Stored registration data identifies NameSilo as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate registrar investigations; that broader material is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
The domain lightchainal.network is a phishing site engaged in brand impersonation targeting users of the cryptocurrency data platform coinmarketcap. It presents itself as a legitimate service under the name 'Lightchain Protocol AI' but is designed to deceive visitors into connecting wallets, posing an elevated risk of financial theft through wallet-connect phishing. As of the latest verification, lightchainal.network has been taken offline, though prior activity classified it as a scam.
Technical indicators confirm the malicious nature of lightchainal.network. The domain was flagged by 2 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including CRDF and Gridinsoft, which assigned a trust score of 0/100. It appears on 4 security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura. Registered through NameSilo, LLC on September 12, 2025, the domain resolved to the IP address 64.29.17.1, hosted on Amazon.com, Inc.'s infrastructure (AS16509) in the US. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt / R12, and the observed page title was 'Lightchain Protocol AI - Lightchain.ai'. Nameservers were ns1.vercel-dns.com and ns2.vercel-dns.com, and Google Safe Browsing did not flag the domain at the time of assessment.
Users who interacted with lightchainal.network should immediately revoke any token approvals granted to the site and transfer funds to a new, secure wallet. If credentials were entered, change passwords on the legitimate coinmarketcap platform and enable two-factor authentication. Report the phishing domain to the registrar (NameSilo, LLC), relevant blocklists, and platforms like Google Safe Browsing or PhishTank to aid in mitigation efforts.

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.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

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.
