Danger signal

Unrestricted Mint

A public mint() with no access guard - the supply can be inflated at will.

Analyzer: Source-Code Analysis
Slug: unrestricted_mint

What it means

The verified source exposes a mint function declared external or public without a require/assert guard in its body. Anyone (or at best the owner) can create new tokens after launch, diluting every holder.

Why it matters

Supply inflation is a rug without touching the pool: the operator mints a mountain of tokens and dumps them into the existing liquidity. Your share of the supply - and the price - collapses in one transaction.

How RektRadar detects it

The source analyzer matches external/public mint functions whose body shows no access-control guard. Post-launch supply is also monitored: an actual inflation raises supply_inflated.
