Danger signal

Selfdestruct + CREATE2 Combo

The contract can both self-destruct and redeploy to the same address - a metamorphic rug primitive.

Analyzer: Composite Verdicts
Slug: selfdestruct_create2_combo

What it means

A contract that contains both the SELFDESTRUCT and CREATE2 opcodes can tear itself down and redeploy entirely different code at the very same address. Today's audited code can become tomorrow's drainer with no address change.

Why it matters

Metamorphic contracts defeat the assumption that an address you checked once stays the same. A token can pass every check, get listed, then self-destruct and reincarnate as a honeypot at the identical address buyers already trust.

How RektRadar detects it

RektRadar scans the runtime bytecode for the co-presence of the SELFDESTRUCT and CREATE2 opcodes and raises this combo flag - the building blocks of the metamorphic-contract pattern.
