pendle-ecosystem.icu is an impersonation phishing page that posed as Pendle, the DeFi protocol for trading and fixing yield. It carried Pendle's own tagline, "Pendle - Liberating Yield," as its page title, and the "ecosystem" wording in the domain was meant to pass as an official extension of the project. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-29. The site has been offline since 2026-09-30, and it was still dead with no active DNS when last checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
Pages like this copy the look of a real DeFi front end so that Pendle users arriving from ads, fake announcements or social replies believe they are on the genuine app. The visitor is asked to connect a wallet and then approve a transaction or sign a message presented as a routine deposit, claim or yield action. That signature can hand the operator permission to move tokens, so the victim loses whatever assets the approval covers, often without noticing until the balance is gone. The familiar tagline in the browser tab is a key part of the deception.
Evidence
Automated scanners were slow to catch this one. On 2026-09-29, only alphaMountain.ai flagged it among 91 VirusTotal engines, so a clean-looking scan result would not have protected anyone. Wallet-side defenses carried more weight here. The domain is listed by MetaMask and SEAL alongside PhishDestroy, which means many users would see a warning before they could connect.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-09-27 through Eranet International Limited and was detected two days later. It went dark within roughly a day of detection. That short lifespan is typical of disposable phishing domains, which are used briefly and abandoned once they are blocked. Traffic ran through Cloudflare, Inc. infrastructure geolocated to Canada, so the operator's actual origin server was not exposed.
What to do
If you connected a wallet to this site, use a token-approval checker to revoke any permissions granted around 2026-09-29 to 2026-09-30. If you signed transactions you did not fully understand, move your remaining funds to a fresh wallet. Never type a seed phrase into any site, and treat a phrase you entered here as compromised. Reach Pendle only through bookmarks or links verified on its official channels. Defenders should block the domain, hunt for lookalike "pendle-" registrations on low-cost TLDs, and push wallet-warning lists to users, since VirusTotal coverage alone missed this page almost entirely.
No. PhishDestroy classifies pendle-ecosystem.icu as a Pendle impersonation page (risk: critical, 95/100); it was first detected on 2026-09-29. VirusTotal: 1/91 engines flag it. Treat the site as unsafe.
Is pendle-ecosystem.icu safe to connect a wallet?
No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on pendle-ecosystem.icu. Phishing sites ask for approvals (approve, setApprovalForAll, Permit2) that let the operator move your assets, and a confirmed transaction cannot be reversed.
What should I do if I used pendle-ecosystem.icu?
Change every password you entered there and turn on two-factor authentication. If you connected a wallet or signed something, revoke the approvals and move the remaining funds to a new wallet; never share your seed phrase. Step-by-step help: emergency guide.

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.

After a phishing incident
Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
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
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
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 pendle-ecosystem.icu)
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)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
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 phishing scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
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
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
