Security tool
Crypto Trust Checker
Review crypto domains, exchange names and platform URLs for trust indicators, transparency signals and risk patterns. The checker is educational and does not make definitive scam claims.
The Crypto Trust Checker helps users evaluate domains, URLs and exchange names by reviewing technical availability, HTTPS/TLS, known exchange profiles, transparency signals and risk patterns. It does not prove that a platform is safe and does not label projects as scams.
Methodology
How the Trust Checker works
The checker combines curated exchange research with local pattern checks and technical provider data when available. It highlights signals that deserve attention and avoids definitive scam claims.

What the score means and what it does not mean
The Trust Checker is designed for due diligence workflows. It can help identify weak or positive signals, but users should still verify official domains, policies, withdrawal rules and account security directly.
| Factor | Positive signal | Risk signal | User action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domain | Official, consistent, long-running domain. | New, misspelled or brand-plus-extra-word domain. | Compare with official profiles and bookmarks. |
| HTTPS/TLS | Valid certificate and normal browser security state. | Broken certificate, redirects or unreachable site. | Pause before login, signup or wallet connection. |
| Transparency | Terms, privacy, fees, KYC and support are visible. | Missing policies or unclear withdrawal rules. | Read account terms before depositing. |
| Reputation | Consistent public footprint and low abuse signals. | Repeated phishing, withdrawal or impersonation reports. | Look for independent confirmation before proceeding. |
