Is swap-byreal.net a scam? TrustSniffer's high-risk assessment: 0/100

Security Alert

Fortinet, Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution.

This website presents itself as BYREAL, a Solana decentralized-finance protocol. Its single-page app offers token swaps, concentrated-liquidity pools, SOL liquid staking, a BYRL token vault and veBYRL lock-based governance, all through a wallet-connection prompt. It describes itself as a leading Solana protocol that earns a base swap fee and liquidity-pool fees. It says it passes those fees to liquidity providers and token stakers, and invites visitors to deposit assets in exchange for advertised yields and protocol-token rewards.

Scam/Impersonation Risk

This is the decisive section of the report. Multiple major security vendors currently flag the domain as malicious, and the domain has been blacklisted on external threat-intelligence sources. That detection volume is high enough on its own to override every other signal. The domain is also very young and has almost no independent history. It embeds the protocol's brand in a hyphenated "swap-" construction, and nothing independently ties it to any real-world project or operator. No brand impersonation or phishing page was positively confirmed, but the blacklisting alone makes this a high-risk contradiction. The homepage compounds it with claims that contradict each other:

The hosting IP has also drawn recent abuse reports, but these relate to the shared provider address and are only a secondary signal. No contact-address anomaly was observed.

• The header shows a total value locked of roughly $13 million, while the marketing copy claims $640 million.
• Cumulative volume is shown as about $4.02 billion in one place and $4.8 billion in another.
• The pool table lists a top pool yield of 128.76%, while another figure cites 31.4%.
• Staking and vault yields of 7.2%–18.5% are sold as "real yield" and "no emissions", yet rewards are paid in the protocol's own BYRL token.
• The page claims five audits but links to no audit report.
• The page lists 21 tokens, including lesser-known assets alongside SOL, USDC and USDT. Visitors are asked to connect a wallet and deposit funds before any verifiable proof of the protocol's claims is offered.

Regulatory Verification Notes

The site gives no legal entity name, no licence or registration number, no regulator reference and no risk-disclosure text. For a platform asking visitors to deposit, stake and lock assets, this is a material transparency gap. It is not by itself proof of wrongdoing, but here it sits beside confirmed blacklisting and unverifiable yield claims. The audit, TVL and "real yield" statements cannot be independently substantiated from the site, and the claimed TVL does not match what the site shows elsewhere. No third-party broker or reputational dataset contained a match for the site, so no outside context supports its credentials. The site's identity has not been independently connected to any real-world operator or brand.

What to Verify Next

Any evaluation should start from the official project channels, reached by an independent route such as a documented source known before this domain was seen. Do not use links or contact details from this site. The conflicting headline figures should be checked against the real protocol's published metrics, and the claimed audits should be confirmed directly with the named audit firms. Any supposed official domain should be compared with this hyphenated one. Support and contact channels should be confirmed through that independent route. No wallet should be connected, and no funds deposited, staked or locked, while the domain remains flagged.

Summary Verdict

Converging evidence places this website in a clearly high-risk posture. Confirmed security-vendor detections, a newly created domain and self-contradictory financial claims all point the same way, and the site's identity remains unverified. Its technical hygiene and polished presentation do not alter that conclusion.

Infrastructure Integrity

The site is served from a single origin address at the hosting provider IQWeb FZ-LLC in the United Arab Emirates, with no CDN or WAF in front of it. There is therefore no protective layer to mitigate its exposure. The registry and geography differ, and the domain's young age and sparse subdomain footprint are consistent with a recently stood-up deployment. These are unconfirmed heuristics and carry little weight beside the confirmed detections. The hosting address has also drawn five recent abuse reports. They apply to a shared provider address, so they are a secondary signal about the neighbourhood, not about this site's behavior.

Closing Assessment

The site is suitable for read-only viewing at most. Wallet connections, deposits, staking, token locks and any credential entry should be avoided entirely, and the official project should be reached only through independently sourced channels.
