How this service works
Check a URL for phishing/scam signals: MetaMask eth-phishing-detect + Phishing.Database blocklists, RDAP domain age, punycode and brand-lookalike detection, HTTPS reachability. Heuristic; not security advice.
Output
Returns a structured safety report including whether the URL matches MetaMask eth-phishing-detect or Phishing.Database blocklists, the domain's registration age via RDAP, whether punycode encoding is detected, whether the domain resembles a known brand, and whether the site is reachable over HTTPS. Results are heuristic and not professional security advice.
Example use cases
Wallet drainer link check
“Someone in a Telegram crypto group just sent me this link: https://metamask-wallet-verify.xyz — can you run a safety check on it and tell me if it's flagged as phishing or looks like a brand impersonation?”
DeFi airdrop URL vetting
“Before I connect my wallet, can you scan https://uniswap-airdrop2024.com for phishing signals, check how old the domain is, and see if it's on any blocklists?”
Suspicious email link scan
“I got an email with a link to https://xn--mtmsk-bua.com and I'm not sure if it's legit — can you check it for punycode tricks and see if it's flagged as a scam site?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://automaton-tx-explainer.vercel.app/v1/url-safety?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, multi-signal phishing heuristic for a single URL — especially for Web3 and crypto contexts where MetaMask blocklist coverage is critical. It combines blocklist lookups, domain age, punycode detection, and brand-lookalike analysis in one call, making it more comprehensive than a single-source check. Best suited for pre-click link vetting in DeFi, NFT, or wallet contexts. Not a replacement for enterprise security tooling.
Side effects
- URL too short (under 4 characters) — rejected by schema validation
- RDAP lookup failure for uncommon TLDs — domain age may be unavailable
- HTTPS reachability check timeout — reachability result may be inconclusive
- False negatives possible — new phishing domains not yet in blocklists
- Blocklist data may be slightly stale depending on update frequency
