Scope of the Audit

The audit covered Pulse.sol, the BEP-20 smart contract powering the Pulse (XPL) token. Key features included:

  • Reflection mechanism for automatic holder rewards.

  • Liquidity provisioning via PancakeSwap.

  • Configurable tax and liquidity fees.

  • Owner-controlled burn functionality.

  • Protection against reentrancy and other common vulnerabilities.


Results

  • Audit Score: 91 / 100 – PASS

  • Critical Issues: 0

  • High Issues: 0

  • Medium Issues: 4 (Acknowledged)

  • Low Issues: 1 (Acknowledged)

  • Informational Notes: 5

This score reflects strong overall contract integrity, with no critical or high-risk vulnerabilities identified .


Key Findings

  • No Slippage Protection in Swaps (Medium, Acknowledged): Potential exposure during high market volatility.

  • Unbounded Loops (Medium, Acknowledged): Could theoretically cause out-of-gas errors.

  • Liquidity Threshold Too High (Medium, Acknowledged): Could lead to idle tokens in contract.

  • Burn Mechanism Behavior (Medium, Acknowledged): Burns do not directly boost holder balances.

  • Fee Setter Flexibility (Low, Acknowledged): Recommended to add bounds when setting fees.

  • Gas Optimization Suggestions (Informational): Include use of custom errors, external functions, caching storage reads, and naming conventions.


Zokyo’s Recommendations

  • Implement slippage tolerance and transaction deadlines.

  • Refactor reward inclusion to avoid unbounded loops.

  • Adjust liquidity thresholds to realistic levels.

  • Consider improvements to burn mechanics.

  • Apply gas efficiency practices for long-term optimization.

  • Introduce a bug bounty program to encourage continuous testing .


Conclusion

The audit validates that Pulse World’s smart contracts are secure, reliable, and aligned with industry best practices, with only medium-level optimizations suggested.

This result reflects Pulse World’s commitment to safeguarding community assets and building a robust ecosystem that integrates DeFi, GameFi, SocialFi, Web3, and NFTs into one metaverse.
