Every check

• Upgradeable contract. This is a proxy: the team can swap the token code for anything, including a honeypot.
• Has an owner. 0xa346…918f controls the owner-only functions below.
• No owner powers found. No mint, blacklist, tax or pause functions in the contract code.
• Only 0% of liquidity locked. Most pool tokens are not burned or locked, so the liquidity can be pulled.
• 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.
• Only 0% of liquidity locked: Lock the pool tokens with a well-known locker, or burn them. Graduating from pump.fun burns them for you.
• Has an owner: Renounce ownership, or move it to a multisig with a public timelock if the team still needs it.
