitation of Ethereum (ETH)

Presents itself as Ethereum (ETH), but CoinGecko lists no Ethereum contract on base at all (CoinGecko). Holders who think they own the real asset own this contract instead; it has none of the real asset's backing, liquidity or redemption.QA-IDENTITY

Issue

Presents itself as Ethereum (ETH), but CoinGecko lists no Ethereum contract on base at all (CoinGecko). Holders who think they own the real asset own this contract instead; it has none of the real asset's backing, liquidity or redemption.

Fix

Do not buy, hold or accept this token as the asset it names. Verify any token address against the issuer's official site.

Asset class: Imitation of Ethereum (ETH)

A token presenting itself under the name or ticker of an established asset without being that asset's contract. Its only reason to borrow that identity is to be mistaken for it. Scored as an imitation (see the identity finding). Basis: behaves as: project token. Tokenomics — Supply: mint capability could not be read. Control: an owner that could not be resolved. Code: not upgradeable (no proxy). Fees: no buy or sell tax. Market: $6.3M of DEX liquidity across 30 pools. Launch: 641 days of market history.QA-PROFILE

Analysis

AI Copilotas of audit · Oct 26
Executive SummaryWhat the contract is and what the review found

The target contract is not verified on the Base block explorer, preventing any static or dynamic analysis of the source code. Without access to the contract logic, it is impossible to verify the presence of backdoors, honeypot mechanisms, or tax functions. Investors should exercise extreme caution as the lack of transparency is a primary indicator of high-risk assets.

Technical4/10Medium risk

7.1 Architecture: Unknown. 7.2 Code Security: Cannot be verified due to lack of source code. 7.3 Access Control: Cannot be audited. 7.6 External: Interactions with external protocols remain opaque.

Governance4/10Medium risk

7.4 Economic: Tokenomics and tax structures are hidden from the user. 7.5 Governance: Potential centralized control mechanisms cannot be identified. The lack of transparency poses a significant risk to capital preservation.

Upgrades4/10Medium risk

7.7 Upgrades: It is impossible to determine if the contract is immutable or utilizes a proxy pattern. 7.8 Operations: Operational security cannot be assessed without contract verification.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

Do not interact with or provide liquidity to this contract. The absence of verified source code is a critical red flag that prevents any assurance of safety or intended functionality.

If the developers intend to build trust, they must verify the contract source code on the block explorer immediately.

Is Ether a scam?

Quantum Audit's risk score for Ether is 97/100 (Critical risk) as of Oct 26, 2026, computed by a deterministic function from on-chain facts — Contract verified: Not verified; Upgradeability: Fixed code. A score is a dated snapshot of those facts, not a guarantee; each one is listed on this page.
