The domain metadao.foundation is an active crypto-drainer phishing site designed to steal cryptocurrency by tricking users into connecting their wallets. It impersonates Discord and utilizes the Angel Drainer kit, a known malicious toolset for draining wallet funds. As of the latest verification, metadao.foundation remains operational, posing a high risk to users who interact with it.
Technical indicators confirm the malicious nature of metadao.foundation. The domain is flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, including ADMINUSLabs and Fortinet, and appears on 2 security blocklists (PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer). It was registered on November 14, 2025, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and resolves to the IPv6 address 2606:4700:3032::ac43:b2be, hosted on Cloudflare's infrastructure (AS13335). The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services / WE1, and the observed page title is 'ΜetaDΑΟ'. The site returns an HTTP 403 status, a common tactic to evade automated detection while remaining accessible to targeted victims.
Users who may have interacted with metadao.foundation should immediately revoke any token approvals granted to the site using a wallet manager like Etherscan's Token Approval tool. Transfer remaining funds to a new, secure wallet and monitor transaction history for unauthorized activity. Report the domain to platforms such as Google Safe Browsing, ScamSniffer, or PhishTank to aid in takedown efforts. If credentials were entered, change passwords for associated accounts and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to prevent further compromise.

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.

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 →

Infrastructure map · metadao.foundation
Each lane is one reason a domain is linked to this host. Node size marks VirusTotal detections and dashed nodes are already offline. The full lists follow below.
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
