HighCentralization Risks in THE9.solAcknowledged

In the contract `THE9` the role `ORG_ADMIN_ROLE` has authority over the functions shown in the diagram below. Any compromise to the `ORG_ADMIN_ROLE` account may allow the hacker to take advantage of this authority and: - Call `createAmountWithLock` to reserve any amount of tokens to any account (including its EoAs). - Update any existing record in `BeneficiaryInfo` mapping at will. - Transfer tokens following the previously created `BeneficiaryInfo` mapping records. - ![](https://accelerator-tasks-prod.acc.corp.certik.com/11ee-4586-565f89a0-86b0-c51bec68bae9/diagrams/centralization_THE9-THE9-ORG_ADMIN_ROLE.svg) In the contract `THE9` the role `PAUSER_ROLE` has authority over the functions shown in the diagram below. Any compromise to the `PAUSER_ROLE` account may allow the hacker to take advantage of this authority and pause/unpause the contract at will. ![](https://accelerator-tasks-prod.acc.corp.certik.com/11ee-4586-565f89a0-86b0-c51bec68bae9/diagrams/centralization_THE9-THE9-PAUSER_ROLE.svg)

HighInitial Token DistributionAcknowledged

All of the `THE9` tokens are sent to the contract deployer or one or several externally-owned account (EOA) addresses. This is a centralization risk because the deployer or the owner(s) of the EOAs can distribute tokens without obtaining the consensus of the community. Any compromise to these addresses may allow a hacker to steal and sell tokens on the market, resulting in severe damage to the project.
