Freezable Token
A token whose issuer can prevent specific accounts from transferring their balance.
Context decides the meaning completely. Circle can freeze USDC because law requires the ability, and it is publicly disclosed; the identical capability in an anonymous contract is an exit. Our security panel separates these as issuer controls rather than flattening both into one verdict — the fact stays on the page, the judgement accounts for what the asset is.

How do I check if a token can freeze my balance?
Paste the token’s contract address into the Heriux contract checker. It answers from the contract as deployed, and reports this check alongside the others: minting, freezing, upgrades, sell restrictions and the deployer’s history. Take the address from the token’s explorer or its own page rather than from a reply, since copies reuse the name. Open the contract checker →
Does a freezable token mean the token is a scam?
Not on its own. 201 of the 26,809 contracts we have read (0.7%) carry it, most of them ordinary tokens. It is a power the contract holds, and what matters is who holds it and whether it is ever used.
