Exact factors
  • Ownership status UNKNOWN (owner could not be resolved)
  • Liquidity NOT locked (100% of the pool) — who holds it cannot be verified
  • Liquidity < $50k ($33,439 across 1 pairs — thin market)
  • Top-10 concentration > 70% (79.1% total → 79.0% effective; 79.0% in EOAs, 0.0% in contracts; deployer/owner holds 78.9%)

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 (1d 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.

Who holds the supply

The ten largest holders own 79.1% of supply. What remains: 79.0% in wallets, 0.0% in other contracts. The deployer/owner wallet itself holds 78.9%. A holder that also controls the contract can sell into its own liquidity. 2,114 holders in total.QA-HOLDERS

Issue

The ten largest holders own 79.1% of supply. What remains: 79.0% in wallets, 0.0% in other contracts. The deployer/owner wallet itself holds 78.9%. A holder that also controls the contract can sell into its own liquidity. 2,114 holders in total.

Fix

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

Lack of Input Validation

Not confirmed by static analysis (the model's own reading of the source). The 'feeWallet' address is not validated, potentially allowing transfers to be sent to an uninitialized or malicious contract.M-01

Issue

Not confirmed by static analysis (the model's own reading of the source). The 'feeWallet' address is not validated, potentially allowing transfers to be sent to an uninitialized or malicious contract.

Fix

Add a check to ensure the feeWallet address is not the zero address and is a trusted contract.

Unsafe External Call to Fee Wallet

Not confirmed by static analysis (the model's own reading of the source). The 'transfer' and 'transferFrom' functions call 'self.feeWallet.send(value = self.balance)'. This attempts to send the entire contract balance to the fee wallet on every transfer, which will drain the contract of all native tokens.M-02

Issue

Not confirmed by static analysis (the model's own reading of the source). The 'transfer' and 'transferFrom' functions call 'self.feeWallet.send(value = self.balance)'. This attempts to send the entire contract balance to the fee wallet on every transfer, which will drain the contract of all native tokens.

Fix

Remove the automatic balance transfer logic. If fees are required, implement a specific fee calculation based on the transaction amount, not the contract balance.

Reentrancy Vulnerability

Issue

Not confirmed by static analysis (the model's own reading of the source). The contract performs an external call to 'feeWallet' before updating internal balances, creating a reentrancy vector.

Fix

Follow the Checks-Effects-Interactions pattern. Update all internal state variables before making any external calls.

Irreversible Ownership Lock

Issue

Not confirmed by static analysis (the model's own reading of the source). The constructor sets the owner to the zero address, permanently locking any administrative functions that might be added in the future.

Set the owner to a secure multisig or a DAO address during deployment.

Liquidity not locked

0.0% of the pool's LP is burned or time-locked. 100.0% is held, unlocked, by 1 address(es) other than the owner/deployer. One of them — a contract, 0x73a2…3aeb — holds 100.0% and can remove that share at once; who controls it is not visible on-chain, so it is not treated as an independent provider. Some pools are concentrated-liquidity (V3/V4) positions; shares above are by position as GoPlus reports them.QA-LIQUIDITY

Redundant State Variables

Analysis

AI Copilotas of audit · Nov 6
Executive SummaryWhat the contract is and what the review found

The KieDex token contract implements a standard ERC-20 interface with an integrated fee-redirection mechanism. The contract exhibits critical flaws regarding external calls and state management that could lead to total loss of contract funds.

Technical8/10Low risk

The architecture follows a standard ERC-20 pattern but introduces a dangerous fee-redirection logic. 7.1 Architecture: The contract uses a simple state-based transfer mechanism. 7.2 Code Security: The use of 'self.balance' in a 'send' call within transfer functions is highly insecure. 7.3 Access Control: Ownership transfer is hardcoded to the zero address, preventing future administrative updates.

Governance1/10High risk

7.4 Economic: The token lacks deflationary or inflationary mechanics beyond the fee redirection. 7.5 Governance: No governance mechanisms are implemented. 7.6 External: The contract relies on an external 'feeWallet' which is not validated for security.

Upgrades5/10Medium risk

7.7 Upgrades: The contract is immutable and does not support proxy patterns. 7.8 Operations: Operational security is limited by the lack of administrative control over the fee destination.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

Immediate remediation is required to remove the 'self.balance' transfer logic, which exposes the contract to potential drainage.

Implement standard reentrancy guards and ensure that external calls to the fee wallet are strictly controlled and validated.
