Pepe and Bonk: two different meanings of control

After this page you should be able to name the control that each chain’s scan is actually looking at.

Why they are not interchangeable

Pepe is an Ethereum contract. The scan talks about an owner, a mint function, a tax, a blacklist and a pause. Bonk is a Solana mint. The scan talks about mint authority, freeze authority, a transfer hook and metadata. A sentence that says both are ‘renounced’ is only half-legible.

Pepe’s CLEAR coexists with a controls warning. Bonk’s CLEAR coexists with mutable metadata. The shared word is the verdict. The difference is the warning. That is the comparison. It is not a ranking of which token is safer.
