Is the contract renounced?

Once a smart contract is deployed, regardless of it being renounced or not, that contract is immutable, meaning it cannot be changed from its current form. This means that the functions available to an owner wallet are limited to the functions available on the "read" and "write" of the contract which require the owner address. On the Shinja token contract, this would include things such as changing the fees, whitelisting, blacklisting, and a few others, but they are all accessible and visible here (for our Ethereum token). Being on the blockchain, anyone can follow every single action performed by the owner wallet. You can always get the owner wallet from the link above, but on the "Read Contract" button.

With the above in mind, it should now be clear that a contract owner cannot do whatever they like with the contract. The owner can only change what exists on the contract as it stands at the point it was launched, and though these functions are limited, they are important to maintaining good governance over things like:

• Changing taxes for special events, such as a "low tax" or "no tax" buy event, or "larger reflections" event.

• Ability to whitelist specific addresses required by certain exchanges.

• Ability to blacklist specific addresses, such as scammers. We have blacklisted multiple scammer addresses which has stopped them from being able to access funds scammed from our members.

• Ability to move liquidity to a new contract in the event that issues arise with the current contract. Several projects have had this issue in the past and have had to start from scratch because they had renounced ownership and lost all access to their liquidity.

So what has SHINJA done here? Please refer to the link below.

SHINJA Liquidity Pool Holders

From the above link:

1. The first address with the icon next to it is our locked liquidity.

2. Shibnobi: Deployer = Developer address where auto-liquidity pool is generated. The developer (Cliff) regularly locks this balance, depending on how much is generated.

3. Other addresses are holders that have provided liquidity to the pool. They receive 3% earnings for doing this (which is like staking). Anyone can do this.

Locked liquidity cannot be touched by the team for the set period of time, and is continuously locked over and over again. The reason this does not get locked permanently is that in the event of a problem, the team would be able to migrate that liquidity to a new liquidity pool if need be.
