Investors have been buying Mog Coin (MOG) despite significant security flaws in its underlying smart contract code.
According to a ChatGPT security audit, the owner of the MOG smart contract used the βOwnableβ function in the code. This allows the deployer to renounce and transfer ownership of the token instantly.
Moreover, the code deployer can also set and change the token fees up to 50%. This gives the owner a lot of flexibility, which can be abused. The owner can also exempt specific addresses from fees and transaction limits. ChatGPT added:
This can be used to create preferential treatment or for malicious purposes.
The smart contract code has the βstartTradingβ function as well. This allows the owner to directly enable or disable trading the MOG token, potentially preventing traders from executing their deals.
In addition, the ChatGPT analysis found that the contract deployer can instantly swap tokens for Ethereum (ETH) and even withdraw the meme coinβs liquidity.
Per the analysis, MOG is a highly centralized token with its owner having too much control over its underlying code. This makes the meme coin a precarious investment since the smart contract deployer can manage the assetβs liquidity, manually withdraw tokens, and swap tokens to ETH and withdraw them.
This puts MOG, potentially, in the scam category.
Despite all the security flaws, MOG has emerged as the top gainer among the leading 500 cryptocurrencies with a 45% price rally. The meme coin is trading at $0.0000008286 at the time of writing. The assetβs market cap stands at $323 million with a circulating supply of 390 trillion MOG tokens.
Disclaimer: This analysis is not definitive proof that MOG could be a fraudulent asset, but it highlights the risks inherent to coding blockchain algorithms respective of security flaws.
