The page may look different now._ ## Key findings - Automated classification: Sensitive Interaction Risk. - Domain age: less than 1 year (registration continuity). - Public web-archive history exists since 2026. - At least one reputation service TrustSniffer consulted had flagged this domain at assessment time. ## Full analysis ### Security Alert Fortinet, Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution. The website at xdnaprotocol.com presents itself as "DNA Protocol" (XDNA). Its homepage is titled around a "Genesis Allotment" and invites visitors to "claim" a presale and loyalty bonus. It appears to be a token-distribution or crypto-presale promotion page, and its apparent business model is to draw visitors into claiming or acquiring a digital-asset allocation. ### Scam/Impersonation Risk Contradictory signals are present and decisive. Multiple independent security engines, including several leading endpoint-security vendors, currently flag the domain as malicious. The domain is **blacklisted** by external threat-intelligence sources, and the reputation penalty is severe enough that no other positive attribute can offset it. The site's own framing reinforces the concern. A "claim your presale and loyalty bonus" promotion is the standard shape of a lure that pushes a visitor toward an urgent, reward-driven action such as connecting a wallet or submitting details. The domain was registered only a few months ago and has almost no history. A new domain carrying a reward-claim pitch is a recognised pattern in token-presale fraud. Sandbox testing was less alarming in some respects: it saw no wallet-connection prompts, clipboard manipulation, hidden forms, credential forms posting off-site, or content cloaking. It did record a high share of outbound requests, including three data submissions to non-whitelisted external destinations. That is consistent with third-party data collection the page does not explain. No conflicting legal identities or brand impersonation were observed. The elevated risk rests on the external detections, the lure-style offer, and the domain's youth. Evidence: - Homepage title promotes a "Genesis Allotment" and urges visitors to claim a presale and loyalty bonus. - Homepage sandbox runs showed three outbound POST requests to non-whitelisted external destinations, and roughly seven in ten of the observed XHR requests went to external hosts. - Domain registered 2026-07-15 (~0.28 years old) through NICENIC International Group Co., Limited. - Web archive holds a single snapshot, first and last seen 2026-07-20 (1 year tracked), so the domain has no meaningful prior history. ### Regulatory Verification Notes The site shows no verified link to a real-world operator. Registration details are incomplete, which amounts to ownership opacity. The homepage gives no clear disclosure of a legal entity, licence, or regulatory registration, even though it promotes a token presale, an activity that normally falls under securities, commodities, or virtual-asset rules. This is a verification gap and does not on its own prove wrongdoing, but here it sits alongside confirmed external detections. The project is not recognised in any decentralised-finance protocol directory, so its claims cannot be corroborated independently. The site has a valid transport-encryption certificate, but a domain-validated certificate only proves control of the domain, not the legitimacy of the operator. Third-party broker-reputation datasets hold no matching record, so there is nothing to corroborate or contradict the site's claims. Evidence: - Homepage content carries no identifiable company name, licence, or registration number. - Site served from AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.), US. - TLS certificate issued by WE1 (domain-validated, DV), valid to 2026-12-11. - Not listed in the DeFiLlama protocol directory, so no TVL or market-cap figure exists for it. ### What to Verify Next Any contact with this site should start with independent confirmation that "DNA Protocol" or XDNA exists as a genuine project. That means checking whether the project's official announcements, documentation, and social channels, reached through sources unconnected to this domain, list this exact address. Anyone who received a link to the site by message, advertisement, or social post should trace it to its source and treat unsolicited promotion of a "claim" as suspect. The presale's sponsor should be checked against company and financial-regulator registries in the relevant jurisdiction, and any regulator warning lists should be searched. Official support or contact channels should be confirmed through an offline or independently sourced route, not through details printed on the page. Evidence: - Homepage offer is a presale and loyalty-bonus claim with no accompanying issuer identification. - Domain registered 2026-07-15, so any claim of an established project history on this domain cannot be supported. - External detections on the domain mean any inbound link to it should be traced to its origin before being opened again. ### Summary Verdict The overall posture is high risk. Active external threat detections, a newly created domain, and a reward-claim promotion with no verifiable operator together outweigh the site's technical hygiene. Legitimacy cannot be supported on