theweb3chain.org is a phishing domain that impersonates legitimate web services related to the emerging Web3 ecosystem. With a VirusTotal detection rate of 3/95, this domain poses risks to users who might believe it offers genuine services.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →
