Assessment

zestprotocol.forum was recorded on 2026-10-07 with inclusion on both the MetaMask and SEAL blocklists, reflecting external attention from these sources. The domain was registered shortly before this observation, on 2026-10-06.

Recorded Evidence

MetaMask and SEAL each listed zestprotocol.forum on their blocklists as of 2026-10-07. Phishdestroy recorded an internal listing for zestprotocol.forum on the same date. The domain registration was completed through Spaceship, Inc. on 2026-10-06.

Interpretation

The blocklist entries from MetaMask and SEAL provide documentation from two external sources regarding zestprotocol.forum. The internal listing by Phishdestroy adds another perspective from a separate system. These records allow comparison of external and internal observations made soon after the domain’s registration.

Recommended Actions

For zestprotocol.forum, review and retain the blocklist records from MetaMask and SEAL as well as the internal listing from Phishdestroy. Compare these source records in future assessments to track any changes or additional observations. Use the documented registration information as a reference for the domain’s timeline in ongoing monitoring efforts.

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.
