Is genesispool.org legit or a scam?
A malicious Ethereum-themed wallet drainer using a 12-day-old domain and fake auditor logos to steal cryptocurrency through a fraudulent airdrop claim.
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.

MT Intelligence
The site is a textbook example of an airdrop drainer, registered only 12 days ago. It impersonates the official Ethereum brand to offer a fake $10,000 reward, a common tactic used to lure victims into connecting their wallets. SOCRadar has already flagged the domain for phishing activity. We found that the 'live' claim feed and auditor endorsements from firms like CertiK and OpenZeppelin are entirely fabricated. The technical infrastructure is linked to known scam networks with multiple abuse reports on the hosting IP.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for genesispool.org, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- Domain is only 12 days old (registered around June 7, 2026).
- Site claims to offer an official 'Ethereum Genesis Airdrop' distributing 12.5M tokens, up to $10,000 per eligible wallet, gas-free and non-custodial.
- Page includes fake 'live mempool feed' showing $1.28M claimed today, countdown timer, and 'secured by' list of major auditors (CertiK, OpenZeppelin, Trail of Bits, etc.) with no evidence of real audits.
- No company name, team information, verifiable smart contract address, or legitimate disclaimers found on the page.
- Very similar to multiple previously flagged phishing sites (e.g. eth-genesis.org, ethgenesis.org) that use the exact 'Ethereum Genesis Airdrop' theme to deliver wallet drainers.

Crypto scam / wallet-drainer indicators
The page shows patterns common to crypto-investment scams, fake airdrops, and wallet drainers.
- Do not interact with genesispool.org
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.
- OpenReport 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.
