Confidence
The domain wavedash.com was registered in 2012 and shows no signs of recent hijacking or abuse. Zero engines in our antivirus network flagged the page, and the hosting IP carries a clean abuse score. The site presents itself as a web-native game platform using WebAssembly, with clear navigation and real game titles displayed. Evidence shows it is a Y Combinator-backed startup founded in 2024 with named founders and public GitHub and social accounts. No scam reports, complaints, or clone indicators appear in our research. The combination of long domain history, clean technical signals, and verifiable startup background supports a safe classification.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page promotes instant browser gaming with no downloads, highlighting titles such as Parking Garage Rally Circuit, Calico, and Evan's Remains. Navigation includes search, browse, upload, and account buttons. Social links point to Mastodon, X, GitHub, and Discord. No contact email, phone, or address is listed, which is common for early-stage startups focused on product rather than support channels.

Infrastructure

The site loads from IP 104.26.7.164 with a clean abuse score and zero reports. SSL certificate is valid from Google Trust Services and expires in 81 days. One redirect hop occurs within the same domain. External resources load from mastodon.social, x.com, github.com, and discord.gg, consistent with a legitimate development presence.

Domain History

Domain age is listed as 14.2 years with registration on 2012-04-10 through Porkbun LLC. Privacy protection is disabled. The long registration period and stable registrar history reduce the likelihood of a throwaway domain used for fraud.

Web Reputation

No scam reports or consumer complaints were located across web searches. The project is described as a YC X25 startup with founders Kyler Blue and Raymond Kennedy, a three-person team, and offices in the Santa Monica/San Francisco area. Mentions appear on Product Hunt, LinkedIn, and GitHub with no negative coverage. Independent review aggregators show no entries, which is expected for a low-traffic early-stage platform.

What this means for you

The site shows consistent signals of a real gaming startup rather than a fraudulent operation. Users can browse and play games without entering payment details on the landing page. Standard caution with any new account creation still applies.

What to do

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on wavedash.com and not a lookalike like w-avedash.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

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 found no threat indicators on wavedash.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • wavedash.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 81/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. wavedash.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 81 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • wavedash.com is 14.2 years old, registered on 4/10/2012 through Porkbun LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report wavedash.com as clean.
  • No. wavedash.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • wavedash.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 July 7, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around wavedash.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
