Analysis as of July 24, 2026 indicates that www.kerneldao-launchpad.com is currently offline but exhibits multiple indicators of a high‑risk crypto‑drainer operation. The domain was registered on September 7, 2025 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and uses Cloudflare’s authoritative nameservers (justin.ns.cloudflare.com, ziggy.ns.cloudflare.com). DNS resolution points to IP 104.21.91.136, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc., and is geolocated in the United States. No TLS certificate is present, meaning the site would be served over plain HTTP if it were active, a common characteristic of phishing and drainer kits that avoid encryption overhead. VirusTotal records show that one of ninety‑five scanning engines flagged the domain, and it appears on a single security blocklist.
The domain is also listed by PhishDestroy as blocked, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, reinforcing the malicious assessment. The page title retrieved from historical scans reads “KernelDAO – Earn Rewards on Ethereum, BTC & BNB | Kelp, Gain & Kernel”, which suggests the site attempts to lure victims with promises of cryptocurrency rewards. The threat classification provided identifies the campaign as a Wallet/Seed Phishing operation that employs the Angel Drainer kit, a known tool for extracting private keys and seed phrases from unsuspecting users. The “Impersonates: across” tag indicates that the campaign may be targeting or mimicking the Across brand, although the page title does not reference that brand directly.
Because the site is offline, direct content analysis is unavailable, creating uncertainty around the exact landing page design and any additional payloads that may have been delivered. Nevertheless, the combination of a recent registration, Cloudflare hosting, lack of SSL, low trust score, detection by multiple security sources, and the explicit association with a crypto‑drainer kit presents a clear high‑risk profile.

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.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
10 recorded events. These records describe collected evidence, outgoing notifications and publication; they do not confirm a complete investigation or a takedown.
Threat Ingested
duplicate-disabled-4921.invalid detected and queued for full analysis
A stored Cloudflare Radar report is available. The report link alone is not a malicious verdict and does not prove that every network field was captured.
The latest stored checks indicate that the reported content is unavailable; this does not establish who or what caused the change.

If credentials were compromised, report immediately. Do not engage with recovery scammers.
If a wallet, seed phrase, or account was exposed, report the incident immediately. Revoke approvals and move remaining assets to a new wallet created on a trusted device.
Beware of recovery scammers! Recovery scammers may pose as investigators, lawyers, or tracing services. Do not pay upfront fees or disclose credentials. Guaranteed crypto recovery is a fraud indicator. Learn more about recovery fraud →

Content matches4
Same favicon hash or the same page title as this host.
Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
Your crypto exchange — notify its fraud team immediately; it may be able to preserve records or restrict funds held on its platform
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do crypto scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
