Protocol-impersonator domain registered (typosquat)
Fluid's assessment for RD-F-161 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
No confirmed typosquat domains specifically targeting fluid.io identified in public searches as of 2026-04-29. However: (1) static assessment cannot replicate a live domain-monitoring feed result; (2) Fluid's December 2024 rebrand (Instadapp -> Fluid) creates elevated impersonation risk as user muscle memory shifts from instadapp.io to fluid.io — a period where typosquat campaigns are historically most effective; (3) ~$942M TVL (DefiLlama, 2026-05-07; previously $1.81B at 2026-04-29) keeps Fluid a high-value impersonation target. Yellow: cannot confirm clean without live domain-monitoring feed; conservative posture warranted during post-rebrand window.
