Description
### Legitimate domains, IPs, IPFS hashes, or IPNS names
https://playnixies.com
https://www.playnixies.com
https://api.playnixies.com
### Please explain why this content is legitimate
PlayNixies is a legitimate browser game at https://playnixies.com (developer: Rodolfo Groero / groerosoftware.com). Users create game accounts, collect creatures, and optionally link MetaMask on Base to deposit/withdraw the in-game NIX token. We never ask for a Secret Recovery Phrase.
The domain is not in eth-phishing-detect src/config.json blocklist/fuzzylist. MetaMask Mobile in-app browser still shows “This website might be harmful” because the live dapp scanner returns BLOCK:
https://dapp-scanning.api.cx.metamask.io/v2/scan?url=playnixies.com
→ {"hostname":"playnixies.com","recommendedAction":"BLOCK"}
This matches other false positives (scanner BLOCK without a config.json entry).

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with src/config.json and compare its blocklist and fuzzylist entries against playnixies.com, www.playnixies.com, and api.playnixies.com. Run the reported dapp-scanning API check to confirm the BLOCK result, then verify that the requested domains are allowlisted and no longer reported as harmful.
