If you’ve stumbled across ARBVAULT and are thinking of investing, this is your wake-up call. I’m Danny de Hek, aka The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger, and I’ve been tracking scams like this for years.
ARBVAULT is not a revolutionary DeFi opportunity—it’s just another high-risk, recruitment-driven Ponzi scheme wrapped in crypto buzzwords and a glossy website.
Let’s start with the obvious: they claim to offer 1% to 1.5% daily returns for 100 days, with your capital returned at the end. That alone should raise every red flag in your brain. No legitimate investment provides daily interest of that size without risk. Compound that over time, and it becomes mathematically impossible to sustain unless new money is constantly pumped in. That’s the textbook definition of a Ponzi scheme.
They pitch two plans—Sentinel and Titan—with staking amounts ranging from 10 ARB to 500,000 ARB. Both promise guaranteed daily income, and both are backed by absolutely no visible business model. Where is this money coming from? That’s right—new investors. They even include a “capital back guarantee,” which is code for “as long as we’re not collapsing, we’ll pretend your funds are safe.”
The website itself looks polished at first glance, but it’s literally just a one-page scroll. Despite having links to sections like “About,” “Plans,” and “Roadmap,” every click just bounces you up or down the same static page. There’s no external verification of anything. No smart contract address. No whitepaper. No founder bios. Not even a contact page.
And speaking of amateur mistakes, let’s talk about the domain. Their official website is arbvault.com—but throughout their own PDF pitch deck and one of their YouTube videos, they list the domain arbvaultvault.com, which they haven’t even registered. That domain is still available as of today. You want to trust your money with a company that can’t get their own website right?
Their back-end dashboard, which I accessed via MetaMask, requires you to enter a referral code just to sign up. You literally can’t join unless someone recruits you. That’s not DeFi—that’s a closed-loop MLM system. The dashboard itself is a hollow shell. No data. No activity. Just placeholders and vague metrics like “Your Stake” or “AVT Balance.” There’s no actual blockchain interaction happening.
Which brings us to their compensation structure. It’s multi-level marketing at its core:
- 10% commission on direct referrals
- Unilevel rebates up to 10 generations deep
- Rank-based “wages” every 10 days based on team volume
- Leadership pools and Veterans Club bonuses for top recruiters
If you’ve ever seen a pyramid scheme before, this is a carbon copy with a crypto veneer.
They’re also trying to hype up a token called AVT. It hasn’t launched yet, but they’re already promising it will provide “greater opportunities to grow your wealth.” No tokenomics are verifiable. No exchanges are named. And based on past scam patterns, this token is either a useless internal reward system or a future rug pull.
Their YouTube Channel, created in January 2025, has only four videos. One is a silent slideshow that reuses their PDF pitch deck—and here’s where it gets ridiculous: in that very video, they display the domain arbvaultvault.com, which as of this writing is still unregistered and available for anyone to buy. Another is a 49-second fake tutorial, a third is a site flyover with background music, and the last one is a 90-second voiceover pitch that recycles the same recruitment language used across all their channels. They can’t even keep their own branding straight, which tells you everything about the level of professionalism (or lack thereof) behind this so-called platform.
What about transparency? There’s none. No identifiable owners. No physical location. Just two Telegram groups, each claiming to be the “official” community. That’s 101-level misdirection.
The domain arbvault.com was only registered on February 12, 2025. The first Wayback Machine snapshot was March 3, 2025. There are currently no Trustpilot Reviews—good or bad. And let me tell you, scam companies usually flood Trustpilot with fake 5-star reviews to appear legit. The fact that ARBVAULT hasn’t done even that tells you how new—and how vulnerable—they are.
This platform is a recruitment engine, not a staking platform. It generates the illusion of profit, built entirely on bringing in new victims. It’s dressed in crypto terminology, but the engine underneath is just another MLM with unsustainable payouts and hollow tech.
So if you’re thinking about staking your ARB or joining ARBVAULT, ask yourself: are you ready to be exit liquidity?
I’ll be keeping a close eye on this one—and once this blog goes live, I’ll be leaving the first one-star review on Trustpilot to warn others before it’s too late.
