Full analysis
What this website is
a MetaMask-branded cryptocurrency wallet and financial-services platform presenting visitors with crypto purchases and sales, token swaps, perpetual trading, tokenized assets, a card, an interest-bearing money account, and developer integrations.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions were observed across the supplied evidence: there were no phishing, impersonation, blacklist, malicious-reputation, or conflicting-identity indicators. The homepage presents a coherent wallet and exchange business model, including token swaps, perpetual positions with up to 50x leverage, prediction-market functionality, tokenized stocks and ETFs, a card, and an account offering earning features. These are legitimate-looking financial products but involve material market, counterparty, and loss exposure; the site’s apparent legitimacy should therefore remain distinct from the suitability or safety of any individual transaction. The homepage also showed no login form, hidden sensitive form, wallet-drainer activity, clipboard hijacking, or suspicious inline script.
- The domain registration record shows creation on 2015-07-02 and an age of 11.12 years.
- The homepage identifies the MetaMask wallet product and describes buying, selling, swaps, perps, tokenized assets, prediction features, card services, and developer tools.
- Behavioral inspection recorded 0 wallet-connect runs, 0 wallet-sensitive runs, 0 wallet-drainer runs, 0 clipboard-write detections, and 0 hidden forms.
- External reputation checks recorded 0 malicious and 0 suspicious detections, with no blacklist hit and 0 abuse reports.
Regulatory Verification Notes
Available evidence is consistent with an established, apparently legitimate website, but the real-world operator identity is not independently verified. The registration record names ConsenSys Software Inc.; that record is a useful identity signal, not proof that the website is operated by that entity. The supplied homepage content does not display a licensing authority or license number, so licensing and jurisdictional permissions for the financial services described remain a transparency and verification matter rather than evidence of a scam. A separate broker-reputation dataset produced no match, which is contextual support only and not a regulatory determination.
- The domain is registered through Cloudflare, Inc.; the registration record lists ConsenSys Software Inc. and an expiration date of 2027-07-02.
- The site is served through AS13335, Cloudflare, Inc., US.
- The transport certificate is issued by WE1, uses DV validation, and is valid to 2026-10-26.
- The homepage content contains no displayed license authority or license number.
What to Verify Next
Before credential or payment interactions, independently confirm the legal entity responsible for the relevant service, the applicable licensing position in the user’s jurisdiction, the governing terms, and available payment-protection or recovery mechanisms. Contact channels should be confirmed through an independently sourced route rather than relying solely on links or addresses presented on the site.
- The homepage provides product and support navigation but does not, in the supplied content, establish independently verified operator identity.
- The homepage describes financial services whose licensing and jurisdictional availability should be checked against the relevant official registry.
- The supplied page analysis found no sensitive forms, so identity and payment checks should be completed before moving from the landing page to account or transaction workflows.
Summary Verdict
This is a high-trust, low-risk website posture supported by an established digital footprint, clean external reputation, coherent product content, and no observed scam or impersonation contradictions. The site is apparently legitimate and suitable for ordinary consideration, subject to the stated qualification that its real-world operator identity has not been independently verified.
Infrastructure Integrity
The website is protected by Cloudflare’s CDN and WAF, with traffic observed through Cloudflare edge infrastructure and a potential origin candidate. This architecture reduces direct exposure of the service infrastructure and is a mitigating security signal, but it is not independently proof of operator legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Proceed with ordinary independent merchant-identity, licensing, terms, and payment-protection checks before submitting credentials or making payments; after those checks, interaction may be considered proportionate to the site’s established trust posture.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about metamask.io 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.
