Paxos Gold (PAXG) Smart Contract Risk
Fee-on-Transfer / Rebasing
⚡ MEDIUM severityVulnerability
PAXG charges a fee on every transfer. The amount received is less than the amount sent, which can break protocols that assume transfer amount equals received amount.

Safe integration
Measure actual received amounts using balance-before and balance-after checks instead of trusting the transfer amount parameter.

What this contract permits today
Read live from Ethereum on 2026-10-14. This is a different question from the integration risk above: not how to call the token safely, but what the holders of its keys are able to do to the people holding it.

The permissions above rest with 0x6D8B8f7eBD9860E80694665f05033dF06ddC3acC, itself a contract, which may be a multisig or a timelock. Whether that is acceptable depends on who holds it.
