The legacy Token Factory remains owned by the compromised former controller. Never call its `createToken` function or send it zkLTC. New testnet creation uses only the immutable source-pinned factory after chain-4441, runtime, target, fee, and decoded-parameter checks. Its controller is frozen at 0x…01 and its test treasury has no admin role. Historical LesterToken children combined OpenZeppelin ERC-20 modules with custom decimals and optional owner minting, holder burning, and owner pause controls. Each child has its own transferable owner; replacing the factory does not rotate that owner or make a child trustworthy.
Open the read-only token or explorer view. Do not connect merely to inspect a public contract, and do not bypass the disabled creation form.
Confirm the exact token address, creation transaction, source-pinned factory event, runtime code, name, symbol, decimals, supply, and current owner. A matching name or symbol is spoofable and does not prove provenance.
Determine whether the current token owner can mint additional supply or pause transfers, and whether holders can burn. Treat owner-transfer history and current authority as part of the review.
For the immutable public-testnet replacement, verify chain 4441, exact factory/runtime, 0.05 zkLTC fee, token parameters, and that the frozen controller differs from the fee treasury. Never approve or pay the legacy factory.
The Lester token tracker scans a bounded newest factory-event window; it is not a complete index. Keep the exact creation receipt and address. Testnet and RPC history availability are not perpetual-storage guarantees.
