Gate blog：【Industry Analysis】Analysis of the SQUID Game Contract Vulnerability - Risk Remains High

[Instruction]Earlier this month, SQUID, a Play-to-Earn token based on Binance Smart Chain (BSC), saw a sudden surge in its price followed by a flash crash. Following the incident, the project claimed to have removed the restrictions on large SQUID transactions from the contract. It transferred owner access to the black hole address (note: in this address, the private key cannot be found), and shut down all social media accounts. SQUID holders are currently engaged in a "community self-help" campaign, hoping to take action against the project's runaway team in order to achieve more decentralisation and community autonomy for the project.

After an in-depth analysis of the SQUID contract code, we found that the SQUID Game project is still quite risky. The tokens are still concentrated in several addresses and there is a possibility of a second rug pull. What’s more, the contract code may be upgraded at any time. This could involve operations such as issuing a large number of additional tokens which would be extremely negative for holders.
