Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
This domain, x-quant.network, is a confirmed phishing site impersonating MetaMask and promoting a fake airdrop scam. Registered on February 21, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, the domain was active until recently taken offline. Infrastructure analysis reveals it was hosted behind Cloudflare nameservers (itzel.ns.cloudflare.com, trevor.ns.cloudflare.com) and resolved to IP 18.222.140.9, located in the US under AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.). The page title, 'Quant Treasury Pool — Rewards Distribution,' aligns with known fake airdrop schemes targeting cryptocurrency users. Security vendor detections on VirusTotal show 6 of 93 engines flagging the domain as malicious, while it appears on three independent blocklists.
PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL have already classified this domain as blocked. No SSL certificate was present, which is atypical for legitimate financial or crypto-related services. The domain’s Gridinsoft trust score is 0/100, reinforcing its malicious classification. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk infrastructure.
While currently offline, the registration details and hosting setup suggest potential for re-emergence under similar domains or IP ranges. Monitoring for newly registered domains with comparable naming patterns (e.g., 'quant-' prefixes, 'treasury,' or 'rewards') and Cloudflare nameservers may help preempt further campaigns. Historical DNS records and passive DNS data should be reviewed to identify any linked infrastructure. Given the confirmed impersonation of MetaMask, security teams should alert users about fake airdrop scams and reinforce warnings against interacting with unverified reward distribution pages.

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.

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.
