We check WHOIS/RDAP, SSL chains, and Wayback snapshots to catch red flags early.</p><h2>1) WHOIS/RDAP: age and stewardship</h2><p>Young domains aren’t a crime — but they correlate with higher risk when paired with other signals. We read registrar, creation date, and changes. Sudden registrar hops are a smell.</p><h2>2) SSL: minimal hygiene baseline</h2><p>A valid TLS chain with sane expiry doesn’t mean “safe” — but broken or self-signed certs are a clear baseline fail. We surface issuer and expiry to spot neglect.</p><h2>3) Wayback: time is a moat</h2><p>Snapshots indicate persistence. No snapshots on an “established” brand? Suspicious. A handful of recent snapshots for a new token site? Acceptable, but note it.</p><div class="tip"><strong>Tip:</strong> combine website hygiene with on-chain context: if LP is thin and domain is brand new with no snapshots, slow down.</div><h2>4) Common red flags</h2><ul><li>Brand-new domain + aggressive marketing + thin LP.</li><li>Registrar changes clustered around token launch.</li><li>Mismatch between site domain and links embedded in social posts.</li><li>SSL expiring in days or issued by dubious CAs.</li></ul><h2>5) In QuickScan</h2><p>We fetch WHOIS/RDAP, SSL issuer/expiry, and Wayback presence for the provided site.
