Warning signal

CREATE2 Opcode

The contract can deploy code to a precomputed address - the basis of metamorphic redeployment.

Analyzer: Bytecode Patterns
Slug: opcode_create2

What it means

CREATE2 deploys a contract to a deterministic address derived from a salt. Combined with SELFDESTRUCT it enables metamorphic contracts that replace their own code at a fixed address; alone it is also used by factories.

Why it matters

CREATE2 is the redeploy half of the metamorphic-rug primitive. In a token contract it warrants scrutiny - the address you trust today could host different code tomorrow.

How RektRadar detects it

RektRadar flags the CREATE2 opcode in the runtime bytecode and escalates when SELFDESTRUCT is present alongside it.
