How to spot fake MetaMask sites

MetaMask is a popular wallet, which makes it a frequent target for phishing. The only official domain is metamask.io. Everything else claiming to be MetaMask should be treated as suspicious.

Common fake MetaMask tricks

Look-alike letters

Domains that swap letters for similar characters, so metamask.io becomes something that looks identical at a glance.

Brand in a sub-part

Putting “metamask” in a subdomain or path of a domain the brand doesn't own, e.g. metamask.claim-xyz.top.

Bait pages

“Claim your MetaMask airdrop”, “restore MetaMask wallet”, “verify MetaMask account” — urgency to make you connect fast.

Checklist before you connect

  • Confirm the domain is exactly metamask.io — character by character.
  • Check for a padlock and no “xn--” prefix in the address bar.
  • Never sign a request you don't understand — especially unlimited approvals.
  • Use a security extension that flags fake MetaMask domains automatically.
