#AirdropSafetyGuide 🛡️ Avoid scams. Secure your wallet. Claim airdrops safely.
🧠 Why You Need to Be Careful While many airdrops are legit ways to earn free crypto, scammers often disguise traps as “free token” offers.
✅ 1. Never Share Your Private Key or Seed Phrase
🚫 This is the #1 rule. No airdrop will ever need this.
Your private key or seed phrase gives full access to your wallet.
Airdrops only need your public address (e.g., Ethereum or Solana address).
Example of a red flag:
"To claim your 500 XYZ tokens, enter your seed phrase here..."
🔥 Immediate exit — it’s a scam.
✅ 2. Use a Separate Wallet for Airdrops
Create a new wallet just for airdrop participation:
Keeps your main funds safe if a project turns out malicious.
✅ 3. Double-Check the Project Website & Token Info
Only join airdrops from projects with:
A working website
Active social media presence
Watch for fakes: Scammers sometimes clone real projects.
✅ 4. Avoid Connecting Wallets to Untrusted Sites
Some airdrop scams trick you into signing malicious transactions when you connect your wallet.
Signs of a risky site:
No HTTPS (🔒 icon in browser missing)
Grammar issues or poor UI
No team or whitepaper listed
Redirects to multiple URLs
✅ 5. Don't Pay to Claim Airdrops
Legit airdrops are always free (except gas fees).
🚫 If you're asked to send ETH, BNB, or USDT to get tokens, it's a scam.
⚠️ "Deposit 0.01 BNB to verify your wallet and unlock airdrop" = Fake
✅ 6. Be Cautious with Smart Contract Interactions
If an airdrop asks you to “Claim via Smart Contract,” be cautious.
Avoid transactions that seem overly complex or hidden.
🧠 Use DeFi Safety to check if a project is audited.
✅ 7. Use Browser Wallet Protection Tools
