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

## Verdict


**Verdict: Critical Risk, trust score 0/100.** swap-byreal.net shows high-risk / scam indicators.

This assessment found strong scam indicators. Do not pay, sign in, or share personal details with this site.

Labels: Sensitive Interaction Risk

Assessed 2026-10-21 by automated analysis. Classification confidence 75%.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| What this site appears to be | BYREAL presents itself as a Solana DeFi protocol offering token swaps, concentrated-liquidity pools, SOL liquid staking, a BYRL vault and veBYRL governance, all via wallet connection. Its marketing claims 5 audits, $640M TVL and 'real yield', but the page gives no legal identity, licensing, or verifiable audit reports, and its key figures conflict with each other. Staking APYs and token rewards on a financial action with missing proof justify a CRITICAL risk band. |

## Evidence status and limitations

## Full analysis


### 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.

Evidence:
- Homepage: the header TVL, volume and APR figures conflict with the marketing copy and the pool table. A five-audit claim is made with no audit report supplied.
- Homepage: the staking and vault section advertises 7.2%–18.5% APYs paid in BYRL and veBYRL while also claiming "no emissions".
- Domain registration: registered 2026-07-30, about 0.22 years (~80 days) old, expiring 2027-07-30.
- Web archive: 1 snapshot, in 2026, covering 1 year tracked. The domain has no meaningful historical footprint.
- Behavioral capture: three runs showed no external data posts. This does not offset the confirmed security-vendor detections.

### 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.


Evidence:
- Homepage and footer: no legal entity, licence, regulator or risk-disclosure text is presented anywhere.
- Homepage: the audit claim has no named auditor or report link.
- Domain registration: registered through the registrar Atak Domain.
- Transport security: a Domain Validated TLS certificate issued by YR1, valid to 2026-10-28 (about a week of validity remaining). It confirms domain control only, not operator identity.
- DeFi tracking: no DeFi TVL-tracker listing was found to corroborate the claimed TVL.

### 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.


Evidence:
- Homepage: a wallet-connection prompt is the gateway to swaps, staking and token locks.
- Homepage: the five-audit claim, the $640 million TVL claim and the "real yield" language need independent corroboration.
- Homepage: the domain's name closely mirrors the protocol's brand, so a comparison against the official domain is needed.

### 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.

A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about swap-byreal.net 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.
