Token-0x

No Public Mint Function / No Supply Control Mechanism in ERC20.sol

Description

The contract does not expose any minting ability. _mint() exists in ERC20Internals but is unreachable.

This is fine for a fixed-supply token, but your README says DeFi protocols should use this as a base token. Most protocols need:

• reward emissions

• staking rewards

• vesting schedules

• inflation models

Since minting is impossible, this ERC20 cannot fulfill these roles.

Risk

Likelihood:

• No way to create tokens after deployment

Impact:

Token cannot serve as:

Reward token

• Emission token

• Staking yield token

• Inflationary governance token

Proof of Concept

It's a missing-function issue — not something that needs runtime demonstration.

Recommended Mitigation

Add a controlled mint() or document that token is strictly fixed-supply.
