Verdict
This assessment found strong scam indicators. Do not pay, sign in, or share personal details with this site.
metacene.top shows high-risk / scam indicators.
| What this site appears to be | A MetaCene-branded page promoting a $MAK token airdrop claim, with 'Connect Wallet' as the primary action. It describes eligibility rules, tokenomics, a vesting schedule, and an FAQ. It states that claimers must pay gas, but it gives no verifiable legal entity, contract address, audit, or direct contact, and its claim dates conflict with each other. The wallet-connect and claim flow is a financial transaction with missing proof, so the page is rated CRITICAL. |

Full analysis
Security Alert
Fortinet flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.
The site is a single-page, MetaCene-branded promotional page for a "$MAK" token airdrop. It tells visitors that claims are "officially LIVE" and directs them to connect a crypto wallet, check an allocation, and claim tokens. It presents eligibility rules, a tokenomics breakdown, a vesting timeline, and an FAQ. Its apparent purpose is to draw wallet holders into a claim-and-gas transaction flow for a newly launched token, with no disclosed revenue model or operating entity behind it.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
The site has a confirmed contradiction. It is currently blacklisted by external threat intelligence, with a flag from a major security vendor, and this is the decisive factor in the assessment. No brand impersonation and no conflicting legal identities were observed. The risk therefore comes from the external listing combined with the content and mechanics of the page itself.
The homepage makes several claims that cannot be verified. It carries a "Verified Campaign" badge with no independent verification behind it. It advertises "10K eligible wallets" and "68% Claimed" as progress counters, and nothing supports either figure. Its claim window contradicts itself: the claim opens and ends on the same date, yet the page lists a 10-day claim period. It names EVM as the network while also advertising multichain support. Eligibility rests on opaque criteria: a "minimum wallet score," anti-sybil validation, wallet-age and volume filters, and a "loyal user bonus." Claiming requires connecting a wallet, signing messages, and paying gas. The page publishes no token contract address and no audit. Under these conditions the signature and gas step is a high-stakes financial interaction, and a wallet-draining or approval-abuse scheme cannot be ruled out. This is also the usual pattern of fabricated urgency and social proof around fake airdrops. The page also cites "Discord + Docs" as official support but gives no direct contact channel.
- The domain registration record is dated 27 September 2026 (about 22 days old, 0.06 years), with the current registration running to 27 September 2027 via NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED.
- The web archive holds only 2 snapshots, taken 2–4 April 2025 (1 year tracked). These predate the current registration record and give no meaningful history.
- The homepage shows "Verified Campaign," "68% Claimed," and "10K Eligible wallets" with no supporting proof, and its claim dates contradict the stated 10-day period.
- Browser testing observed a wallet-connect prompt, a message-signature request, and a required gas fee. The page publishes no contract address or audit.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The homepage names no legal entity, registered address, licence, or registration number. It does not say who operates the project or who controls the treasury allocation. Token distribution of this kind can attract securities, consumer-protection, and financial-promotion rules in many jurisdictions, but the site claims no authorisation and cites no regulator. Reputational data from brokerage-review sources produced no match. This is neutral and should not be read as clearance. The page describes only a supply split and a vesting schedule, and it says nothing about funding or revenue.
- The homepage tokenomics section lists a 1,000,000,000 $MAK total supply split 12% airdrop, 18% treasury, and 20% ecosystem. It states 40% unlocked at claim and 60% streamed over 6 months, and it names no responsible entity.
- Served from AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc., US), with the origin hosting not observable.
- The TLS certificate is issued by YE2 (DV, domain-validated only), valid to 2026-12-26. It proves control of the domain, not the identity of the operator.
- No licence, authority, or registration number appears anywhere on the page.
What to Verify Next
The claims should be tested through independent channels before any wallet is connected. The project's token contract address should be found on a block explorer and checked for source verification, holder distribution, deployer history, and approval functions. Any audit should be confirmed with the named auditor directly. The airdrop should be checked against channels the project's team has independently established, not against links found on this page. Any registered legal entity should be checked against the relevant corporate registry and financial regulator. The official support channels should be confirmed through an offline or separately sourced route.
- The homepage gives no contract address, so no on-chain check is possible from the page itself.
- The page cites "Official support: Discord + Docs" with no direct, verifiable contact path.
- The claim period (a same-day open and close alongside a stated 10-day window) cannot be reconciled from the page.
Summary Verdict
The site presents an elevated-risk, high-severity profile. An active external threat listing, a very new registration, and an unverifiable crypto claim flow converge on a cautionary conclusion. The technical hygiene signals are ordinary and do not offset this. No evidence supports treating the site as a legitimate or independently verified operation.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site sits behind Cloudflare's CDN/WAF, and all observed addresses are edge servers, so the origin server is not observable. The edge network carries no abuse reports. This offers some protection against basic attacks and is a mitigating factor only. It also prevents independent hosting verification and can mask rapid content changes. A sparse, young DNS footprint adds a minor unconfirmed heuristic concern. Protective infrastructure cannot offset the external threat listing.
Closing Assessment
The site should be treated only as a read-only reference. No wallet should be connected, no message signed, no gas paid, and no credentials, seed phrases, or funds entered or transferred. Anyone who has already interacted with the site should revoke token approvals, move assets to a fresh wallet, and report the site to their security team or the relevant platform.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about metacene.top 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.
