The domain pepndle.finance is a confirmed phishing site engaged in brand impersonation targeting cryptocurrency users. It mimics the legitimate Aave platform, a well-known decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, to deceive victims into interacting with fraudulent smart contracts or disclosing sensitive credentials. As of the latest verification, pepndle.finance has been taken offline, though it previously posed an elevated risk as a cryptocurrency scam.

Technical analysis reveals that pepndle.finance was flagged by 1 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including SOCRadar, while Google Safe Browsing did not detect it. The domain appears on three security blocklists: PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. Registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, it was created on February 21, 2026, and resolved to the IP address 172.67.141.20, hosted on Cloudflare’s infrastructure (AS13335). The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), and the observed page title was 'Markets | Pendle.' Nameservers were kay.ns.cloudflare.com and vern.ns.cloudflare.com.

Users who interacted with pepndle.finance should immediately revoke any token approvals granted to unknown contracts using tools like Etherscan’s token approval checker or Revoke.cash. Move remaining funds to a new, secure wallet and monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions. Change passwords for any accounts accessed via the phishing site and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) where available. Report the domain to platforms such as Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, or the impersonated brand’s official abuse channels to aid in takedown 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.
