“Nexchain AI Layer 1 Blockchain: Top Crypto Presale”
Evidence Summary
On July 24, 2026, the domain nexchain.exchange was observed as an offline crypto‑drainer site that masquerades as the brand “Across”. The site’s HTML title reads “Nexchain AI Layer 1 Blockchain: Top Crypto Presale”, indicating a token‑presale lure. Registration data show the domain was created on 3 December 2025 and is registered through Dynadot LLC. DNS resolution points to 188.114.97.3, an IP address owned by Cloudflare (AS13335) located in the United States. The authoritative nameservers are josephine.ns.cloudflare.com and lex.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming Cloudflare as the hosting provider. TLS termination is performed by Google Trust Services under the WE1 certificate, and the site advertises HTTP/3 support.
VirusTotal analysis records four detections out of ninety‑five AV engines, confirming that a minority of scanners have flagged the domain. Independent blocklist monitoring lists the domain on four public blocklists: PhishDestroy, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura, and it appears on four additional security blocklists. The Gridinsoft trust score is 0 / 100, reinforcing the malicious classification. The payload appears to be built on the Angel Drainer kit and employs a Token Presale phishing template, targeting wallet credentials and seed phrases. Given the limited detection coverage, the precise content served by the site cannot be confirmed without live access, which is currently unavailable because the domain is offline.
Nevertheless, the convergence of low trust scoring, multi‑vendor detections, and inclusion on reputable blocklists provides strong evidence of a high‑risk crypto‑draining operation. Defenders should continue to block the domain at DNS and proxy layers, monitor for any re‑hosting attempts, and add the domain to internal indicator lists. Incident responders should also watch for related domains registered through the same registrar or sharing the same Cloudflare IP range, as the infrastructure pattern suggests reuse across campaigns.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with nexchain.exchange — act now.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
- Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
- Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
- Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
- Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
- Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:
- Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g.,
0x5856...35985) - Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
- Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
- Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
- Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
- All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including
nexchain.exchange) - Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
- FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
- Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
- 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
