Is vote-ethfi.app a scam?

Our automated security review flags vote-ethfi.app as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.

Is vote-ethfi.app safe to use?

No — vote-ethfi.app scored 18/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.

Does vote-ethfi.app have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. vote-ethfi.app presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 89 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

Has vote-ethfi.app been flagged by antivirus engines?

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report vote-ethfi.app as clean.

Is vote-ethfi.app on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. vote-ethfi.app is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is vote-ethfi.app hosted?

vote-ethfi.app 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.

How often is the vote-ethfi.app report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 11, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around vote-ethfi.app have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

High visual risk

Visual red flags detected in the screenshot

The page promotes $ETHFI reward distribution and governance voting while displaying a logo/brand name inconsistent with ether.fi, a pattern commonly seen in crypto phishing sites that impersonate DeFi protocols to harvest wallet connections. The urgency framing around a live rewards event and a prominent voting CTA are high-risk visual signals associated with wallet drainer campaigns.

Confidence

The site is a textbook crypto-drainer impersonation. It clones vote.ether.fi's governance interface and uses the exact same reward-distribution voting language to lure users into connecting their wallets. The domain vote-ethfi.app is a typosquat of ether.fi, and our scam-network fingerprint confirms it matches the clone-of:vote.ether.fi pattern. The visual analysis caught a critical brand mismatch: the header displays 'ILIAIT' instead of the ether.fi branding referenced throughout the page content — a hallmark of hastily-copied phishing sites. The evidence package shows vote-ethfi.app listed in PhishDestroy.io phishing intelligence reports and grouped with confirmed phishing domains in urlquery.net threat scans. Official ether.fi governance happens only at vote.ether.fi (Agora) and snapshot.org; this domain does not appear on any official ether.fi resource. The urgency framing ('Rewards Event Live', 'Community governance is live') combined with a prominent wallet-connection CTA is a standard crypto-drainer tactic. No business registration, no contact details, and zero positive mentions anywhere on the web.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page mimics ether.fi's official governance portal, using identical language about $ETHFI rewards distribution and voting. It includes a prominent 'Go to Voting Page' call-to-action that leads to a wallet-connection flow — the core mechanism of crypto-drainer attacks. The page body references 'Community governance', 'Snapshot voting', and 'On-chain governance', all copied from legitimate ether.fi materials. However, the header logo displays 'ILIAIT' instead of ether.fi branding, a critical inconsistency that reveals the impersonation.

Infrastructure

The domain uses valid SSL (Google Trust Services issuer, 89 days to expiry) and clean hosting IP reputation (172.67.134.56, abuse score 0/100). These legitimate-looking infrastructure signals are common in phishing sites that use reputable CDN providers. The page loads external resources from ether.fi and docs.ether.fi, likely to steal legitimacy through association. No contact email, phone, or postal address appears anywhere — a red flag for a fake governance portal.

Domain History

vote-ethfi.app is a typosquat of ether.fi and a direct clone of vote.ether.fi. WHOIS data is unavailable, and the domain is not indexed in global traffic rankings. No business registration was found in any jurisdiction. The domain age is unknown but the combination of zero traffic ranking, no WHOIS transparency, and immediate phishing-report listings suggests very recent registration.

Web Reputation

The domain appears in PhishDestroy.io phishing intelligence reports as an Ethereum impersonation domain. It is grouped with confirmed phishing sites (e.g., votes-saharaai.xyz) in urlquery.net automated threat scans. Official ether.fi governance pages explicitly warn users to trust only vote.ether.fi and snapshot.org; vote-ethfi.app is not mentioned as legitimate anywhere. Zero positive reviews or mentions exist on the web.

Risk Factors

Confirmed clone of vote.ether.fi — phishing intelligence reports list this domain as an ether.fi impersonation site.
Typosquat domain (vote-ethfi.app vs. vote.ether.fi) designed to deceive users searching for official governance.
Brand mismatch in header logo (ILIAIT vs. ether.fi) — hallmark of hastily-copied phishing templates.
Wallet-connection CTA ('Go to Voting Page') combined with urgency framing ('Rewards Event Live') — standard crypto-drainer tactic.
Listed in PhishDestroy.io and urlquery.net phishing threat reports alongside confirmed wallet-drainer domains.
No business registration, WHOIS transparency, or contact details — consistent with disposable phishing infrastructure.
Official ether.fi governance explicitly directs users to vote.ether.fi and snapshot.org only; this domain is not mentioned on any official resource.

Positive Signals

Valid SSL certificate from Google Trust Services.
Clean antivirus scan (0/92 engines flagged).
Hosting IP has zero abuse reports and clean reputation score.

AI Recommendation

Do not visit this site or connect your wallet. If you received a link to vote-ethfi.app, report it to ether.fi's security team immediately. For legitimate $ETHFI governance voting, use only vote.ether.fi or snapshot.org/#/etherfi-dao.eth.
