Core concepts
Token intelligence
Contract powers, supply mechanics, and the questions that decide whether you can sell.
Token analysis is mostly about control. Price and supply are easy to read; what matters is who can change the rules after you buy.
Contract powers
- Mint authority
- Whether new supply can be created, and by whom.
- Pause
- Whether transfers can be halted. If they can, your ability to sell is conditional on somebody's decision.
- Transfer restrictions
- Blacklists, allowlists, maximum amounts, cooldowns.
- Ownership
- Whether an owner exists, whether it is renounced, and whether it is identifiable at all.
- Proxy
- Whether the code behind the address can be replaced with different code.
- Taxes
- Fees taken on buy or sell, and whether they can be changed.
Verification
An unverified contract is a finding, not a gap. It means the published source cannot be matched to the deployed bytecode, so none of the reassurance a source-code review would give you is available.
Reading the score
Higher is safer. A score is the output of named signals with stated severities, all of which are shown — so you can disagree with the weighting and still use the evidence underneath it.
