Verdict
This assessment found strong scam indicators. Do not pay, sign in, or share personal details with this site.
coinmarketcap-votev421.netlify.app shows high-risk / scam indicators.
| What this site appears to be | A page titled 'Vote — CoinMarketCap Listing' that imitates CoinMarketCap branding under a 'MarketVote' label. It asks visitors to connect a wallet, hold at least 0.05 ETH and sign a message to vote for a token's listing, with urgency timers and unverifiable fast-track listing and audit claims. The sensitive wallet-signature step and brand mimicry, with no verifiable operator, make it high risk. |

Full analysis
Overview
This website is a single-page "Community Vote" portal presented as a CoinMarketCap listing vote under a "MarketVote" label. It copies CoinMarketCap's navigation, footer, copyright line and call-to-action wording, and invites visitors to connect a crypto wallet and cast a "free" vote for a token to be listed. Its apparent purpose is to funnel visitors into a wallet-signature interaction under the guise of an exchange-listing process. The page explains neither the operator nor the value flow.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site is blacklisted by an external threat-intelligence source, which is a confirmed contradiction. The page content points the same way, so there is strong cross-evidence convergence on a deceptive design. The page imitates a well-known market-data brand while stating that it is a third-party "MarketVote" service. It tells visitors that the community listing vote is "live on CoinMarketCap" and that they should continue to a "secure voting page". It requires visitors to connect a wallet, hold a minimum native balance of 0.05 ETH and sign a message in order to vote. A balance gate combined with a signature request is a classic pre-qualification step for wallet-targeted abuse, because it filters for visitors holding funds. Countdown timers and a live vote counter add urgency. The page also promises a fast-track listing review for top-ranked projects but never explains how votes or fees lead to any listing outcome or who receives value. The claims do not match the evidence on the page. The audit status reads "CertiK Verified", yet the page shows no contract address, no DEX pool, empty market capitalisation, volume and liquidity fields, and a "Pending" status. The page also says the token is "not verified by CoinMarketCap". The tokenomics breakdown (1B supply, 55% community, 25% liquidity pool) is unsubstantiated filler. The site's own example prompts reference well-known stablecoin contracts, which suggests a template rather than a real campaign. The sandbox also recorded heavy external network activity and a mismatch between the intended and final destination. Together these indicate a deceptive design aimed at wallet interaction, not a legitimate listing mechanism. No conflicting legal entities were found, because no legal entity is shown at all. Evidence:
- Homepage: branded as "Vote — CoinMarketCap Listing" with CoinMarketCap-style navigation, footer and copyright, operating from a free-hosting subdomain that has no relationship to the brand it imitates.
- Homepage: wallet connection, a 0.05 ETH balance gate and a message-signature request, with countdown timers and a live vote counter.
- Homepage: "CertiK Verified" audit label alongside no contract, no DEX pool, blank market data and "Pending" status.
- Domain registered 2026 (~22 days old); 1 archive snapshot, first and last seen 2026-09-29 (1 year tracked), meaning no meaningful history.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The site presents no legal entity, registered address, contact channel, licence or registration number on any observed page, and no regulatory standing is claimed or verifiable. For a service that asks visitors to authorise wallet actions and implies a commercial relationship with a major data provider, this absence is a material transparency gap. Operator identity could not be independently connected to any real-world brand or person. No third-party broker or regulatory listing was matched, so there is no external reputational context beyond the blacklisting already described. Evidence:
- Homepage: no company name, jurisdiction, address, terms of service or privacy disclosure, and no licence or registration claim.
- Homepage: the only copyright attribution is to "MarketVote", with no accountable entity behind it.
- Served from AS16509 (Amazon.com, Inc., US); TLS certificate issued by DigiCert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1 (OV), valid to 2027-03-19.
- The certificate's subject organisation is the hosting platform (Netlify, Inc.), not the site operator, so it says nothing about who runs the site.
What to Verify Next
Any claim of a CoinMarketCap listing vote should be checked only by opening the official CoinMarketCap site through a manually typed address or a trusted bookmark, never through a link from this page. Any token the vote refers to should be traced by its actual contract address on a public block explorer, since the page shows none. Anyone who has already connected a wallet or signed a message should review and revoke token approvals through a reputable approval-management tool and, where funds are significant, move assets to a fresh wallet. The page should be reported to the hosting platform and to CoinMarketCap's brand-protection channel. Evidence:
- Homepage: the token contract field is empty and the page itself instructs visitors to append a contract parameter to the address.
- Homepage: the "Vote for Listing" and "Continue" actions lead to a separate "secure voting page" whose destination is not shown in the observed content.
- Behavioural sandbox: the final destination differed from the expected one, and non-whitelisted outbound POST requests were recorded.
Summary Verdict
The site carries a critical risk posture. A confirmed external blacklisting, deliberate brand mimicry and a wallet-signature funnel built on unverifiable claims converge on a deceptive purpose. Its technical hygiene does not offset that, and its operator remains unidentified.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site is hosted on a free-tier subdomain of a shared hosting platform, fronted by Amazon's CDN and edge network, and only edge addresses are observable. This is a mitigating factor only and does not support legitimacy, since such platforms host both genuine and abusive sites and can mask rapid content swaps. The two abuse reports on one of the site's edge addresses relate to shared provider infrastructure, not to this site specifically, and were discounted. The valid certificate and stable responses confirm only that the site is technically operational.
Closing Assessment
The site should not be used for any purpose beyond passive viewing. Wallets should not be connected, messages not signed, ETH or other assets not committed, and no credentials entered. The site's claims should not be treated as indicating any real CoinMarketCap process.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about coinmarketcap-votev421.netlify.app at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
