The page may look different now._ ## Key findings - Automated classification: Sensitive Interaction Risk. - Domain age: 1 to 3 years (registration continuity). - Public web-archive history exists since 2024. - At least one reputation service TrustSniffer consulted had flagged this domain at assessment time. ## Full analysis ### Security Alert Fortinet, Google, Kaspersky, Sophos flagged this site in external intelligence checks, indicating elevated compromise/scam exposure that requires immediate caution. XRPL Swap is a cryptocurrency token-swap website. Its homepage title presents it as "The #1 XRP Token Swap" and an "Instant DEX on XRP Ledger", a decentralized exchange front end for trading tokens on the XRP Ledger. The page carries a substantial amount of promotional text, and its apparent business model is facilitating token swaps for visitors who connect crypto assets. ### Scam/Impersonation Risk This site shows **confirmed contradictory signals**, and the assessment is accordingly cautionary. The domain is currently **blacklisted** by several leading security vendors, who classify it as malicious. The coverage is broad enough to be decisive, and it overrides any mitigating technical hygiene. Separately, the network address hosting the site has recent abuse reports. These reports sit on a shared hosting address, so they cannot be attributed to this site's operator alone. They still add to the reputational weight. No conflicting legal identities and no impersonation of a named brand were observed. The "#1 XRP Token Swap" headline is an unverifiable superlative, and it is made by a very young site in a sector where look-alike swap interfaces are common. Automated browsing sessions did not observe wallet-drainer behaviour, clipboard tampering, hidden forms, or cloaking. This is a point of balance, but it does not offset the external detections, and it cannot rule out later changes to the page. Evidence: - Homepage: titled as the "#1 XRP Token Swap" and "Instant DEX on XRP Ledger", a superlative that is not independently substantiated. - Reputation checks: multiple major security vendors flag the domain as malicious, and one flags it as suspicious. This triggered an automatic cap on the assessment. - Hosting address 186.2.175.35: 5 abuse reports, most recently within the past week. They fall on a shared data-center address and are not specific to this site. - Registration history: registered 2026-07-31 (~0.24 years old). Only 4 archive snapshots exist, spanning 2024-12 to 2025-07, which predate the current registration. This points to an earlier ownership cycle that is not explained on the site. ### Regulatory Verification Notes The site does not make an identifiable regulatory or licensing representation that could be checked against an official registry, and no third-party broker or regulator record matched it. The operator's real-world identity is therefore unconfirmed. Registrant details exist only in generic form ("Domain Administrator"), and they link the domain to no verifiable entity. The site also does not appear in any major DeFi protocol directory, so its claim to be a functioning exchange rests on its own marketing. A swap or exchange service that handles customer funds would normally disclose its operating entity, jurisdiction, and applicable registrations. The absence of such disclosure is a verification gap and is not proof of wrongdoing, but here it sits alongside confirmed external detections. Evidence: - Registrar: Atak Domain. Registrant: "Domain Administrator" (organization shown as "Registrant of xrplswap.com"). The domain expires 2027-07-31. - Hosting: AS59692 (IQWEB - IQWeb FZ-LLC, AE). - Transport encryption: TLS certificate issued by YR2 (DV, domain validation only), valid to 2027-01-20. It confirms an encrypted connection and says nothing about the operator. - Homepage: no named operating company, license number, or regulator is presented in the captured content. ### What to Verify Next Before any interaction, a prospective user should find the official XRPL swap or DEX interfaces through the XRP Ledger ecosystem's established documentation. They should compare this domain against those independent sources and should not rely on search ads or shared links. Any claim of a legal operator or license should be checked directly with the relevant financial regulator's public register. Support and contact channels should be confirmed through an independent route. Security teams should monitor the domain's detection status and re-evaluate only if the external listings are formally cleared. Evidence: - Domain history: registered 2026-07-31, with archive captures dating from 2024-12 to 2025-07 that predate that registration. The ownership lineage should be confirmed independently. - Homepage: the "#1" positioning cannot be verified from within the site and needs external corroboration. - Reputation: current vendor detections mean any pre-contact check should be repeated against fresh results. ### Summary Verdict The overall posture is **high risk**. Active, multi-source security detections, a very young registration, and an unverified operator outweigh the site's technically orderly presentation. The apparent business is a crypto swap venue, and its legitimacy is not established by the available evidence. Sensitive interactions are not supported. ### Infrastructure Integrity The site resolves to a single directly exposed address at a UAE-based hosting provider (IQWeb FZ-LLC, AS59692). No CDN or WAF layer sits in front of it, so no protective infrastructure mitigates the reputational findings. The address has a modest history of abuse reports on shared hosting. Heuristic indicators, which are unconfirmed, point to a mismatch between hosting geography and registry and to a thin footprint for a young domain. A valid TLS certificate is present, but it is a basic domain-validated one and carries little weight here. ### Closing Assessment Read-only viewing, if needed at all, should stay in an isolated environment. Wallets should not be connected, credentials should not be entered, and no funds or assets should be committed to the site. Legitimate XRP Ledger swap services should be reached only through independently verified official channels, and anyone who has already interacted with the site should review their wallet permissions. _Written analysis generated 2026-10-27 by the TrustSniffer Analysis Engine from the evidence in this report._ ## What the analysis found 4 findings contributed to this verdict, raised by governance, external reputation, behaviour in a sandbox, hosting and network. ### 01 Governance - A threat feed lists this domain as malicious, and that caps the score whatever the other checks found. (Governance `rule:GOV_CRITICAL_BLACKLIST`) ### 02 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`) ### 03 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`) ### 04 Hosting and network - The hosting and network setup shows a moderate level of risk indicators. (Hosting and network `rule:DNS_RISK_MED`) - The domain is young and has almost nothing else set up around it. (Hosting and network `rule:DNS_SPARSE_YOUNG_DOMAIN`) - The domain is young and has a very small footprint on the network. (Hosting and network `rule:DNS_LOW_FOOTPRINT_YOUNG_DOMAIN`) ### Signals weighed against the site - AbuseIPDB: 5 reports on hosting IP 186.2.175.35 (IQWeb FZ-LLC, Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit), 11% confidence. The reports are attributed to shared infrastructure, not specifically to this website. ## 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.

[Review TrustSniffer on Trustpilot](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/trustsniffer.com) A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about xrplswap.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 - [distribution-cases-portal-ftx.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/distribution-cases-portal-ftx.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [ansdrops.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/ansdrops.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 10/100) - [xrp-bridge.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/xrp-bridge.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [goldfishclaims.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/goldfishclaims.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [goldfishclaim.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/goldfishclaim.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [airdrop-cate.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/airdrop-cate.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [solflere.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/solflere.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 5/100) - [marketlisstingvotes.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/marketlisstingvotes.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [aave-fi.info](https://trustsniffer.com/report/aave-fi.info), another site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [claim-yakkamon.com](https://trustsniffer.com/report/claim-yakkamon.com), another .com site assessed as critical-risk (Critical Risk, 0/100) - [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 - [Connect a Wallet to a Scam Site: What Happens](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/connect-wallet-to-a-scam-site-what-happens) - [Stablecoin Freezes, Oct 24, 2026: 15 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-10-24) - [Fake Airdrop Sites Show a Number, Not a Transfer](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/fake-airdrop-sites-show-a-number-not-a-transfer) --- *Source: [TrustSniffer](https://trustsniffer.com/report/xrplswap.com) — independent automated trust & fraud analysis.
