This domain, proposals-ethena.finance, operates as a crypto wallet drainer specifically designed to impersonate the legitimate Ethena Protocol platform. The site presents itself as an official proposal submission or governance portal for Ethena, a synthetic dollar protocol, using identical branding elements such as logos, color schemes, and interface layouts. Analysis indicates the primary threat involves malicious smart contract interactions triggered when users connect their wallets, leading to unauthorized token transfers and irreversible asset loss. The fraudulent site employs deceptive prompts, such as fake airdrop claims or governance voting mechanisms, to manipulate users into executing harmful transactions. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-risk indicators. The domain was registered on April 06, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with fraudulent domains. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which has been linked to other malicious campaigns. Security vendors flag the domain at a rate of 14 out of 95 on VirusTotal, and it appears on four distinct security blocklists, including those maintained by blockchain security firms. The creation date, combined with the rapid flagging by multiple security entities, suggests a coordinated effort to exploit Ethena Protocol’s growing user base. Users who visited proposals-ethena.finance should immediately revoke any wallet permissions granted to the site via their wallet’s connected applications interface. It is critical to audit all recent transactions for unauthorized activity and transfer remaining assets to a new, secure wallet if any interaction with the domain occurred. Additionally, affected users should monitor for secondary phishing attempts, such as follow-up emails or social media messages, which may leverage stolen interaction data to perpetuate further fraud. No legitimate governance or proposal submission for Ethena Protocol occurs through this domain, and all official communications are conducted via verified channels.

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.

Accountability draft Nothing is sent automatically.
