proposal-stacks.co is a crypto drainer impersonating the Stacks ($STX) project, flagged by multiple security vendors.
proposal-stacks.co presents itself as a Stacks ($STX) voting rewards page but is actually a cryptocurrency drainer designed to steal digital assets from visitors. Independent research identifies it as a drainer that prompts users to connect their wallets to a fake voting program, and multiple antivirus engines and security scanners flag the domain as phishing or malicious. The site currently returns an HTTP 409 error, so its own pages could not be reviewed, but the external evidence is consistent and severe.

Lost money or shared details on proposal-stacks.co? Do this now
Act quickly: the first hours matter most for a chargeback.
- Call your bank or card issuer now
Ask them to dispute the charge or open a chargeback; the sooner you act, the better your odds. Card payments can often be reversed. Bank transfers and gift cards are harder, but report them to your bank too. Crypto payments usually cannot be reversed: report the wallet address and transaction ID to the exchange you sent from.
- Change any password you entered
If you entered a password on proposal-stacks.co, change it there and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. Keep screenshots, order confirmations and messages as evidence.
- Report the site
Reports help get scam sites taken down faster and warn other people.
- Report the domain to its registrar
NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO LIMITED registered this domain. ICANN's lookup shows the registrar's abuse contact.
- Ignore anyone offering to recover your money
"Recovery" services or agents who contact you, or ask for a fee up front, are almost always a second scam aimed at victims. Your bank's dispute process and the official reporting services never charge a fee in advance.

01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
proposal-stacks.co presents itself as a Stacks ($STX) voting rewards page but is actually a cryptocurrency drainer designed to steal digital assets from visitors. Independent research identifies it as a drainer that prompts users to connect their wallets to a fake voting program, and multiple antivirus engines and security scanners flag the domain as phishing or malicious. The site currently returns an HTTP 409 error, so its own pages could not be reviewed, but the external evidence is consistent and severe.
Confirmed crypto drainer impersonating Stacks
Independent research identifies proposal-stacks.co as a cryptocurrency drainer designed to steal digital assets from visitors. The site impersonates the official Stacks ($STX) cryptocurrency project and uses a 'VOTE NOW' button to prompt users to connect their cryptocurrency wallets, which triggers a drainer script that can transfer tokens without authorization.
The domain is only 165 days old, which is consistent with a recently created malicious site rather than an established project.
Multiple security vendors flag the domain as malicious
Six independent antivirus families reported an adverse result for this domain, including BitDefender, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, and Fortinet. This saved antivirus observation confirms the detection is real, though the timing is stale.
Gridinsoft gives the site a 1/100 trust score and publicly displayed security sources report 5 warnings. An independent site-rating service also assigns a Trust Score of 0.
The browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection, but these clean technical checks do not offset the strong adverse reputation and drainer evidence.
Why the score is 12
6 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

What this means for you
Connecting a wallet to the fake voting page can drain funds
A visitor who clicks the 'VOTE NOW' button is prompted to connect their cryptocurrency wallet. This action triggers a drainer script that allows attackers to transfer tokens without authorization, resulting in total loss of the connected wallet's assets.
How the observed mechanism works
The evidence-backed path
Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.
The site currently returns an HTTP 409 error, so its own pages could not be reviewed, but the drainer mechanism is documented by independent research.
Do not visit proposal-stacks.co, and never connect a cryptocurrency wallet to it. If you have already connected a wallet, immediately revoke any token approvals and transfer remaining assets to a safe wallet using a trusted tool. Treat any 'voting rewards' or 'airdrop' offers from this domain as fraudulent.

- Oct 23, 2026Saved security review — Rated Dangerous
The completed checks from this saved scan are detailed above.
proposal-stacks.co was registered very recently when this review was saved and was already flagged. Freshly-registered domains are disproportionately used for scams, and a young domain with active threat signals warrants extra caution.
Domain & Encryption
Cloudflare DNS is used by legitimate and scam sites alike, so it does not identify who runs the site.
Certificate issued for proposal-stacks.co.
A shared Cloudflare address answers for many sites, so it is not the site's own server and says nothing about who runs it.
