Is the $CHIMP airdrop checker you were sent real? The one ChimpX posted is token.chimpx.ai; two other "checker" sites were registered this morning
ChimpX's account posted its $CHIMP airdrop checker at 4:55 AM ET on 28 October, and the link goes to token.chimpx.ai. Two other "checker" sites being pushed on X today were registered hours earlier the same day. We haven't seen what they do after you connect, so don't connect.

Is the $CHIMP airdrop checker real? The one ChimpX posted is. At 4:55 AM ET on 28 October, the day of the $CHIMP launch, ChimpX's account, @ChimpxAI (about 41,200 followers), posted "The $CHIMP airdrop checker is LIVE. Check your allocation now: https://token.chimpx.ai". The chimpx.ai domain was registered in January 2025. Any other "checker" address is not the one ChimpX posted. Check your allocation only on token.chimpx.ai, typed in yourself, and don't connect a wallet to any other checker.
Two other checker sites are being pushed on X today. The first, runners.mainpage[.]finance, was registered at 8:44 AM ET on 28 October. An account with a large following posted it at 9:40 AM ET as "the allocation checker now live" (about 111,300 views by 10:55 AM ET). Between 9:46:48 and 9:47:07 AM ET, eight more accounts posted the same address, 19 seconds from first to last. The second, chimp.gemtoken[.]store, was registered at 4:38 AM ET and posted by two accounts at 10:05 AM ET ("Here's the checker"). Both domains were registered through the same registrar, NICENIC, according to their registry records. We don't link these posts or sites.
What the sites do, as far as we could see. We loaded both at 10:53 AM ET as text, without a browser or a wallet. chimp.gemtoken[.]store is a page titled "Introducing $CHIMP" that copies the look of ChimpX's site and even links to the real token.chimpx.ai. It says the checker "connects your Solana wallet, then verifies on-chain". It loads its wallet code from a third domain, data-repo[.]cc, which uses the same registrar and whose record was last changed at 5:39 AM ET on 28 October. That code didn't load for us. runners.mainpage[.]finance only redirected to itself. So we don't say what either site asks for once a wallet connects, and we haven't seen anyone report a loss to them yet.
If you connected a wallet or signed anything on one of these sites, treat that wallet as exposed: move what's left to a fresh wallet and revoke any approvals you gave. For your allocation, use token.chimpx.ai, typed in yourself. We'll add any new checker address in this push as a dated line.
- What either site asks for once a wallet connects, and where any funds would go: we didn't connect a wallet, and the wallet code didn't load for us.
- Who runs the two sites and the accounts posting them.
- Whether anyone has lost funds to them so far.
The checker addresses, as of 10:53 AM ET, 28 Oct (only the first is linked)

The claims, checked
who said it, and what the evidence shows“the allocation checker now live" (runners.mainpage[.]finance) and "Here's the checker" (chimp.gemtoken[.]store)”
ChimpX's own post links its checker at token.chimpx.ai. Both other domains were registered on 28 October, at 4:38 AM and 8:44 AM ET.
