  • Code: Incorrect Return Value Handling in Transfer Functions
Exact factors
  • Liquidity < $50k ($18,728 across 1 pairs — thin market)
  • Top-10 concentration > 20% (40.1% total → 27.6% effective; 19.2% in EOAs, 20.9% in contracts)
  • Code: Incorrect Return Value Handling in Transfer Functions (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

Early-stage analysis. This token has limited on-chain history (13h 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.

Incorrect Return Value Handling in Transfer Functions

The functions MAxTradingIdentifierLimits, _transfer, returnTx, transfer, and transferFrom exhibit inconsistent or incorrect return value handling. This violates the ERC-20 specification, which requires these functions to return a boolean indicating success or failure.CD-01

Issue

The functions MAxTradingIdentifierLimits, _transfer, returnTx, transfer, and transferFrom exhibit inconsistent or incorrect return value handling. This violates the ERC-20 specification, which requires these functions to return a boolean indicating success or failure.

Fix

Ensure that all transfer-related functions explicitly return the boolean result of the underlying transfer operation to maintain compatibility with standard DeFi interfaces.

Issue

The ten largest holders own 40.1% of supply. What remains: 19.2% in wallets, 20.9% in other contracts. 108 holders in total.

Fix

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

Asset class: Meme token

A community token whose value comes from attention rather than a product. Being a meme is not a risk in itself: it is scored on exactly the same contract and market facts as any other token. The class itself adds no points; the contract and market facts decide the score. Basis: meme vocabulary in name/ticker (pepe). Tokenomics — Supply: fixed — the contract has no mint function. Control: an owner that could not be resolved. Code: not upgradeable (no proxy). Fees: no buy or sell tax. Market: $19K of DEX liquidity across 1 pools. Launch: under a day of market history.QA-PROFILE

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

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.

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 30
Executive SummaryWhat the contract is and what the review found

The HYPEPE contract is a standard ERC-20 token implementation. The audit identified a critical logic flaw in the transfer mechanism where the return value of internal transfer functions is ignored or incorrectly handled, potentially causing integration issues with external protocols that rely on standard ERC-20 return values.

Technical8/10Low risk

The contract follows standard ERC-20 patterns for balance tracking and allowance management. 7.1 Architecture is simple and modular, relying on standard OpenZeppelin-like structures. 7.2 Code Security is compromised by the identified return value issue in the transfer path. 7.3 Access Control is absent as there are no privileged roles or administrative functions defined.

Governance8/10Low risk

7.4 Economic and 7.5 Governance are not applicable as the contract lacks minting, burning, or administrative control mechanisms. The token supply is fixed upon deployment. There are no external dependencies or oracle integrations (7.6 External).

Upgrades8/10Low risk

7.7 Upgrades are not supported as the contract is a standard, non-proxy implementation. 7.8 Operations are straightforward with no complex state transitions. The contract is immutable by design.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

The development team should refactor the transfer logic to ensure that all internal transfer operations correctly propagate and validate return values to comply with the ERC-20 standard.

This will prevent compatibility issues with decentralized exchanges and lending protocols that expect a boolean return value.
