Not claimed Automated from public data

Automated score · 2026-10-20 · method v0.2.6 · How this score is made
Produced automatically from public data on 2026-10-20 (method v0.2.6). It shows how much of this project’s control structure, code and contact information could be checked from public sources. No person selected or adjusted it, and nothing a project does or pays changes it. It is not a security audit.

Beta: the method is still being calibrated, so this automated score may contain errors. Send a correction.

Transparency score, not a security audit. Scores are generated automatically from public data (Solana RPC, OtterSec build registry, GitHub, project websites). Projects are not involved unless a page is marked “Claimed”, and claiming never changes a score. Nothing here says a project is safe. How scores are made → · Corrections, right of reply & opt-out →

Member independence not established. Address taken from official source: https://github.com/helium/helium-program-library/blob/master/Anchor.toml
    GitHub ↗Explorer ↗Explorer ↗Explorer ↗ checked 2026-10-20 sha256 f1640045e12a… sha256 4012f0eabeb2…
    What would show up as met
    • If the program is final, revoke the upgrade authority. It then reads as immutable.
    • Otherwise move the authority to a multisig or a DAO. For a multisig, use a threshold of at least 2, add a time lock, and do not keep a separate config authority that can change members without a vote.
    • Publish the multisig or DAO address on your own website so the page and the on-chain account can be tied together.

    How we check: We read the program’s upgrade authority on Solana (public RPC) and recognise Squads, Serum-style multisigs and SPL Governance accounts. This is what the check looks for. It makes no promise about a score or grade, and claiming or paying never changes a score.

    Build matches source (OtterSec registry) hdaoVT…

    OtterSec registry: 3 build submission(s) exist (https://github.com/helium/helium-program-library), but none matches the current on-chain program hash (3dcaa95c082c…) — one possible reason is an upgrade after the submission. We found no registry record that the deployed code was built from the public source.
    OtterSec registry ↗OtterSec registry ↗GitHub ↗ checked 2026-10-20 sha256 ce7bf3799473… sha256 7babef1e80f9…
    What would show up as met
    • Build the program reproducibly from your public source with the Solana verifiable-build tooling (solana-verify).
    • Submit the build to the registry so that it appears in the OtterSec registry (verify.osec.io). The check reads that registry; it does not rebuild anything itself.

    How we check: We ask the OtterSec build registry (verify.osec.io, a third party) whether the deployed program matches a build from the public source. We report what the registry says; we do not rebuild or vouch for anything ourselves. Any registry entry that matches the program’s current on-chain hash counts, not only the registry’s default entry (method 0.2.5). This is what the check looks for. It makes no promise about a score or grade, and claiming or paying never changes a score.

    What would show up as met
    • If no more tokens will ever be minted, revoke the mint authority. It then reads as met.
    • If minting must stay possible, move the authority to a multisig (threshold 2 or more, time lock) or a DAO and publish that address on your site.

    How we check: We read the mint account on Solana (public RPC). This is what the check looks for. It makes no promise about a score or grade, and claiming or paying never changes a score.

AI summaries

Generated with Grok 4.7 (xAI), Claude sonnet-5-5 (Anthropic) and GPT-6.1-sol (OpenAI) via their APIs. xAI, Anthropic and OpenAI have not reviewed, approved or sponsored Recheckable. AI-generated text; models see only extracted check results, never project-supplied text or personal names. They do not affect the score. Some text on this site (summaries and reports) is AI-generated and labelled where it appears. Scores and check results come from fixed code, not from AI. Scores are produced automatically from public data and are not reviewed by hand before they are shown; cases that the automatic checks flag are held for a person.
