Security Findings

Info

No code-level findings — an SPL mint exposes no auditable program source

This token is an SPL token mint, not a deployed program: there is no contract source code on-chain for a line-by-line review, so no code-level vulnerability could be identified either way. The assessment on this page therefore rests on mint/owner authority, mint capability, LP lock/burn state, holder concentration, which are read directly from chain state and from third-party risk registries.I-01

Analysis

AI Copilotas of audit · Sep 22
Executive SummaryWhat the contract is and what the review found

The Paxton Pengu (PAX) SPL Token Mint exhibits a robust security posture based on available on-chain data. Both mint and freeze authorities are revoked, preventing further token issuance or account freezing. Holder concentration is low at 23.21% for the top 10 accounts, and liquidity is healthy at $164,606. Third-party risk registry data reported no adverse flags, and no critical vulnerabilities were identified by our deterministic rules. Holder distribution data from chain-native RPC was unavailable.

Technical10/10Low risk

The Paxton Pengu (PAX) token is implemented using the spl-token-2022 program. Key administrative authorities, including the mint authority and freeze authority, have been permanently revoked, ensuring no new tokens can be minted and no accounts can be frozen. The token does not utilize a transfer hook, nor is the default account state frozen. Furthermore, the balance_mutable and metadata_mutable flags are set to False, indicating a fixed and immutable configuration for these critical parameters.

Governance10/10Low risk

The token exhibits a healthy economic profile with $164,606 in DEX liquidity and a 24-hour volume of $95,613, indicating active trading without signs of wash trading (Volume/Liquidity Ratio: 0.58). The DEX pair has been established for 233 days, providing a sufficient track record. Holder concentration is low, with the top 10 accounts holding only 23.21% of the total supply, mitigating risks associated with whale manipulation.

Upgrades10/10Low risk

The Paxton Pengu (PAX) token's configuration is highly immutable, as both the mint and freeze authorities have been revoked. This prevents any future changes to the token's supply or the ability to freeze holder accounts. Crucially, the metadata_mutable, transfer_fee_upgradable, and transfer_hook_upgradable flags are all False, ensuring that the token's metadata, transfer fees, and transfer hook functionality cannot be altered post-launch. This fixed state provides predictability for holders.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

Given the strong security posture with revoked mint and freeze authorities, low holder concentration, and healthy liquidity, this token appears to be well-configured.

Holders should continue to monitor the token's market dynamics and any future announcements from the project team. While no critical on-chain risks were identified, always exercise caution and conduct independent due diligence before making investment decisions.
