Full analysis
Overview
This website is a single-page crypto landing site, hosted on a free subdomain of a shared application-hosting platform. It presents itself as the official "Season 2" HYPE airdrop claim portal for the Hyperliquid trading protocol. It tells visitors to "Connect. Check. Claim.": connect an EVM wallet, check eligibility and sign a transaction to receive tokens. It advertises a pool of 238.8M HYPE (23.88% of a stated 1B supply), "1.2M+" eligible addresses and a live countdown with about 89 days remaining. Its apparent purpose is not a real token distribution. It works as a wallet-access and transaction-signing funnel dressed in a well-known exchange's branding.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
Contradictory signals are present and decisive. The domain is blacklisted by external threat-intelligence sources, with one engine rating it malicious and another suspicious. Historical records also associate it with known phishing. The site imitates a recognised trading protocol. The page title, the "HyperliquidAirdrop" branding and a scrolling ticker of market prices (HYPE at $28.47 and eleven other tokens, including BTC, ETH, SOL and DOGE) all borrow credibility from the real platform. The homepage gives no official domain, announcement, audit or allocation proof. It adds urgency through the countdown, the "STATUS: CLAIMABLE" panel and the warning that unclaimed HYPE "returns to community fund". Sandbox observation of the homepage recorded three outbound data submissions to non-allow-listed destinations. Most observed traffic was external, and repeated console errors were logged. A claim flow that asks for a transaction signature on an unverified page is the standard mechanism for draining wallets or obtaining malicious token approvals. Abuse reports exist against a shared address of the hosting provider. They are discounted because they apply to shared infrastructure rather than this site specifically. They do not offset the blacklist or the on-page evidence. Evidence:
- Homepage: wallet-connection and transaction-signature prompts, a countdown timer, and the claim "238.8M... 23.88% total supply" with no source or proof.
- Homepage: branding and a market-price ticker that imitate the real protocol, with no official domain or verifiable announcement.
- Domain registered about 0.62 years ago (~228 days). The web archive holds 2 snapshots, both from 2026 (1 year tracked).
- Behavioral run: 3 non-allow-listed outbound POSTs, 12 console errors, and a peak of 95.5% external traffic across 3 runs.
Regulatory Verification Notes
No legal entity, company name, license, registration number, terms page or privacy policy appears on the site, and no contact details or physical address are given. The operator's real-world identity is therefore unverified, and ownership is opaque. Only one name is presented on the site, so there is no identity contradiction. For a service that asks visitors to sign blockchain transactions, this gap is material rather than administrative. No project distributing tokens at the claimed scale would omit its issuer, token terms and claim conditions. Third-party broker data returned no match, so no external regulatory standing is available to weigh against these gaps. Evidence:
- Homepage: no legal entity, license, terms, privacy policy or contact channel in the page content.
- Hosting on AS16509 (AMAZON-02 - Amazon.com, Inc., US), registry ARIN, country US.
- TLS certificate issued by WR1 (DV, domain-validated only), valid to 2026-11-27 (37 days remaining). It shows only domain control, not organisational identity.
- Not listed in any DeFi protocol directory, so no recognised protocol or TVL backs the project it claims to represent.
What to Verify Next
Any airdrop claim should be checked against the protocol's official channels, reached independently of this page. These include its verified social accounts and documentation, and an official announcement of a Season 2 distribution with a claim address published in more than one trusted place. Eligibility should never be tested by connecting a wallet to this page. If a wallet was already connected or a transaction signed, review and revoke token approvals with a reputable approval-management tool, and move remaining assets to a fresh wallet. Any contact or support channel should be confirmed through the real project's own official sources, not through this site. Evidence:
- Homepage: gives no link to an official announcement, documentation or audit.
- Homepage: the countdown and "claimable" status can be checked against the project's real communications.
- Homepage: the claim step requests a transaction signature, which is where the main loss risk lies.
Summary Verdict
The available evidence points to a high-risk, impersonating crypto-claim page rather than a legitimate project site. Confirmed external threat detections, brand imitation and a wallet-signing mechanism with no verifiable backing reinforce one another, and no positive signal outweighs them. The apparent operator and purpose are unverified, and the overall posture is clearly cautionary.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site is served from Amazon-hosted network space behind the hosting platform's CDN edge. All four observed addresses are edge servers, and the origin server was not observable. This provides a valid TLS certificate and stable HTTP responses, but only as a minor mitigating factor. Edge-only visibility prevents independent verification of the hosting and allows content to be swapped quickly. Protective infrastructure cannot offset the confirmed threat detections and does not show the site is legitimate.
Closing Assessment
The site should not be used for login, wallet connection, transaction signing or any financial interaction. At most, it should be treated as a read-only reference, and only as an example of a suspected phishing page. Anyone who has already interacted with it should revoke wallet approvals immediately and move funds to a new wallet. The page should be reported to the hosting platform and to the real protocol's security team.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about hyperliquid-season2.vercel.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.
