Executive SummaryAI Copilot

The FT contract is an ERC-20 token with LayerZero OFT capabilities, inheriting from multiple base contracts including Ownable and Pausable. The contract exhibits a robust set of standard token functionalities. However, the audit identified a high-severity issue related to state variable shadowing and a medium-severity issue concerning privileged token minting, which could lead to token dilution if not properly managed. The contract is not upgradeable, which simplifies its lifecycle but means any discovered vulnerabilities would require a new deployment.

Security Findings

High

Shadowing State Variable Detected

CD-01The contract contains a state variable that is 'shadowing' another variable, likely from an inherited contract. This means two variables with the same name exist in different scopes, which can lead to confusion, unexpected behavior, or logical errors if the wrong variable is accessed or modified in certain contexts. This could impact how the contract stores and retrieves critical data.

This could impact how the contract stores and retrieves critical data.
FixToken holders should be aware that a technical issue with state variable management exists. It is strongly recommended to identify and rename the shadowed state variable to ensure unique identification and prevent potential bugs. This will improve the contract's reliability and predictability, ensuring that all operations, including transfers and balances, function correctly.

Privileged Address Can Mint New Tokens

CP-01The 'endpoint' address has the ability to create new tokens by calling functions such as `send(SendParam,MessagingFee,address)`, `lzReceiveSimulate(Origin,bytes32,bytes,address,bytes)`, and `lzReceive(Origin,bytes32,bytes,address,bytes)`. This means that the total supply of tokens can be increased without explicit governance approval, which could dilute the value for existing token holders.

This means that the total supply of tokens can be increased without explicit governance approval, which could dilute the value for existing token holders.
FixToken holders should be aware that the 'endpoint' address can mint new tokens. It is recommended to ensure that the 'endpoint' address is controlled by a secure, multi-signature wallet or a robust governance mechanism. Consider implementing additional checks or a time-lock for minting operations to provide transparency and allow token holders to react.

Category Ratings

TechnicalLow7/10

The FT contract implements ERC-20 token standards and integrates LayerZero OFT functionalities, demonstrating a complex architecture (7.1 Architecture). The contract includes owner-restricted functions for administrative tasks such as setting message inspectors, enforced options, and peer addresses (7.3 Access Control). A significant concern is the potential for token dilution due to privileged minting capabilities by the 'endpoint' address via functions like `send` and `lzReceive` (7.2 Code Security). Additionally, a high-severity shadowing state issue was identified, which can lead to unexpected behavior (7.2 Code Security).

GovernanceHigh2/10

The contract employs an `Ownable` pattern, where a multisig wallet with a 3-of-5 threshold controls critical administrative functions, enhancing security against single points of failure (7.5 Governance). However, the 'endpoint' address, which is not explicitly stated to be controlled by the owner, possesses the ability to mint new tokens through functions like `send` and `lzReceive` (7.4 Economic). This capability allows for an increase in the total supply, potentially diluting existing token holders if misused or compromised. The owner can also change the token's name and symbol, which could impact branding (7.4 Economic).

UpgradesMedium4/10

The FT contract is not designed as an upgradeable proxy, meaning its logic cannot be modified after deployment (7.7 Upgrades). This eliminates upgrade-related risks such as proxy misconfigurations or logic bugs introduced during upgrades. However, it also means that any discovered vulnerabilities or desired feature enhancements would necessitate a new contract deployment and migration process.

Holder Composition

0.0% in wallets98.8% in contracts
Effective Concentration39.5%

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.

The risk score reads depth across every pair. The volume figure and the volume-to-liquidity ratio elsewhere on this page describe only the pair this audit analysed, so the two are not directly comparable.

What Raised This Score

  • Hidden owner — control survives an apparent renounce
  • Owner can pause all transfers
  • Mintable supply — no cap found, dilution unbounded; held by endpoint: Other-Contract
  • Liquidity NOT locked (100% of the pool; this pool is 40% of DEX liquidity) — held by independent providers — market-depth risk
  • Top-10 concentration > 30% (98.8% total → 39.5% effective; 0.0% in EOAs, 98.8% in contracts)
  • Code: Shadowing State Variable Detected (High, 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
