We analyzed 440 smart contracts on Base mainnet. The results are alarming.

Key findings:
• 97% have SELFDESTRUCT enabled
• 91% use tx.origin instead of msg.sender
• 78% make unchecked external calls
• 64% lack proper access control

Most projects deploy without basic safety checks. Our AI agent scans every new contract on Base 24/7.

Why this matters:
SELFDESTRUCT lets owners destroy contracts and steal funds. tx.origin enables phishing attacks. Unchecked calls can drain user balances.
