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 (5d 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.

Centralized Control Over Token Logic

The contract allows a privileged role to change the addresses of the Compliance and PauseManager contracts. Because all token transfers depend on these external contracts, an administrator can effectively halt all transfers or bypass compliance checks at will.CP-03

Issue

The contract allows a privileged role to change the addresses of the Compliance and PauseManager contracts. Because all token transfers depend on these external contracts, an administrator can effectively halt all transfers or bypass compliance checks at will.

Fix

Implement a multi-signature wallet for the administrative role and consider adding a timelock to any function that updates critical external contract dependencies.

Status

Unresolved

Medium

Administrative Control Over Transfer Fees

The setUIMultiplier function allows privileged roles to modify the transfer fee structure. This gives the administrator the ability to change the cost of moving tokens without prior notice to token holders.CP-07

Issue

The setUIMultiplier function allows privileged roles to modify the transfer fee structure. This gives the administrator the ability to change the cost of moving tokens without prior notice to token holders.

Fix

Document the fee adjustment policy clearly and implement a notice period or a cap on how frequently or drastically fees can be adjusted.

Medium

Liquidity not locked

0.0% of the pool's LP is burned or time-locked. 96.4% is held, unlocked, by 10 address(es) other than the owner/deployer. No single one holds a majority: their exits thin the market rather than hand anyone the pool. Some pools are concentrated-liquidity (V3/V4) positions; shares above are by position as GoPlus reports them.QA-LIQUIDITY

Check the lock's end date and beneficiary on the locker's own page before relying on it.

Administrative Control Over Transfer Limits

Privileged roles can modify numeric limits related to transaction sizes or wallet thresholds via the setUIMultiplier function. This allows the administrator to restrict or enable specific transfer behaviors arbitrarily.CP-08

Issue

Privileged roles can modify numeric limits related to transaction sizes or wallet thresholds via the setUIMultiplier function. This allows the administrator to restrict or enable specific transfer behaviors arbitrarily.

Fix

Ensure that any changes to transfer limits are communicated to the community and governed by a transparent policy.

Who holds the supply

The ten largest holders own 99.4% of supply. Of that, 1.2% in DEX pools — not holders that can sell, so excluded from the concentration score. What remains: 96.3% in wallets, 1.9% in other contracts. 3,658 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.

Asset class: Tokenized real-world asset

A token backed by an off-chain asset (a stock, gold, treasury bills, a fund share) held by a named issuer or custodian. Issuance, redemption and transfer restrictions are the issuer's by design. The class itself adds no points; the contract and market facts decide the score. Basis: CoinGecko category: Tokenized Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). Tokenomics — Supply: mintable with no on-chain cap found. Control: an owner that could not be resolved. Code: upgradeable proxy. Fees: no buy or sell tax. Market: $222K of DEX liquidity across 30 pools. Launch: 5 days of market history.QA-PROFILE

Recently launched — 5 days of market history

Issue

The token's oldest DEX pool is 5 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.

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 SecuritiesToken is an upgradeable ERC-20 implementation designed for regulated asset issuance. It utilizes a robust role-based access control system and modular compliance/pause logic. While the architecture is modular, the high degree of administrative control over core transfer logic and external dependencies introduces significant centralization risks.

Technical6/10Medium risk

The contract follows standard OpenZeppelin upgradeable patterns (7.1 Architecture) and implements secure ERC-20 logic (7.2 Code Security). Access control is strictly enforced via AccessControlEnumerable (7.3 Access Control). However, the reliance on external compliance and pause manager contracts (7.6 External) creates a single point of failure if those addresses are compromised.

Governance1/10High risk

Governance is centralized under administrative roles (7.5 Governance). Economic parameters like transfer fees and UI multipliers are fully adjustable by privileged roles (7.4 Economic). This allows for dynamic regulation but requires high trust in the administrative keys.

Upgrades1/10High risk

The contract utilizes a Beacon proxy pattern (7.7 Upgrades), allowing for standardized upgrades across multiple instances. Operations (7.8 Operations) are well-defined through explicit setter functions. The upgradeability mechanism is standard and well-implemented.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

To mitigate centralization risks, it is recommended to transition administrative roles to a multi-signature wallet or a decentralized governance contract.

This ensures that critical changes to compliance, pause managers, and economic multipliers require consensus rather than a single point of failure. Additionally, implement a timelock mechanism for all sensitive administrative functions. This provides transparency and allows users to react to significant changes in token logic or economic parameters before they take effect.
