These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Wallet-drainer patterns detected

This page uses language and API references consistent with modern crypto wallet-drainer kits. If you connected your wallet or signed a transaction on this site, assume your wallet is compromised — revoke approvals, move funds to a fresh wallet with a new seed phrase, and treat the original as burned.

Confidence
The domain was registered exactly one day ago, which is a massive red flag for a site claiming to host high-value NFT auctions. It perfectly imitates the branding of the legitimate Archipelago and QQL projects to deceive users. The page content includes a 'Connect Wallet' prompt and a fake countdown for a Dutch auction that has already occurred on the real platform. Our analysis shows the site loads external scripts from known suspicious sources often associated with crypto-draining activity. There is no legitimate business contact information or verifiable registration for this specific domain.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The site is a pixel-perfect copy of the Archipelago NFT marketplace, specifically targeting the QQL project. It features a 'Connect Wallet' button as the primary call to action and displays a fake auction for 900 mint passes. The text claims an auction will take place in June 2026, yet shows '38 / 900' tokens remaining to create a false sense of urgency.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted behind a common CDN to mask its true origin. It loads several external assets, including scripts from 'irys.xyz' and 'clear-static-cdn.com', which are frequently used by malicious actors to host wallet-draining payloads. The site lacks any official email or physical address, which is standard for ephemeral fraud sites.

Domain History

WHOIS records show the domain was created on May 22, 2024—less than 24 hours before this analysis. It was registered through NameSilo and lacks any historical traffic or reputation. This 'disposable' domain strategy is the primary hallmark of a phishing campaign.

Web Reputation

The site has no presence on global traffic indexes or independent review aggregators. While our antivirus network has not yet flagged the URL due to its extreme youth, the technical indicators—specifically the age and the impersonation of a known brand—point to a high-risk malicious operation.

Crypto scam / wallet-drainer indicators

The page shows patterns common to crypto-investment scams, fake airdrops, and wallet drainers.

  • Do not interact with archipelagosarts.com

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

  • Never paste your seed phrase anywhere

    Legitimate wallets, exchanges and support staff will never ask for your 12/24-word recovery phrase. Typing it into any website — even one that looks real — gives attackers full access to your funds.

  • If you already connected a wallet

    Revoke token approvals immediately using revoke.cash or Etherscan's Token Approvals tool. Move remaining funds to a fresh wallet (new seed phrase). Assume the original wallet is compromised.

  • Report the wallet and URL

    File a report at IC3 (FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center) or your country's cybercrime portal. Recovery is unlikely, but reports help law enforcement map the network.
