Danger signal

Mass Hardcoded Blacklist

The transfer path embeds many literal addresses followed by a revert - a baked-in ban list.

Analyzer: Source-Code Analysis
Slug: mass_hardcoded_blacklist

What it means

The _transfer implementation references three or more hardcoded addresses leading to a revert. A whole list of victims or competitor bots is compiled into the token.

Why it matters

At this scale the intent is unambiguous: the token shipped with a pre-selected set of addresses that will never be able to exit.

How RektRadar detects it

Source regex on _transfer bodies containing 3+ literal addresses within reach of a revert, raised as danger.
