Info signal

Pausable

The contract implements pause/unpause - all transfers can be frozen.

Analyzer: Source-Code Analysis
Slug: pausable

What it means

The source exposes pause, unpause or setPaused. Pausability is a standard OpenZeppelin feature in serious projects, but on a meme token it hands the operator a global freeze button.

Why it matters

While paused, nobody sells. An operator can pause, pull liquidity calmly, and unpause into a dead pool. Context decides: audited DeFi protocol or anonymous meme coin.

How RektRadar detects it

Source regex on pause-style signatures, raised as info. The monitor also calls paused() live and raises trading_paused_post_launch if it flips after analysis.
