Is wabgyu.xyz legit or a scam?
176-day-old Monero bridge site with three user reports of rug-pulls and no verifiable business entity.
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.

Intelligence
The site presents itself as a private cross-chain bridge for Monero and Hyperliquid swaps. Four antivirus engines flagged it as phishing or malicious, including Kaspersky and Forcepoint. The domain was registered only 176 days ago through Spaceship, Inc. and carries no business registration in any jurisdiction. Three separate user complaints on Reddit describe lost funds and an unreachable operator. The page loads a functional-looking swap interface but provides no contact details or legal entity information.
