Yeah its real project, there some developer want to fork ethereum check here https://etherzero.org/ but i cant visit that site either cause look like my metamask wallet block it and tell me that was a phising link. So ill just leave my ethereum at exchanger and wait if they gonna support it or not, cause i dont want to take a risk by putting my privatekey to strange website. do you remember bitcoingold fork ? there lot of report about mising bitcoin, so stay safe mate