the available evidence, and the site belongs in the category of sensitive-interaction risk. ### Infrastructure Integrity The site sits behind Cloudflare's CDN and WAF, and every observed address is a Cloudflare edge address. The origin server was not observable, so hosting cannot be independently verified. This also means the content behind the edge could be swapped quickly. The protection is a mitigating factor only. It does not offset the external threat detections or establish that the operator is legitimate. ### Closing Assessment The site should be limited to passive, read-only viewing at most. No wallet connection, login, credential entry, payment, or token purchase should take place, and nothing should be downloaded from it. Organisations should consider blocking the domain pending a clean independent reassessment. _Written analysis generated 2026-10-27 by the TrustSniffer Analysis Engine from the evidence in this report._ ## What the analysis found 5 findings contributed to this verdict, raised by external reputation, history in the web archive, hosting and network, behaviour in a sandbox, registration and ownership. ### 01 External reputation - An external threat feed lists this domain: either Google Safe Browsing marked it malicious, or a significant number of malware engines flagged it. (External reputation `rule:EXT_BLACKLIST_CRITICAL`) ### 02 History in the web archive - The web archive has almost no record of this domain, which fits a site that is new. (History in the web archive `rule:ARCH_PEN_YOUNG_AND_SPARSE`) ### 03 Hosting and network - The domain was registered between three and six months ago. (Hosting and network `rule:DNS_YOUNG_6M`) ### 04 Behaviour in a sandbox - Most of what the page loaded came from other domains rather than from this one. (Behaviour in a sandbox `rule:BEHAV_EXTERNAL_RATIO_HIGH`) - The page sent data to a destination TrustSniffer does not recognise. (Behaviour in a sandbox `rule:BEHAV_NONWHITELISTED_POSTS`) ### 05 Registration and ownership - The public registration record for this domain is incomplete. (Registration and ownership `rule:KF_WHOIS_INCOMPLETE`) ## Identity verification | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Status | UNKNOWN | | Identity score | 50/100 | | Identity verification confidence | 30% | - AI page analysis unavailable (page captured; identity not AI-verified) _Identity verification measures whether the site can be independently connected to a real-world brand or person. It is separate from the classification confidence._ ## What TrustSniffer observed First-party facts recorded during the assessment of xdnaprotocol.com. - The request stayed on xdnaprotocol.com.

[Review TrustSniffer on Trustpilot](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/trustsniffer.com) A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about xdnaprotocol.com 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. ## Related on TrustSniffer - [licrxhuteajsi.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/licrxhuteajsi.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 1/100) - [dopplervault.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/dopplervault.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [opnesea.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/opnesea.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [skinoport.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/skinoport.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 5/100) - [staking-tron.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/staking-tron.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [amltron.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/amltron.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [honeymoodevenso.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/honeymoodevenso.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [grohanhueyzbof.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/grohanhueyzbof.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [almavilag.hu](https://trustsniffer.com/report/almavilag.hu), another site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [finaldraftmedia.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/finaldraftmedia.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 5/100) - [Every website and wallet TrustSniffer has assessed](https://trustsniffer.com/directory), the full risk directory - [Other domains assessed as high-risk or phishing](https://trustsniffer.com/directory/phishing-domains), same verdict band - [Check another website](https://trustsniffer.com/web-intelligence), run a new assessment - [Check a crypto wallet address](https://trustsniffer.com/on-chain-risk), on-chain screening - [The TrustSniffer Risk Index](https://trustsniffer.com/stats), how this verdict compares ## Guides - [How to revoke token approval after a scam site](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/how-to-revoke-token-approval-after-a-scam-site) - [Stablecoin Freezes, Oct 26, 2026: 11 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-10-26) - [99.5% of flagged USDT wallets were frozen](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/99-5-of-flagged-usdt-wallets-were-frozen) --- *Source: [TrustSniffer](https://trustsniffer.com/report/xdnaprotocol.com) — independent automated trust & fraud analysis.
