HyperAudit Research
100% had issues.
We audited 20 real smart contracts across four chains. Every single one had security vulnerabilities. 60% had critical findings that could drain every dollar.
361 findings. 26 critical. Average risk score: 66/100 (B grade).
Severity Breakdown
361 findings classified by impact. Nearly a quarter are Critical or High — direct paths to fund loss.
How Safe Are Smart Contracts?
We scored each contract 0–100 based on how likely it is to lose user funds. Only 5 of 20 passed. Here is what each grade means for your money.
No critical flaws. Safe to deploy with standard monitoring.
Exploitable under specific conditions. Owners hold too much power.
Multiple paths to fund loss. Would not pass a manual audit.
Active drain mechanisms. Users will lose everything.
Grade D — Do Not Interact
Grade C — Serious Risk
Grade B — Needs Fixes
Grade A — Production-Ready
75% scored below 80. Only 5 contracts were safe to deploy.
Names are anonymized. All contracts were live on mainnet at the time of audit.
How People Lose Money
The six most common attack patterns we found — in plain language. These are not theoretical. They are deployed on mainnet right now.
Rug Pull Mechanisms
60%The owner can withdraw all funds from the contract at any time, in a single transaction.
Honeypot Traps
30%Users can buy the token freely, but the contract blocks all sells. You get in — you cannot get out.
Confiscatory Fees
40%The owner can raise buy/sell fees to 99-100% after launch, taking everything from every transaction.
No Safety Delays
70%Critical parameters can be changed instantly — no timelock, no warning, no chance to exit.
Single Key Control
80%One wallet controls the entire contract. One compromised key = total loss for all holders.
Slippage Exploits
50%Automated swaps execute with zero price protection, letting bots steal value from every trade.
By Chain
Security issues exist across every chain we tested.
