Where is balancer-chainlink.com hosted?

Confidence

Our intelligence stack identified this domain as a direct clone of the legitimate balancer.fi platform. The domain name combines 'balancer' and 'chainlink' to create a false sense of official partnership, a common tactic in crypto phishing. Fortinet has already flagged the site for spam activity. The site lacks any verifiable business registration or history, and its infrastructure is hidden behind a proxy service. These factors, combined with the lack of any legitimate traffic, indicate a high-risk fraudulent operation.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site's structure is a fingerprint match for the official Balancer interface, designed to trick users into believing they are on a legitimate integration page. It leverages the branding of both Balancer and Chainlink without authorization.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted on a common proxy service frequently used by short-lived malicious sites to hide the true origin server. It utilizes a 4-hop redirect chain, which is often used to bypass automated security scanners.

Domain History

The domain was recently registered and lacks any historical reputation or global traffic ranking. It is a classic typosquat/combination domain (balancer-chainlink.com) targeting users of the real balancer.fi and chain.link services.

Web Reputation

One of our antivirus partners, Fortinet, has already blacklisted the site. There is no evidence of this domain being mentioned in any official documentation or community channels for either project it claims to represent.

Risk Factors

Confirmed clone of the legitimate balancer.fi protocol
Typosquatted domain name using brand-impersonation tactics
Flagged as malicious/spam by Fortinet
No verifiable business registration or contact information
High suspicion score based on infrastructure fingerprinting
Redirect chain used to obfuscate the final destination

Positive Signals

Valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services

AI Recommendation

Avoid this website entirely and do not interact with any 'Connect Wallet' or 'Claim' buttons. Only use the official balancer.fi domain for DeFi transactions.

Key findings

6 headline facts from open-web research

No search results return any mentions, reviews, articles, or references to the exact domain balancer-chainlink.com.
Official Balancer website is balancer.fi; official Chainlink website is chain.link. Both projects have publicly announced legitimate technical integrations (e.g. Chainlink price feeds in Balancer pools on Arbitrum).
The domain name is a classic combination/impersonation tactic commonly used in crypto phishing, airdrop scams, and wallet drainers targeting users of popular DeFi protocols.
Extensive searches for the domain + "scam", "review", "airdrop", "claim", or "complaint" returned zero direct hits; only general Chainlink/Balancer scam reports on unrelated fake sites.
No business registration, contact information, or verifiable company details associated with the domain were found.
Page could not be successfully browsed (redirect/error), which is consistent with many short-lived phishing or drainer sites.

Impersonation / typosquat

Typosquat of balancer.fi

Domain name combines 'balancer' (official DeFi protocol at balancer.fi) with 'chainlink' (official at chain.link). Legitimate projects do not use such combined domains for official sites; Balancer and Chainlink have separate official domains and have announced legitimate integrations/partnerships elsewhere.

Research summary

Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above

We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for balancer-chainlink.com and didn't find specific scam reports or complaints. For a new or low-traffic site, this is expected and often indicates the site is part of a fresh phishing campaign that has not yet been widely reported. Our research confirms that both Balancer and Chainlink operate on separate official domains and have not authorized this combined domain.

Brand impersonation detected

This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.

Do not interact with balancer-chainlink.com
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
Go to the brand's real site directly
Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.
Never download or sign in here
Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.
Report the impersonation to the brand
Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
