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.

Visual red flags detected in the screenshot

The site appears to be a professionally designed landing page for a cryptocurrency payment protocol currently in a testnet phase; while it has some minor rendering issues with icons, it lacks typical scam indicators.

Confidence
The domain arcpay-tan.vercel.app was created today and hosts a landing page for a stablecoin payment tool on the Arc testnet. Our browser blocklist feeds flagged the page for social engineering, which is a strong automated signal. The site displays prominent wallet-connect buttons typical of crypto applications, yet provides no email, phone, or address for support. No business registration records exist for ArcPay or this deployment. While the page content matches descriptions of legitimate testnet demos, the combination of zero-age domain, blocklist hit, and missing contact details raises the risk that this is a wallet-drainer template deployed under the cover of a testnet project.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page presents itself as ArcPay, a tool for sending USDC and swapping between USDC and EURC on the Arc blockchain testnet. It features prominent 'Connect Wallet' and 'Add Arc Testnet' buttons along with claims of instant finality and near-zero fees. No contact email, phone number, or postal address appears anywhere on the page. The body text explicitly states the service runs on testnet, which aligns with other developer-deployed demos on Vercel.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on Vercel at IP 216.198.79.67 with a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. The hosting IP shows zero abuse score but carries 13 prior abuse reports. External resources load from arc.network, docs.arc.network, and faucet.circle.com, consistent with a testnet environment. One redirect hop occurs within the same domain.

Domain History

The domain arcpay-tan.vercel.app is 0 days old. No registrar information is available due to the subdomain nature of the deployment. The evidence package confirms no business registration records exist for ArcPay or related projects on the Arc blockchain.

Web Reputation

Our antivirus network returned clean results with 0 of 92 engines flagging the page. However, browser blocklist feeds flagged it for social engineering. Web searches found no scam reports, complaints, or positive reviews for this specific subdomain. Similar *-tan.vercel.app deployments have been flagged as phishing in unrelated campaigns, though this particular instance shows no direct clone indicators.

What this means for you

Connecting a wallet to this page carries elevated risk because the domain is brand new, the page is blocked by major browser protections, and there is no verifiable operator behind the project. Even though the content appears to be a testnet demo, the lack of any established presence means funds could be at risk if the site is a drainer.

Risk Factors
5
  • Domain registered today with no prior history.
  • Browser blocklists flag the page for social engineering.
  • No contact email, phone, or address listed anywhere on the site.
  • No business registration records found for ArcPay or the project.
  • Vercel subdomains are commonly used for both legitimate testnet apps and phishing deployments.
Positive Signals
3
  • Zero detections across our antivirus network.
  • Page explicitly states it runs on Arc testnet rather than claiming mainnet activity.
  • Visual design appears professional with consistent branding.
AI Recommendation
Do not connect any wallet or approve transactions on this page. Wait for an established mainnet deployment with verifiable business contact details before interacting.

What to do

Crypto scam / wallet-drainer indicators

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

  • Do not interact with arcpay-tan.vercel.app

    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.

Safer Alternatives

Trying to handle crypto? Use a safe option instead

Dealing with crypto? Use a regulated, well-established exchange rather than an unknown site — and never connect your wallet or enter a seed phrase on a page you can't verify.

Suggestions for safety only — not endorsements. Always verify the address bar before signing in or paying, even on well-known sites.
