The LADDER contract is an ERC-20 token with custom liquidity management and tax features. Ownership has been renounced, effectively locking the administrative functions and mitigating risks associated with centralized control. The contract contains minor arithmetic inefficiencies and trapped ETH, but the core transfer logic is protected by the immutable state.

Exact factors
- LP lock status UNKNOWN — the pool's LP could not be read
- Top-10 concentration > 30% (99.8% total → 40.5% effective; 1.0% in EOAs, 98.8% in contracts)
- Code: Rounding Loss in Fee Calculation (Low, static analysis)
- Code: Trapped ETH in Contract (Medium, 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

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.

Security Findings
MediumTrapped ETH in Contract
The contract includes a receive function allowing it to accept ETH, but it lacks any mechanism to withdraw or transfer that ETH out.CD-02
Issue
The contract includes a receive function allowing it to accept ETH, but it lacks any mechanism to withdraw or transfer that ETH out.
Fix
Implement a withdrawal function restricted to a secure address or DAO, or remove the receive function if ETH deposits are not intended.
Status
Unresolved
LowRounding Loss in Fee Calculation
The calculateFee function performs division before multiplication, which can lead to precision loss during fee calculations.CD-01
Issue
The calculateFee function performs division before multiplication, which can lead to precision loss during fee calculations.
Fix
Reorder operations to perform multiplication before division to maintain higher precision.

Analysis
AI Copilotas of audit · Oct 26The contract implements standard ERC-20 functionality with additional tax and liquidity hooks. 7.1 Architecture: Uses a standard Ownable pattern with custom liquidity initialization. 7.2 Code Security: Logic is generally sound, though it contains minor rounding issues and trapped ETH. 7.3 Access Control: All privileged functions are restricted to the owner, and ownership is now renounced.
7.4 Economic: The token includes tax mechanisms and liquidity rebalancing logic. 7.5 Governance: Governance is non-existent as ownership is renounced. 7.6 External: The contract relies on external liquidity pairs and routers, which are now fixed due to renounced ownership.
7.7 Upgrades: The contract is not upgradeable. 7.8 Operations: Operational control is permanently disabled via ownership renouncement, preventing any future changes to the protocol parameters.
Since ownership is renounced, no further administrative actions can be taken.
Users should be aware that the contract lacks standard ERC-20 view functions, which may affect integration with certain dApps or portfolio trackers. Any ETH sent to this contract will be permanently locked as there is no withdrawal mechanism. Ensure that interactions with the contract are performed through the intended liquidity pool interfaces to avoid unexpected behavior.
