# ERC-20 Admin Control Risk Checker

> ERC-20 Admin Control Risk Checker is a paid API for AI agents from api.vextorium.com, paid per call via x402, $0.008/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-01).

Analyzes an ERC-20 token contract to detect admin privilege functions such as owner control, upgradeable proxy, mint, pause, blacklist, and fee-setting capabilities, returning a structured risk assessment of issuer control level.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability erc-20-admin-control-risk-checker-5d0a20b3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check the token contract 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 on Ethereum and tell me whether the issuer has any admin controls like minting, pausing, blacklisting, or proxy upgradeability?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically assess issuer centralization risk in an ERC-20 token contract across Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, or Polygon. It is specifically designed to surface admin-control capabilities rather than provide a scam verdict, making it ideal for DeFi due diligence, pre-investment screening, or compliance workflows that require structured, machine-readable risk findings rather than a simple pass/fail.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent contract address returns an error or null fields
- Contract on an unsupported network returns a validation error
- Non-ERC-20 contract address may return empty or misleading findings
- Network RPC issues may cause timeouts or incomplete reads
- Obfuscated or non-standard contracts may not expose detectable function signatures

## How this service works

ERC-20 admin-control check: detects owner privileges, upgradeable proxy, mint, pause, blacklist and fee-setting functions in the contract code. Measures issuer control, not a scam verdict.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the token name, symbol, contract address, network, owner address, whether ownership is renounced, whether the contract is an upgradeable proxy, a list of detected admin capability findings (e.g. mint, pause, blacklist, fee-setter), an overall administrative control level rating, and a human-readable risk note.
