What matters here

  • No supported control power was confirmed at the block that was checked, but 8 of the checks could not run. That is not a clean result and is not being presented as one.
  • A check that could not run is not a check that passed.
  • This covers what the contract code allows - not who is behind the project, or what they intend to do.

What this scan does not establish

  • This is an automated read of public on-chain data and labelled provider feeds at one moment in time. It is not an audit, it does not execute the contract's logic path by path, and a token can change after it is scanned.

About Tether USD

Tether USD (USDT) is a token on Ethereum. No active DEX trading pairs were found at scan time, which can mean the token is pre-launch, delisted, or inactive. An external provider reports roughly 16142710 holders; VetMyToken has not reconstructed the complete holder set. An external provider reports published source code; VetMyToken has not independently verified that source. Contract controls, holder coverage, liquidity control and market quality are assessed separately; market activity does not improve or reduce the security-risk assessment.
