Scan This Token
This is an editorial token overview, not a scan report or safety rating. Open Sentinel with this address and chain to request a scan. Check the report timestamp and any unavailable checks before relying on its results.
Scan This Token →View published report → Check its timestamp: this is an existing public report, not a new scan.
Checks third-party honeypot, sell-restriction, and transfer-tax signals.
Measures top-wallet concentration when coherent provider evidence is available.
Examines same-chain DEX liquidity, pool age, and pool composition.
Checks available indicators of owner, mint, pause, blacklist, and fee controls.
Checks provider and source indicators of upgradeable proxy contracts.
Checks explorer-verified source and ABI availability; does not independently recompile bytecode.
Paxos Gold (PAXG) is deployed at 0x45804880De22913dAFE09f4980848ECE6EcbAf78 on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token with 18 decimals.
Deployed behind a ZeppelinOS-style upgradeable proxy; whoever controls the proxy admin can change the token logic. The contract exposes a mint function (mint(address,uint256)); check who holds the minting role and whether supply is capped. The contract includes a pause() function that can halt transfers. The contract can freeze or blacklist addresses (freeze(address)). Value depends on Paxos holding the underlying gold; review current attestation reports. Contract facts on this page come from an on-chain bytecode and storage check on 2026-10-29. Roles and implementations can change, so recheck on the chain explorer.
Run a Firepan Sentinel scan for a point-in-time token risk assessment. Read the individual findings, report timestamp, and unavailable checks. A scan is not a guarantee of safety.
