What raised the score
  • Owner can change any holder's balance
  • Mintable supply — no cap found, dilution unbounded
  • Liquidity not locked
  • Liquidity < $50k
  • Top-10 concentration > 20%

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) — held by independent providers — market-depth risk
  • Liquidity < $50k ($23,677 across 10 pairs — thin market)
  • Top-10 concentration > 20% (66.6% total → 25.6% effective; 21.8% in EOAs, 9.3% in contracts; 35.4% burned, locked or in pools excluded)
  • The deployer has launched a honeypot before

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

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.

Owner Can Directly Manipulate Any Holder's Tokens

The contract owner possesses a highly powerful capability through the transferAndCall(address,uint256,bytes) function. The static analysis indicates this function allows the owner to directly modify the token balances of any holder, meaning the owner could move tokens out of any address or even burn them without the holder's consent. This represents a critical centralization risk.CP-02

Issue

The contract owner possesses a highly powerful capability through the transferAndCall(address,uint256,bytes) function. The static analysis indicates this function allows the owner to directly modify the token balances of any holder, meaning the owner could move tokens out of any address or even burn them without the holder's consent. This represents a critical centralization risk.

Fix

This capability gives the owner absolute control over all token balances. Token holders must understand that their tokens are subject to the owner's discretion. It is essential that the owner's private key is extremely well-protected, ideally by a multi-signature wallet with a strong governance process, to prevent malicious or accidental manipulation of funds.

Owner Can Create New Tokens

The contract owner has the ability to create an unlimited number of new tokens using the mint(address,uint256) function. This means the owner can increase the total supply of tokens at any time, which could dilute the value of existing tokens held by others.CP-01

Issue

The contract owner has the ability to create an unlimited number of new tokens using the mint(address,uint256) function. This means the owner can increase the total supply of tokens at any time, which could dilute the value of existing tokens held by others.

Fix

Token holders should be aware that the owner can inflate the token supply. It is crucial that the owner's address is controlled by a highly secure entity, such as a multi-signature wallet, and that there are clear policies governing when and how new tokens can be minted.

Liquidity not locked

0.0% of the pool's LP is burned or time-locked. 0.7% still sits in DxLock, but that lock expired on 21 Nov 2022 — its owner can withdraw it at any moment. 99.3% is held, unlocked, by 5 address(es) other than the owner/deployer. One of them — a wallet, 0x0424…cb74 — holds 84.9% and can remove that share at once; who controls it is not visible on-chain, so it is not treated as an independent provider. Some pools are concentrated-liquidity (V3/V4) positions; shares above are by position as GoPlus reports them.QA-LIQUIDITY

Analysis

AI Copilotas of audit · Oct 15
Executive SummaryWhat the contract is and what the review found

The ERC677BridgeToken contract provides standard ERC-20 functionality with additional features for bridging and minting. The contract owner retains significant control, including the ability to mint new tokens and directly manipulate token balances of other holders. These capabilities introduce substantial centralization risks, as a compromised or malicious owner could dilute existing token holders or arbitrarily move funds.

Technical6/10Medium risk

The contract implements the ERC-20 and ERC-677 standards, providing robust token transfer mechanisms (7.2 Code Security). It includes owner-restricted functions for managing token supply and bridge operations (7.3 Access Control). A key technical risk is the mint function, which allows the owner to increase the total supply, potentially diluting token value (CP-01). Furthermore, the transferAndCall function is identified as allowing the owner to directly change other holders' balances, which is a critical technical vulnerability (CP-02).

Governance2/10High risk

The contract's economic model is highly centralized, with the owner possessing extensive control over the token supply and individual balances (7.4 Economic). The owner, identified as an OZ_ProxyAdmin, can mint an arbitrary amount of new tokens via mint(address,uint256), leading to potential inflation and value dilution (CP-01). More critically, the owner can directly manipulate any holder's balance using transferAndCall(address,uint256,bytes), enabling arbitrary token movement or burning from any address (CP-02). This centralization poses a significant governance and economic risk (7.5 Governance).

Upgrades4/10Medium risk

The contract is not implemented as a proxy and does not include any upgrade mechanisms (7.7 Upgrades). This means the contract's logic is immutable once deployed, eliminating risks associated with upgradeability flaws such as improper initialization or storage collisions. However, it also means that any discovered vulnerabilities or desired feature changes cannot be addressed without a new deployment and migration.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

Given the significant power vested in the contract owner, it is paramount to ensure the owner's private key is secured with the highest possible standards, ideally through a robust multi-signature wallet.

Implement strict operational procedures for executing privileged functions, especially mint and transferAndCall, to prevent unauthorized or erroneous actions. Consider implementing a timelock for critical operations to provide a window for community review and reaction.
