Every check

• Upgradeable contract. This is a proxy: the team can swap the token code for anything, including a honeypot.
• No owner. The contract has no owner function.
• No owner powers found. No mint, blacklist, tax or pause functions in the contract code.
• Liquidity in v3/v4 positions. This pool uses Uniswap position NFTs; lock status cannot be read like a v2 pool.
• Sell test passed. Simulated 5 real holders sending tokens into the pool: all went through.
• Source code verified. The contract code is published and matches what is deployed (Sourcify).
• 13 tokens use this ticker. Many tokens share this name. Always check the address before you buy.
• No description or project links. We found no description, website or social links for this token. Not a risk on its own, but it gives buyers less to check.

How it can improve

• Upgradeable contract: Remove the ability to upgrade the contract (renounce the proxy admin), or put upgrades behind a public timelock.
