  • Liquidity NOT locked (100% of the pool) — who holds it cannot be verified
  • Volume/Liquidity > 15× (17.8× — wash-trading signal)

  • Contract source NOT verified — its logic cannot be read

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 (15h 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.

Info

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 21
Executive SummaryWhat the contract is and what the review found

The contract at the provided address is not verified on the Base block explorer. Consequently, the source code is inaccessible for security analysis. Investors should exercise extreme caution as the lack of transparency prevents verification of ownership, tax mechanisms, or liquidity lock status.

Technical6/10Medium risk

7.1 Architecture: Unknown. 7.2 Code Security: Cannot be verified due to lack of source code. 7.3 Access Control: Cannot be verified. 7.6 External: Interactions with external protocols cannot be audited.

Governance1/10High risk

7.4 Economic: Tokenomics and tax logic are hidden from public view. 7.5 Governance: Potential backdoors or centralized control mechanisms cannot be ruled out. Economic risks are elevated due to the inability to confirm liquidity safety.

Upgrades5/10Medium risk

7.7 Upgrades: It is impossible to determine if the contract is upgradeable or if the owner has the ability to modify logic post-deployment. 7.8 Operations: Operational security cannot be assessed without source code visibility.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

Do not interact with this contract. Without verified source code, it is impossible to distinguish between a legitimate project and a malicious contract designed to drain funds or prevent selling.

Verify the contract on the block explorer and conduct a thorough audit before considering any capital allocation.
