What raised the score
  • Mintable supply — no cap found, dilution unbounded
  • Upgradeable proxy — the admin can replace the logic
  • Non-standard proxy
  • Ownership status UNKNOWN
  • Liquidity not locked
  • Code: Trapped ETH in Contract
Exact factors
  • Mintable supply — no cap found, dilution unbounded
  • Upgradeable proxy — the admin can replace the logic
  • Non-standard proxy (opaque upgrade path)
  • Ownership status UNKNOWN (owner could not be resolved)
  • Liquidity NOT locked (100% of the pool; this pool is 49% of DEX liquidity) — held by independent providers — market-depth risk
  • 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

3 Medium4 Info
Medium

Trapped ETH in Contract

The contract can receive ETH through meta-transactions or direct transfers but lacks a withdrawal function to move these funds out, leading to permanent loss of any ETH sent to the contract address.CD-01

Issue

The contract can receive ETH through meta-transactions or direct transfers but lacks a withdrawal function to move these funds out, leading to permanent loss of any ETH sent to the contract address.

Fix

Implement a function that allows the owner to withdraw any ETH accidentally sent to the contract.

Status

Unresolved

Medium

Centralized Minting Authority

The deposit function allows addresses with the DEPOSITOR_ROLE to mint new tokens, which increases the total supply and dilutes existing holders. This is a powerful administrative privilege.CP-01

Issue

The deposit function allows addresses with the DEPOSITOR_ROLE to mint new tokens, which increases the total supply and dilutes existing holders. This is a powerful administrative privilege.

Fix

Restrict the DEPOSITOR_ROLE to a multi-signature wallet or a time-locked contract to prevent single-point-of-failure risks.

Status

Unresolved

Medium

Liquidity not locked

0.0% of the pool's LP is burned or time-locked. 59.4% 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. This assessment covers the main pool, which holds 49% of the token's DEX liquidity; the other pools were not assessed.QA-LIQUIDITY

Who holds the supply

The ten largest holders own 40.1% of supply. Of that, 19.6% in DEX pools — not holders that can sell, so excluded from the concentration score. What remains: 15.3% in wallets, 5.3% in other contracts. 29,274 holders in total.QA-HOLDERS

Analysis

AI Copilotas of audit · Oct 29
Executive SummaryWhat the contract is and what the review found

The UChildERC20 contract functions as a bridge-compatible token on Polygon. It utilizes standard OpenZeppelin access control and proxy patterns. While the core ERC-20 logic is standard, the contract contains centralized minting capabilities and a lack of mechanisms to recover accidentally sent ETH, which are common in bridge-token implementations.

Technical7/10Low risk

The architecture follows standard proxy patterns (7.1) and utilizes well-vetted OpenZeppelin libraries for access control (7.3). Code security (7.2) is high due to the use of established standards, though the lack of ETH recovery (7.8) is a functional oversight. External dependencies (7.6) are minimal and well-integrated.

Governance5/10Medium risk

Economic risk (7.4) is centered on the minting authority held by the DEPOSITOR_ROLE. Governance (7.5) is centralized, allowing the owner or designated roles to influence supply. This is typical for bridge tokens but represents a trust-based risk for holders.

Upgrades1/10High risk

The contract utilizes a proxy pattern (7.7) allowing for logic updates. Upgrades are managed via standard administrative roles, ensuring a controlled path for maintenance. No issues were identified in the upgrade implementation logic.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

The protocol should implement a 'sweep' function to allow the owner to recover accidentally sent ETH, preventing permanent loss of funds.

Additionally, the minting authority should be monitored via multi-signature wallets or timelocks to mitigate the risk of unauthorized supply inflation.
