This domain is flagged as an active Ethereum wallet credential harvesting phishing site targeting users of the legitimate Ethena protocol. The site presents a fraudulent interface mimicking Ethena’s staking and governance portal, prompting visitors to connect cryptocurrency wallets and sign malicious transactions. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to intercept private keys, seed phrases, or approve unauthorized smart contract interactions, leading to immediate asset theft. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, a registrar frequently associated with phishing campaigns. It resolves to the IP address 18.222.140.9 and is hosted behind Cloudflare, obscuring backend infrastructure. The site appears on 5 security blocklists, including MetaMask’s internal threat feed, ScamSniffer’s real-time scam database, and OISD’s domain filtering list. AlienVault OTX records the domain in 11 threat intelligence pulses, while VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 engines, indicating low initial detection but high confidence from specialized cryptocurrency security tools. Users who visited votes-ethena.finance and connected a wallet should immediately revoke all active smart contract approvals using a trusted blockchain explorer. Any credentials or private keys entered must be considered compromised; affected wallets should be migrated to new, secure addresses. Monitor transaction history for unauthorized activity and report the incident to relevant cryptocurrency security response teams. Block the domain at the network level to prevent further exposure.

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.

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.
