Warning signal

Owner Not Renounced

The contract still has an owner — nothing prevents a future privileged change.

Analyzer: Source-Code Analysis
Slug: no_renounce_ownership

What it means

The deployer or admin still controls owner-only functions: changing fees, pausing trades, blacklisting wallets, modifying limits. None of those are constrained by code.

Why it matters

Even a non-malicious owner is a single point of failure. A compromised key or an EOA-level attack on the deployer wallet is enough to rug the contract.

How RektRadar detects it

Ownership state is read directly from the contract (Ownable's `owner()`, AccessControl's `hasRole`). A non-zero owner with no time-lock raises the flag.
