Exact factors
  • Owner can pause all transfers
  • A privileged address controls a switch that decides whether transfers go through
  • Mintable supply — no cap found, dilution unbounded
  • Liquidity NOT locked (100% of the pool) — who holds it cannot be verified
  • Top-10 concentration > 30% (100.0% total → 48.1% effective; 16.1% in EOAs, 80.1% in contracts; 3.8% burned, locked or in pools excluded)

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 (23h 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.

Security Findings

2 Medium5 Info
Medium

Centralized Control Over Token Supply

The owner can call updateMintRate and release to increase the total supply of tokens. This allows the owner to dilute the holdings of all existing token holders at their discretion, provided they stay within the 2% annual inflation limit.CP-01

Issue

The owner can call updateMintRate and release to increase the total supply of tokens. This allows the owner to dilute the holdings of all existing token holders at their discretion, provided they stay within the 2% annual inflation limit.

Fix

Implement a timelock on the updateMintRate function or transition ownership to a decentralized governance contract to prevent unilateral supply changes.

Status

Unresolved

Medium

Centralized Control Over Transferability

The owner can use lockPool and unlockPool to enable or disable transfers for specific pools. This gives the owner the power to effectively freeze liquidity or restrict user access to trading at any time.CP-05

Issue

The owner can use lockPool and unlockPool to enable or disable transfers for specific pools. This gives the owner the power to effectively freeze liquidity or restrict user access to trading at any time.

Fix

Restrict the use of pool locking to emergency scenarios only and document the specific conditions under which this function would be invoked to maintain transparency.

Who holds the supply

The ten largest holders own 100.0% of supply. Of that, 3.8% burned — not holders that can sell, so excluded from the concentration score. What remains: 16.1% in wallets, 80.1% in other contracts. The deployer/owner wallet itself holds 16.1%. 3,018 holders in total.QA-HOLDERS

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

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 DERC20 contract is a standard ERC-20 token with additional governance and vesting capabilities. The protocol relies on a centralized owner to manage inflation rates and liquidity pool access. While the code follows standard OpenZeppelin patterns, the high level of administrative control over token supply and transferability introduces significant trust requirements for token holders.

Technical8/10Low risk

The contract utilizes well-audited OpenZeppelin libraries for ERC-20, Votes, and Permit functionality. 7.1 Architecture is modular, and 7.2 Code Security is high due to the use of standard, battle-tested implementations. 7.3 Access Control is strictly enforced via Ownable, though it grants broad powers to the owner. 7.6 External dependencies are minimal and standard for the ecosystem.

Governance2/10High risk

7.4 Economic and 7.5 Governance aspects are heavily centralized. The owner has the ability to mint tokens up to a 2% annual cap and toggle transferability via the pool lock mechanism. This creates a dependency on the owner's integrity, as they can unilaterally impact token value and liquidity access.

Upgrades3/10High risk

7.7 Upgrades are not implemented; the contract is immutable. 7.8 Operations are limited to the owner's ability to adjust parameters. No proxy patterns are present, ensuring the logic cannot be altered post-deployment.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

Token holders should be aware that the contract owner possesses significant control over the token's economic parameters and transferability.

It is recommended that the project transition to a decentralized governance model, such as a multi-signature wallet or a DAO, to mitigate the risks associated with a single point of failure. Furthermore, ensure that all administrative actions are transparently communicated to the community. Consider implementing a timelock on sensitive functions like updateMintRate to provide users with advance notice of changes to the token supply.
