Category Ratings

TechnicalMedium4/10

The token is an SPL Token Program v3 mint. Both the Mint Authority and Freeze Authority have been revoked, ensuring no new tokens can be minted and no existing accounts can be frozen. No Token-2022 specific extensions like permanent delegate, transfer hook, or default account state frozen are active, indicating a standard and immutable token behavior. The token's metadata is also immutable.

GovernanceHigh1/10

Holder concentration is a concern, with the top 10 token accounts holding 69.65% of the total supply, indicating a potential for price manipulation from large holders. Despite this, the token has substantial liquidity of $2,596,188 USD, and the 24-hour volume to liquidity ratio is normal at 0.07, suggesting organic trading activity. However, a third-party risk registry flags the token for 'Single holder ownership' and 'High holder concentration'.

UpgradesMedium4/10

The token's core parameters are immutable as both Mint and Freeze authorities are revoked. There are no active Token-2022 extensions that allow for post-deployment changes to token behavior, such as upgradable transfer fees or transfer hooks. Additionally, the token's metadata (name, symbol) is immutable, preventing any branding changes.
