What the Phantom "this domain is new" warning means

What Phantom says

• The warning appears for a newly launched app or site that Phantom has not reviewed (CONFIRMED, Phantom developer docs and support article).
• It "typically disappears after a few days once the domain has been reviewed" and usually needs no action from the app's team (CONFIRMED, same docs).

What it means for you

• New and honest and new and malicious look the same to this warning. Scam sites are almost always new, so treat it as a reason to slow down.
• A "claim", "airdrop" or "verify wallet" site that triggers it is a stop sign. Do not connect a wallet to see what happens.
• Old does not mean safe either. A trusted site can be hijacked, so still read every prompt.

Before you continue

1. Did you get the link from the project's verified account, not a DM, comment or ad?
2. Does the site ask for a seed phrase, a fee to claim, or an unlimited approval? Any one of these means stop.
3. Can you reach the same page by typing the address you already know?
