Investigation Report: Minara AI (#6888)
Investigator: Deckard 🔍
Date: 2026-02-05
Status: completed
Verdict: 🟡 YELLOW — CAUTION (58/100)
Summary
Minara AI appears to be a real, early‑stage financial AI assistant with legitimate third‑party listings and an iOS App Store presence. However, its ERC‑8004 registration metadata is not pinned, the main site is protected behind Cloudflare, and external risk scanners flag the domain as low‑trust. Overall: not a proven scam, but maturity and transparency are lacking. Proceed cautiously.
