What raised the score
  • Owner can change any holder's balance
  • Mintable supply — no cap found, dilution unbounded
  • Liquidity not locked
Exact factors
  • Owner can change any holder's balance (seize or credit tokens)
  • Mintable supply — no cap found, dilution unbounded
  • Liquidity NOT locked (100% of the pool) — who holds it cannot be verified

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 (1h old). New tokens carry elevated risk — data may change rapidly. Always verify independently before investing.

How the supply is spread across holders could not be read — the indexer's holder list does not add up to the supply. Check the largest holders on a block explorer, which reads current balances.

Liquidity

The risk score reads depth across every pair.

LP tokensNot locked

The LP tokens of the analysed pool are not locked or burned, so whoever holds them can withdraw that liquidity.

Privileged Balance Modification

The crosschainBurn function allows the bridge contract to directly remove tokens from any user's balance. This grants the bridge the power to effectively seize or destroy user assets.CP-02

Issue

The crosschainBurn function allows the bridge contract to directly remove tokens from any user's balance. This grants the bridge the power to effectively seize or destroy user assets.

Fix

Restrict the burn functionality to only allow users to burn their own tokens, or implement a multi-step verification process for cross-chain burns to prevent unauthorized asset removal.

Status

Unresolved

Medium

Privileged Minting Capability

The crosschainMint function allows the bridge contract to increase the total token supply at any time. This can lead to the dilution of existing token holders' value if the bridge is compromised or misused.CP-01

Issue

The crosschainMint function allows the bridge contract to increase the total token supply at any time. This can lead to the dilution of existing token holders' value if the bridge is compromised or misused.

Fix

Ensure the bridge contract is secured with robust access controls and consider implementing a supply cap if the tokenomics require protection against excessive inflation.

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 25
Executive SummaryWhat the contract is and what the review found

The ClankerToken is an ERC-20 compliant token with cross-chain capabilities integrated via the Superchain Token Bridge. The architecture relies on standard OpenZeppelin libraries for voting and permit functionality. While the core token logic is robust, the protocol grants significant power to the bridge contract to mint and burn tokens, which introduces centralized risks regarding supply control and user balance integrity.

Technical8/10Low risk

The contract utilizes well-audited OpenZeppelin standards for ERC-20, Votes, and Permit functionality, ensuring high interoperability. 7.1 Architecture is modular, separating administrative metadata updates from cross-chain bridge logic. 7.2 Code Security is high due to the use of standard libraries, though 7.3 Access Control is heavily reliant on the bridge address. 7.6 External dependencies are limited to the Superchain Token Bridge, which is a trusted system component.

Governance1/10High risk

7.4 Economic risk is present due to the minting capabilities, which can lead to supply inflation if the bridge is compromised. 7.5 Governance is centralized under an admin address that can update metadata and administrative roles. While this allows for flexibility, it creates a single point of failure for metadata integrity. The economic model is standard for a cross-chain asset, relying on the bridge for supply synchronization.

Upgrades2/10High risk

7.7 Upgrades are not implemented via proxy patterns in this contract, meaning the logic is immutable. 7.8 Operations are straightforward, with administrative functions limited to metadata and role management. This lack of upgradeability provides security against malicious logic changes but limits future protocol evolution. The current implementation is stable and predictable.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

The protocol should implement a multi-signature wallet or a timelock controller for the admin address to mitigate risks associated with centralized metadata and role management.

Additionally, users should be aware that the Superchain Token Bridge holds the authority to burn and mint tokens, which is a necessary design choice for cross-chain functionality but represents a significant trust assumption. Regular monitoring of the bridge contract's activity is recommended to ensure that mint/burn events align with expected cross-chain traffic. No further code changes are required for the current functionality, but future iterations should consider decentralizing the admin role to improve trust transparency.
