Astra Bitcoin, ABTC, is a token on Ethereum with a fixed supply of 2,250,000. The project now publishes a set of 23 verification tests, run against live network state, that any reader can repeat from a block explorer, together with a written list of earlier claims it has withdrawn.
Two contracts, set up in opposite ways
The project uses two contracts with deliberately different designs. The token contract, which holds user balances, is renounced. The sale contract, which handles payments, keeps an owner on purpose, and the site explains the reasoning in public rather than assuming readers will prefer a renounced sale contract by default.
The token contract cannot be changed
The owner of the token contract is the zero address, a value no person controls, so minting, pausing and ownership transfer are unreachable for every caller. The contract is an EIP 1167 minimal clone whose implementation is fixed in the bytecode rather than stored in an upgradeable slot, and both standard proxy storage slots are empty. The source review records no blacklist, no transfer fee and no transaction cap. The token contract is 0x8C45bC48a451F48cca403ff2DDba2dA0EA68c404 and the sale contract is 0x7F4875c4a43daF0c31E411c6317C2ca265DDf8A0, both on Ethereum mainnet.
Why the sale contract keeps its owner
Renouncing the sale contract would lock every payment inside it permanently, strand unsold tokens, remove the emergency stop for a stalled price feed, and leave no path to restore a broken oracle. Those are the project's stated reasons, and they are checkable against the source. Stablecoin purchases use a constant price of 3.00 dollars per ABTC written into the contract. Purchases in ETH use a manually set rate, which the project discloses plainly, and it publishes the quote function buyers can call to see the exact quantity before sending anything.
A record built to be tested
The verification page lists 23 checks that were run against live mainnet state at block 25823585 on 24 August 2026. They include attempts to call the privileged functions from arbitrary addresses, reads of the owner and supply, checks of both proxy slots, and a source review for hidden powers. Every test is written so that a reader can repeat it from the explorer without installing anything.
Withdrawn claims, stated in writing
The most unusual part of the record is a list of corrections. Earlier versions of the site described the token as tied to energy revenues and later as redeemable against electricity bills. Those statements are withdrawn, and the project states that no supply support programme exists and that no listing is promised or planned as a commitment. Publishing corrections of one's own earlier material is rare in this market, and the project treats it as part of the same discipline as the checks themselves.
