The domain proposal-pendle.finance has been identified as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting the Pendle brand. Currently, this domain is offline, meaning it is no longer accessible, but its prior existence posed a significant risk to users who might have mistaken it for a legitimate Pendle site. The threat type is phishing, with the domain crafted to deceive visitors into believing they are interacting with an official Pendle platform.
Technical analysis reveals that proposal-pendle.finance was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and created on April 29, 2026. It resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt with serial E8. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is flagged by only one of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating low detection coverage. On AlienVault OTX, it was found in one threat intelligence pulse, confirming its malicious nature. Despite these low numbers, the specific targeting of the Pendle brand makes it a high-risk impersonation attempt.
Given that the domain is already offline, the immediate threat is mitigated. However, users should remain vigilant against similar phishing attempts that may use slight variations of the Pendle domain. PhishDestroy recommends that any user who may have visited proposal-pendle.finance or entered credentials should change their passwords immediately and enable two-factor authentication. Additionally, report any similar suspicious domains to security teams or registrars to prevent future attacks. Always verify URLs carefully before entering sensitive information.

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.
