Exact factors
  • Mintable supply — no cap found, dilution unbounded
  • Top-10 concentration > 20% (26.5% total → 26.5% effective; 26.5% in EOAs, 0.0% in contracts — mild)
  • Liquidity NOT locked (owner can withdraw — rug-pull risk)
  • LP top1 unlocked holder = 100.0% (exit-liquidity risk, pool = 66% of DEX liquidity)
  • LP top3 unlocked holders = 100.0% (exit-liquidity risk, pool = 66% of DEX liquidity)
  • 1 Critical finding(s) from audit
  • 1 Low finding(s) from audit

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

Analysis

AI Copilotas of audit · Sep 22
Executive SummaryWhat the contract is and what the review found

This audit of the Helium Network Token (HNT) mint identifies a critical risk due to the active mint authority, which allows for unlimited token creation and potential dilution of all holders. Additionally, the token's metadata is mutable, meaning its name, symbol, or image can be altered post-launch. While chain-native RPC holder distribution data was unavailable, third-party data indicates a moderate holder concentration.

Technical6/10Medium risk

The Helium Network Token (HNT) is an SPL token operating under the classic spl-token program. A significant technical risk is the active mint authority, held by , which enables the creation of new tokens at any time (7.3 Access Control). The freeze authority, however, has been revoked, preventing the freezing of holder accounts. The token does not utilize advanced Token-2022 extensions such as balance mutability, transfer hooks, or default frozen account states, indicating a simpler token configuration (7.1 Architecture).

Governance1/10High risk

The economic stability of HNT shows moderate holder concentration, with the top 10 accounts holding 25.99% of the supply, which is below thresholds for high concern (7.4 Economic). The token has substantial liquidity, with $777,906 USD available on DEXs, and a healthy 24-hour trading volume of $3,742,515 USD. The Volume/Liquidity Ratio is 4.81, which is considered normal and does not suggest wash trading. The DEX pair has been active for 1225 days, providing a long track record (7.6 External).

Upgrades4/10Medium risk

The mint authority for HNT is currently active at , allowing for potential changes to the total supply (7.7 Upgrades). In contrast, the freeze authority has been revoked, ensuring that existing token accounts cannot be frozen. The token's metadata is mutable, meaning its name, symbol, or image can be changed after launch, which could impact branding and trust (7.7 Upgrades). The token does not use Token-2022 extensions, thus no related upgradeability concerns apply.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

Before engaging with this token, verify on-chain that the mint authority has been permanently revoked to ensure the token supply is fixed and immune to arbitrary inflation.

Monitor the token's metadata for any unauthorized changes to its name, symbol, or image, as these can be altered due to the mutable metadata flag. Regularly check the token's official communication channels for any announcements regarding authority changes or supply adjustments.
