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 (14h 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.

Locked ETH in Contract

The contract accepts ETH but lacks any function to withdraw or transfer it out, meaning any ETH sent to the contract address is permanently inaccessible.CD-01

Issue

The contract accepts ETH but lacks any function to withdraw or transfer it out, meaning any ETH sent to the contract address is permanently inaccessible.

Fix

Add a function that allows the owner to withdraw native ETH from the contract balance.

Status

Medium

Insecure Use of tx.origin

The _getTaxWithPoolState function uses tx.origin for authorization logic. This is dangerous because a malicious contract can be used to trick the check, potentially bypassing intended tax rules.CD-02

Issue

The _getTaxWithPoolState function uses tx.origin for authorization logic. This is dangerous because a malicious contract can be used to trick the check, potentially bypassing intended tax rules.

Fix

Refactor the code to use msg.sender instead of tx.origin for all security and rule-based checks.

Centralized Control Over Transfer Fees

The owner can modify the tax rates applied to token transfers via the finalizeMigration function. This allows the controller to change the economic cost of trading at their discretion.CP-07

Issue

The owner can modify the tax rates applied to token transfers via the finalizeMigration function. This allows the controller to change the economic cost of trading at their discretion.

Fix

Implement a timelock for administrative changes or document the fee ranges clearly in the project's whitepaper to provide transparency to users.

Status

Low

Centralized Control Over Transaction Limits

The owner has the authority to update transfer and wallet limits during the migration process. This could be used to restrict the movement of tokens for specific addresses.CP-08

Issue

The owner has the authority to update transfer and wallet limits during the migration process. This could be used to restrict the movement of tokens for specific addresses.

Fix

Consider making these limits immutable or subject to a governance vote rather than sole owner control.

Info

Who holds the supply

The ten largest holders own 88.1% of supply. Of that, 4.6% in DEX pools — not holders that can sell, so excluded from the concentration score. What remains: 80.6% in wallets, 2.9% in other contracts. 6,201 holders in total.QA-HOLDERS

Issue

Fix

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

Asset class: Project token

A token issued by a project for use, governance or fundraising. Scored on its contract and market facts. The class itself adds no points; the contract and market facts decide the score. Basis: no class-specific evidence. Tokenomics — Supply: fixed — the contract has no mint function. Control: a role-controlled contract. Code: not upgradeable (no proxy). Fees: 3% on buy, 3% on sell. Market: $399K of DEX liquidity across 1 pools. Launch: under a day of market history.QA-PROFILE

Fix

Check the project's own documentation for what the token is used for; this report covers what the contract allows.

Info

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

Fix

Re-check ownership, liquidity and holder distribution as the token matures; those are the facts that move early.

Analysis

AI Copilotas of audit · Nov 8

Executive SummaryWhat the contract is and what the review found

The FlapDirectTaxToken is a minimal clone (EIP-1167) implementing a tax-on-transfer token with migration-based state transitions. While the core ERC-20 logic is standard, the contract contains centralized administrative controls over transfer fees and anti-sniper mechanisms. The audit identified issues regarding locked ETH and the use of tx.origin for authorization, which should be addressed to improve security and asset management.

Technical8/10Low risk

The contract utilizes a standard EIP-1167 clone pattern, ensuring immutable logic. 7.1 Architecture and 7.2 Code Security are generally sound, though 7.6 External interactions are limited. A significant issue exists in 7.8 Operations where ETH sent to the contract becomes permanently locked. Additionally, 7.3 Access Control relies on tx.origin, which is a known anti-pattern for authorization.

Governance4/10Medium risk

The protocol features centralized governance via an owner address. 7.4 Economic and 7.5 Governance items are tightly coupled to the owner's ability to trigger migration phases. This allows the owner to unilaterally adjust tax rates and anti-sniper windows, which directly impacts token holder liquidity and transaction costs.

Upgrades8/10Low risk

The contract is a minimal clone (EIP-1167) and is not upgradeable. 7.7 Upgrades are not applicable as the implementation address is fixed at deployment. The logic cannot be altered, providing certainty to users regarding the contract's behavior.

Final RecommendationWhat to do about this score

Implement a 'rescue' function restricted to the owner to allow the withdrawal of accidentally sent ETH or other ERC-20 tokens.

Replace the use of tx.origin with msg.sender in all authorization checks to prevent potential cross-contract manipulation.
