No-rug guarantees

These properties are enforced by contract code, not by promises. They still depend on the code being correct, and it has not yet been audited.

Fixed supply​

  • Every coin has exactly 1,000,000,000 tokens (18 decimals), minted once, at launch, to the factory and placed in the pool.
  • There is no mint function. Anyone can burn their own tokens (ERC20Burnable), which can only reduce supply.
  • The token is a plain OpenZeppelin ERC20 with ERC20Permit. There is no transfer tax, no blacklist, no pause and no max-wallet.

Liquidity locked forever​

  • 100% of the supply goes into positions owned by the ZkPadLpLocker.
  • The positions live directly in the PancakeSwap Infinity pool manager. There is no position NFT to transfer.
  • The locker has no remove-liquidity code path and no owner withdraw function.
  • Only the locker can add liquidity to a zk-pad pool.

No owner powers over balances​

RoleWhat it can doWhat it cannot do
Token admin (chosen by the creator, can be renounced)Update the image and metadata; lower the fee (never below 1%); hand over or renounce the roleMint, burn others' tokens, pause, blacklist, raise the fee, touch liquidity or fees
Factory owner (currently a single EOA; a multisig is planned)Enable/disable hooks, lockers, MEV modules and quote tokens for new launches (quote tokens also via delegated quote-token admins); set the treasury; deprecate the factory (stops new launches)Change any existing coin, its pool, its fee or its beneficiary
FeeVault owner (currently a single EOA; a multisig is planned)Allow withdrawal adapters and attestors; set the guardian, bind delay, shield adapter and minimum creator shield; replace the consolidation registry (USDT and the launch factory are set once); recover tokens sent to the vault outside depositMove any beneficiary's balance on the beneficiary-signed path; redirect a beneficiary; redirect a registered shield template. Caveat: the owner configures the price bound of creator-triggered consolidations, so a malicious owner working with a creator could drain launch-credited balances (see trust assumptions)

The full list, and the current single-key administration, is in trust assumptions.

No one can redirect the beneficiary​

The beneficiary id is fixed at launch and recorded in the locker. Neither the creator nor the protocol can change it. Only the beneficiary's own key can claim. For social-account escrows, the only way to assign an owner is the timelocked, vetoable attestor bind.

What can still go wrong​

"No rug" is about the contracts. It does not protect you from:

  • the coin's price going to zero;
  • the creator or early buyers selling;
  • a frozen quote token, a PancakeSwap Infinity pause, or a bug.
