Protocol-impersonator domain registered (typosquat)
Axelar Network'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 #
Applicable with elevated risk: Axelar has multiple high-value brand surfaces — axelar.network, axelarscan.io, satellite.axelar.network (redirects to squidrouter.com), squidrouter.com. Typosquat candidates: axe1ar.network, axelar.io, axelarscan.com, squidrouter.io, satellite-axelar.network. No confirmed typosquat domain identified via public web search as of 2026-05-17. However, no dedicated WHOIS/domain-monitoring feed was run for this assessment (gap). Yellow assigned because: (1) high-value brand with $144M TVS creates persistent typosquat incentive; (2) satellite.axelar.network brand migration to squidrouter.com creates ambiguity that opportunistic squatters exploit; (3) no active monitoring confirmed; (4) no confirmed typosquat found but monitoring gap exists.
