How to tell a fake Cardano site

Official domain: cardano.org.

Words most often added to the brand in reported domains: snekevent, ada, cardanofoundationdesktop, snekx, snekprize, lenfilabs, sneklabs, sale, surgecardano, cnft.

  • Type the address yourself or use a bookmark; phishing links for Cardano arrive through ads, search results, direct messages and fake support accounts.
  • Check the full domain before you sign in: look for extra words, hyphens, a different TLD or look-alike letters.
  • Cardano does not ask you to confirm your password or card details through a link in an email or SMS.

Paste a suspicious address into the Homoglyph Checker or check it against the DestroyList.
