Is suncurve-dex.com legit or a scam?
A malicious clone of the SUN.io exchange that uses fake statistics and high-yield promises to lure users into connecting and draining their crypto wallets.
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.
Analysis Summary
Brand impersonation — not the real site
Domain is only 42 days old. This page is styled as a brand but is not the brand's real site. Go to the official site directly, and treat any download, login, or payment request here as unsafe.

Visual Screenshot Analysis
We capture a fresh screenshot of the live page and ask a vision model to look for scam visual patterns — fake trust badges, countdown timers, overlay pop-ups, and visual clones of legitimate brands.
Visual red flags detected in the screenshot
The site exhibits several high-risk patterns common in crypto scams, including broken data fields ($NaN), unrealistic yield promises, and unverified high-value statistics designed to create a false sense of legitimacy.
What our vision model saw
6 signalsBroken data indicator showing 'TRX $NaN' in the top navigation bar
High APY promises of up to 15% on stablecoins to attract investment
Claims of $2.8B Total Value Locked (TVL) which is often used as a fake trust indicator
Generic 'ZK Secured' and 'Curve Algorithm' text used as unverified security seals
Layout mimics popular decentralized exchanges like Sun.io or Curve.fi but uses the name SunCurveDEX
The 'Connect to Swap' button is the primary call to action, potentially leading to wallet drainers
Brand Impersonation
medium confidenceThe page mentions or styles itself as MetaMask, but is hosted on a domain that is not an official MetaMask property.
MT Intelligence
The site is a direct imitation of the SunCurve feature found on the legitimate SUN.io platform. While the official service operates under the sun.io domain, this site uses a recently registered domain that is only 42 days old. Our analysis detected broken data fields, such as 'TRX $NaN', which indicate a poorly constructed front-end typical of scam kits. Furthermore, one of our antivirus partners, Bfore.Ai PreCrime, has already flagged the domain as malicious. The site claims a massive $2.8 billion in total value locked, yet it has no global traffic ranking and no verifiable business registration.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for suncurve-dex.com, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- Domain is only 42 days old (registered approximately early May 2026).
- Site presents as "SunCurve DEX" — a stable swap and cross-chain bridge on TRON with 0.04% fees, up to 15% APY pools (USDT/USDC, 3Pool, etc.), and bridge to 14+ chains; claims $2.8B TVL, audits by CertiK/PeckShield/Hacken (Mar/Jul 2024).
- Page offers wallet connection (references MetaMask impersonation/clone attempt in scan data); uses Curve-like design and terminology.
- SUN.io (official TRON DEX at sun.io) has an integrated SunCurve feature for stablecoin swaps (low 0.04% fees, modeled after Curve); all official documentation and articles direct to sun.io or its subpaths, with no mention of suncurve-dex.co
- No scam reports, user complaints, or reviews found on Reddit, Trustpilot, ScamAdviser, or elsewhere; no positive independent coverage either.
- Promoted via X hashtag #SunCurve and self-published Medium-style articles that direct users specifically to https://suncurve-dex.com for connecting TronLink wallets.
- No business registration, team info, or verifiable legal entity located.
The site heavily mimics SUN.io's SunCurve stablecoin swap feature (Curve-based low-slippage stable swaps on TRON, 0.04% fee, liquidity pools). It claims similar stats, audits (CertiK etc. from 2024), and high TVL/APY but uses a separate domain registered only 42 days ago. Official SUN.io integrates SunCurve directly at sun.io without redirecting to suncurve-dex.com.

Brand impersonation detected
This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.
- Do not interact with suncurve-dex.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.
- OpenReport 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.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- Our automated security review flags suncurve-dex.com as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
- No — suncurve-dex.com scored 8/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
- Yes. suncurve-dex.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · E8, expiring in 47 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
- suncurve-dex.com is 1 month old, registered on 5/17/2026 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

- No. suncurve-dex.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
- suncurve-dex.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
- This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 29, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own.
