lido-staking.vercel.app is a fraudulent site impersonating Lido, the legitimate Ethereum liquid-staking protocol, to deceive users into depositing cryptocurrency under false pretenses. It targets ETH holders attracted by staking yields, presenting itself as an official Lido interface for stETH, wstETH, rewards, and withdrawals. PhishDestroy first identified it on 2026-09-15, and as of 2026-10-19 the site remains fully live with active content.
How the scam works
The site mimics Lido's branding and product language — stETH, wstETH, APY and APR figures, fees, and withdrawal flows — to convince visitors they are interacting with the real protocol. Investment scams of this type prompt users to deposit ETH or other tokens in exchange for promised staking returns that never materialise, or they harvest wallet credentials and private keys during a fake onboarding process. The page title, styled as a comprehensive 2026 guide covering rewards, risks, and troubleshooting, is designed to appear authoritative and rank in search results, drawing in users who are researching legitimate staking options. Victims typically lose whatever funds they deposit, with no recovery path once assets leave their wallet.
Evidence
Four of 91 engines on VirusTotal flagged this domain as malicious as of 2026-09-29, with detections from ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, and VIPRE. While the VirusTotal detection count is relatively low, the site appears on three independent blocklists — PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL — providing strong corroborating confirmation of the threat across multiple security ecosystems.
Infrastructure
The domain is deployed on Vercel, a platform-as-a-service provider that also acts as registrar for this subdomain, making rapid deployment trivial. Hosting resolves to an IP within Amazon.com, Inc. infrastructure in the United States. The TLS certificate is issued by Google Trust Services under the WR1 authority, which is standard for Vercel-hosted projects and lends the site a superficially trustworthy appearance.
What to do
If you visited this site and entered any credentials, seed phrases, or private keys, treat them as fully compromised and migrate your assets to a new wallet immediately. If you deposited funds expecting staking returns, those funds are likely unrecoverable — report the incident to your exchange and local financial crime authorities. Defenders should ensure lido-staking.vercel.app is blocked at the DNS and proxy layer and report it to Vercel's abuse team for takedown.
