Hardcoded Tax Fee

The contract hardcodes a non-zero tax/fee rate in the source.

Analyzer: Source-Code Analysis
Slug: hardcoded_tax_fee

What it means

The source assigns a literal value to transferTaxRate, _taxFee, _liquidityFee or _burnFee. The token taxes trades by design; the question is how much and whether it can change.

Why it matters

A fixed, modest fee is a tokenomics choice, not a trap. It matters as context for the fee-family signals (modifiable_fee, extreme_hardcoded_sell_fee) and for net-proceeds math.

How RektRadar detects it

RektRadar detects hardcoded literal fee assignments in the verified source (fixed tax constants in the transfer path) and surfaces them as an informational signal.
