Warning signal

Very Small Contract

The bytecode is too small to be a real ERC-20 — likely a proxy front for malicious logic.

Analyzer: Bytecode Patterns
Slug: very_small_contract

What it means

A standard ERC-20 implementation is 4 KB to 12 KB of bytecode. A contract under ~600 bytes is almost always a thin proxy that delegates to another contract — and that other contract isn't verified anywhere.

Why it matters

Tiny contracts hide their real logic behind a delegatecall. The bytecode you see isn't the bytecode that runs. Any analysis based on the front contract is misleading.

How RektRadar detects it

Runtime bytecode size threshold + delegatecall opcode detection.
