This domain, btc-to-xmr.exchange, is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation targeting Aave, a decentralized finance protocol. The site presents itself as a BTC to XMR exchange service with a page title advertising anonymous, instant swaps with no KYC requirements, which is a common lure for cryptocurrency-related scams. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3, hosted in the United States on Cloudflare (AS13335), and uses nameservers meera.ns.cloudflare.com and porter.ns.cloudflare.com. It is registered via NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1). As of the report date, the domain is active with an HTTP 200 status. VirusTotal data indicates 5 of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious, and it appears on the PhishDestroy blocklist. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, suggesting strong consensus on its malicious nature. The exact visual content of the site has not been analyzed, so it is unclear whether the page mimics Aave's branding or solely operates as a fake exchange. Defenders should block this domain at the network level and monitor for related registrations, as it may be part of a broader campaign to steal cryptocurrency through fake swap services. Users should be warned that any funds sent to this site are likely lost to scammers.

Accreditation and RAA context

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.

RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Accountability draft Nothing is sent automatically.
