staking-pendle.icu was a phishing page that impersonated Pendle, the DeFi yield-trading protocol. It copied the real site's tagline in its page title, "Pendle - Liberating Yield", and the domain name promised a staking feature to Pendle users and yield farmers. PhishDestroy first detected it on 2026-09-29. It has been offline since 2026-09-30, and on 2026-10-19 its DNS was still inactive.
How the scam works
Pages like this rely on two things a user recognises: the brand and a reward. Here that meant Pendle's own slogan and a "staking" offer that suggests extra yield on tokens the visitor already holds. A visitor is usually asked to connect a wallet and approve a transaction presented as a deposit or staking step. That signature can grant spending permission over the visitor's tokens or send assets directly to the operator. Losses happen on-chain and cannot be reversed.
Evidence
On 2026-09-29, only 2 of 91 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: alphaMountain.ai and Forcepoint ThreatSeeker. That low count is typical of a page caught within a day of going live, before most vendors had reviewed it. Stronger support comes from crypto-focused blocklists. MetaMask and SEAL list the domain alongside PhishDestroy, so wallet users protected by those lists would have seen a warning.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Eranet International Limited on 2026-09-28, one day before PhishDestroy detected it. It was dead two days after registration. This short lifespan matches a disposable phishing domain built to catch traffic quickly before blocklists respond. The site sat behind Cloudflare, on an address geolocated to Canada, which hid the origin server. It used a free Let's Encrypt certificate, so the padlock in the browser showed only that the connection was encrypted, not that the site was legitimate.
What to do
If you connected a wallet to this site and signed anything, use a token-approval checker to review and revoke any approvals you granted around 2026-09-29. If tokens have already moved or you are unsure what you signed, transfer your remaining assets to a new wallet. Never share your seed phrase. Pendle will never ask for it, and any site that does is a scam. Defenders should keep blocking the domain despite its inactive DNS, because phishing domains are often revived. They should also watch for new lookalike domains that combine "staking" or "stake" with "pendle".
No. PhishDestroy classifies staking-pendle.icu as a Pendle impersonation page (risk: critical, 78/100); it was first detected on 2026-09-29. VirusTotal: 2/91 engines flag it. Treat the site as unsafe.
Is staking-pendle.icu safe to connect a wallet?
No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on staking-pendle.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 staking-pendle.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 staking-pendle.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
