Brand impersonation — not the real site
Domain was registered only 4 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.
Is votes-degen.space legit or a scam?
New 4-day-old clone of the Degen crypto project flagged as phishing by ChainPatrol and multiple reports.
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
MT Intelligence
The site presents itself as a DegenCoin voting platform tied to the known $DEGEN crypto project on Base and Farcaster. The domain was registered only 4 days ago through a privacy-protected registrar, which is a strong red flag for scam sites. ChainPatrol flagged the page as malicious while our other engines stayed clean. Two separate reports from phishdestroy.io explicitly describe it as an active phishing domain targeting crypto users for wallet credentials. The screenshot shows only a DNS error, meaning the site is not properly resolving, yet the clone fingerprint and external reports still mark it as dangerous.

- Do not interact with votes-degen.space
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
