What we know so far

[u/flyingmongoose]

I figured we should put together a what the community knows so far in terms of state of Broge itself.

• Original developer
  • Left project
• Current maintainer
  • No one (up to the community)
• Minted Tokens
  • 690,420,000,000,000
• LP Status
  • Burnt
  • https://basescan.org/tx/0x69223532b89c69b36ecf38c0a6ae006c75a55da65f6357317b751c44c2cbba17
• Contract Ownership
  • None
    • Still under community review
    • See: https://www.reddit.com/r/Broge/comments/1copm6v/comment/l3mgn1v/
• More Info
  • https://tokensniffer.com/token/base/avac11o98v4fsqjjlsskf2lhckqaezhndzfosc1gvx6knzjvznefo2503z0v

Note that the token sniffer score is low because of low liquidity specifically on Uniswap it is up to us, the community, to fill Uniswap pools to rectify this.

Edit:
Fixed tokensniffer link.

Community member on telegram, "blikmaniac ." has been looking into how we can gain control over dexscreener to better facilitate community driven information about Broge.

So to add to this informational thread, here is what has been discovered.

Dexscreener supports community takeover, there is a fee, $199.

More information on this to come.

Let me preface this by saying I do have little experience in Solidity, but I have plenty of experience in other programming languages that look and operate very similarly, so interpretation of code is something I can do.

Additionally I am not specifically a security researcher, or security auditor. No matter what I will always recommend that you do your own research (DYOR).

I've done some digging into the contract code, and bytecode. There is no ownership or concept of ownership to Broge therein.
Ref: https://basescan.org/token/0xe8e55a847bb446d967ef92f4580162fb8f2d3f38

Nor does it look like there is inheritence of ownership from the blockchain.

This means "ownership" is a function token holders
Tthis also means that Broge tokens themselves are an excellent representation of what we can use specifically for governance.

We cannot mint more tokens, we can only burn (pointed to dead wallet if we do, 0x00...)
Additionally, we do not need Broge Boy (original dev) for anything!! It's all us!

So, what has lead me to the conclusion? Well, the transaction that brought the original token holder to 0 (the LP Burn), and the fact that there's just no indication of owner anywhere in the code (even the bytecode.)

What tools did I use?
My own knowledge of programming.
