## Full analysis


### Overview

This website is a single-page cryptocurrency swap front end. Its homepage is titled "THORChain Swap | Cross-Chain BTC, ETH & Crypto Swaps", so it presents itself as a cross-chain exchange for swapping Bitcoin, Ethereum and other digital assets. Its apparent purpose is to get visitors to initiate crypto-asset exchanges through the interface, so any use would involve transferring funds.


### Scam/Impersonation Risk

The domain is **blacklisted** by external reputation sources, which makes this the decisive finding. Independent detection engines classify it as malicious or suspicious, and no infrastructure protection offsets that. The domain was also registered only a short time ago. A newly created domain presenting a swap service under an established protocol's naming, combined with a blacklist listing, is a pattern consistent with a staged or imitation exchange front end. The analysis did not independently confirm brand impersonation or conflicting legal identities. The sandbox found no wallet-drainer behavior, clipboard manipulation, hidden forms, cloaking or credential posts to third parties. Network activity was heavily external, with roughly seven in ten requests going to outside destinations and three console errors during the runs. All external destinations were recognized and whitelisted. These behavioral results are mitigating, but they do not outweigh the blacklist, because a malicious flow can be switched on after a clean capture. No suspicious contact address was observed. Evidence:

- Homepage and domain reputation: external reputation sources currently flag the domain as malicious or suspicious, producing a confirmed blacklist signal.
- Domain registered 2026-08-16 (~70 days old, 0.19 years), expiring 2027-08-16.
- Homepage behavioral sandbox: three successful runs recorded 12 external fetch/XHR calls and 12 external POSTs, all to whitelisted destinations, with no cloaking and no wallet or clipboard abuse.

### Regulatory Verification Notes

The homepage offers no identifiable operating company, registration number or licensing status for what is effectively a financial exchange service. Whether the site discloses these items on-page is unclear, and the available capture shows no legal or identity pages that would resolve it. The ownership details tied to the domain registration are incomplete, which is an administrative limitation here and not an identity contradiction. No regulator or third-party broker record matched the site, and no regulated status can be assumed. A missing licence is a verification gap and not proof of fraud by itself. Here, though, it compounds an already confirmed adverse reputation finding. Evidence:

- Homepage: no named operator, jurisdiction, licence or registration reference.
- Hosted on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc., US); the only hosting identity visible is the CDN.
- TLS certificate issued by WE1 (DV, domain validation only), valid to 2027-01-21. It encrypts traffic but does not verify who operates the site.

### What to Verify Next

The homepage uses the THORChain name, while the domain is a different and unrelated brand. Before any engagement, confirm through the protocol's official channels, reached independently of this site, whether this domain is an authorized interface. Check for an official operator with a licence in a relevant registry. Confirm the site's official contact and support channels through a separate route. Do not rely on any link or address published on the site itself. Evidence:

- Homepage title says "THORChain Swap" but is served from an unrelated domain name.
- Domain registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a general-purpose registrar that provides no operator vetting.
- Only the homepage was captured, with about 1,950 characters of text. No about, terms or support pages could be reviewed to establish the operator.

### Summary Verdict

The assessment is **critical-risk and clearly cautionary**. Adverse external reputation findings and a very recent domain registration outweigh the technically sound transport security and benign sandbox behavior. The evidence is not consistent with an established, trustworthy exchange, and the real-world operator remains unidentified.


### Infrastructure Integrity

The site sits behind Cloudflare's CDN and WAF, and all four observed addresses are Cloudflare edge servers. The origin server was not observable, so hosting cannot be independently attributed, and content could be changed behind the edge without notice. This protection is a mitigating factor only. It reflects a mainstream service available to any customer and does not indicate legitimacy.


### Closing Assessment

The site should be limited to passive viewing. Wallet connections, logins, credential entry and any transfer of funds should be avoided until the reputation listing is cleared and the operator is independently established through official protocol channels.

A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about knoxexch.live 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.
