Danger signal

Ownership Reclaimed

Ownership was renounced... then transferred back to a live address.

Analyzer: Post-Launch Monitoring
Slug: ownership_reclaimed

What it means

Post-launch monitoring watches OwnershipTransferred events. This flag fires when a token that had renounced (owner = zero address) hands ownership to a non-zero address again - via a backdoor, by design.

Why it matters

Renounce-then-reclaim is the endgame of renounce theater: the operator harvests the trust premium of 'renounced ✓', then takes the keys back to deploy the trap. There is no honest version of this sequence.

How RektRadar detects it

The monitor decodes OwnershipTransferred logs after analysis; a transition from the zero address back to a live owner raises this alert and recomputes the score.

Detected on 1 token in our dataset so far, 1 classified scam. Sample still small - a reliable scam rate needs more occurrences.
