Exact factors
  • Liquidity < $50k ($13,420 across 1 pairs — thin market)
  • Top-10 concentration > 20% (39.4% total → 22.3% effective; 10.9% in EOAs, 28.5% in contracts)
  • Code: Incorrect Return Values in Transfer Functions (High, static analysis)
  • Code: Insecure Use of tx.origin for Authorization (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

Early-stage analysis. This token has limited on-chain history (7h 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.

Incorrect Return Values in Transfer Functions

The _transfer, transfer, and transferFrom functions fail to correctly handle or return the expected boolean values required by the ERC-20 standard. This can cause external smart contracts that rely on these return values to fail or behave unpredictably.CD-01

Issue

The _transfer, transfer, and transferFrom functions fail to correctly handle or return the expected boolean values required by the ERC-20 standard. This can cause external smart contracts that rely on these return values to fail or behave unpredictably.

Fix

Update the transfer and transferFrom functions to explicitly return 'true' upon successful execution and ensure the internal _transfer logic does not interfere with the expected standard behavior.

Status

Unresolved

Medium

Insecure Use of tx.origin for Authorization

The returnTx function uses tx.origin to determine authorization or enforce rules. This is a security risk because an attacker can trick a user into calling a malicious contract that then calls the MINIMAL token, allowing the attacker to bypass intended restrictions.CD-02

Issue

The returnTx function uses tx.origin to determine authorization or enforce rules. This is a security risk because an attacker can trick a user into calling a malicious contract that then calls the MINIMAL token, allowing the attacker to bypass intended restrictions.

Fix

Replace all instances of tx.origin with msg.sender to ensure that authorization is checked against the immediate caller, which is the standard practice for secure smart contract development.

Issue

The ten largest holders own 39.4% of supply. What remains: 10.9% in wallets, 28.5% in other contracts. 216 holders in total.

Fix

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

Asset class: Project token

A token issued by a project for use, governance or fundraising. Scored on its contract and market facts. The class itself adds no points; the contract and market facts decide the score. Basis: no class-specific evidence. Tokenomics — Supply: fixed — the contract has no mint function. Control: an owner that could not be resolved. Code: not upgradeable (no proxy). Fees: no buy or sell tax. Market: $13K of DEX liquidity across 1 pools. Launch: under a day of market history.QA-PROFILE

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 31
Executive SummaryWhat the contract is and what the review found

The MINIMAL contract is a standard ERC-20 implementation with critical flaws in its transfer logic and authorization mechanisms. The token lacks administrative controls, which prevents rug-pulls but also limits the ability to patch the identified vulnerabilities. The protocol relies on insecure patterns that could lead to unexpected behavior in integrated DeFi applications.

Technical8/10Low risk

The architecture follows standard ERC-20 patterns but introduces logic errors in the transfer path. 7.1 Architecture is standard, but 7.2 Code Security is compromised by incorrect return values in transfer functions. 7.6 External interactions are risky due to the use of tx.origin for authorization, which is vulnerable to phishing attacks.

Governance8/10Low risk

7.4 Economic and 7.5 Governance are not applicable as the contract is immutable and lacks administrative functions. There are no minting or burning mechanisms that could impact token supply. The lack of governance prevents centralized intervention in the event of a security incident.

Upgrades8/10Low risk

7.7 Upgrades are not supported as the contract is not a proxy. The code is immutable, meaning identified vulnerabilities cannot be patched. This provides security against malicious upgrades but necessitates extreme caution during deployment.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

The contract should be redeployed with a corrected ERC-20 implementation that strictly adheres to the standard return value requirements.

Developers must replace the use of tx.origin with msg.sender to prevent unauthorized access and potential exploitation of the authorization logic. Users should exercise caution when interacting with this token in DeFi protocols, as the incorrect return values may cause integration failures with automated vaults or lending platforms that expect a boolean success indicator.
