Is transientae.com legit or a scam?
A malicious clone of Transient Labs created 16 days ago to steal deposits through impersonation and fake investment promises.
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

Domain was registered only 16 days ago — brand-new sites are higher-risk by default. 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.

MT Intelligence
Our analysis confirms this domain is a malicious impersonation of the legitimate transient.xyz platform. The site was registered only 16 days ago and uses a nearly identical visual layout to deceive visitors. The official CEO of the real Transient Labs has publicly identified this specific URL as a scam used to solicit fraudulent deposits. Furthermore, our security network detected that ESET has already flagged the site as suspicious. The combination of brand impersonation, recent registration, and direct warnings from the impersonated company indicates a high risk of financial loss.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for transientae.com, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- Domain created on 2026-06-08 (approximately 17 days old as of June 25, 2026), registered via Dynadot Inc with Cloudflare nameservers (ART.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM, HARLEE.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM).
- Transient Labs (official site transient.xyz) publicly warned on X that transientae.com is a phishing/impersonation scam site used to solicit deposits under false promises of NFT/art sales.
- Scammers impersonate Transient employees, contacting artists via email to lure them to the fake site; Transient emphasizes it is fully self-custodial and never asks for deposits.
- The official Transient account and its CEO reported the domain to the registrar (Dynadot) and Blockaid; they list only transient.xyz and transientlabs.xyz as official domains.
- No reviews, business listings, or legitimate web presence found for transientae.com outside of the scam warning; page title is simply "Transient" with empty description.
- Low trust score on ScamAdviser (40/100) aligns with the very recent registration and impersonation of a known web3 brand.
- X (Twitter) - @mpeyfuss (Co-founder & CEO @transientlabs)open
"These scammers are trying to get people to go to transientae[.]com and deposit money into their account by guaranteeing sales. This is NOT an official Transient website and is NOT affiliated with Transient in any way."
- X (Twitter) - @TransientLabsopen
"We've reported the site to Dynadot (the registrar) and Blockaid."
Domain name closely mimics Transient Labs (transient.xyz / transientlabs.xyz), a legitimate web3/NFT platform. Scammers impersonate Transient employees via email, directing victims to deposit funds at transientae.com with promises of guaranteed sales.
