Staying Safe While Hunting Airdrops – What I’ve Learned the Hard Way
Airdrops sound like free money, but there are many traps. I learned early on that security is everything. My rule: never connect my main wallet to any airdrop-related site. I created a separate burner wallet just for these campaigns, and I reset it every few months. I also never click on shortened URLs or random Telegram links. If an airdrop asks for my seed phrase, it’s an instant red flag. Even some legit-looking sites try sneaky wallet approvals, so I double-check permissions on revoke tools like Revoke.cash. Also, I avoid airdrops that ask for upfront gas fees unless it’s a verified testnet. The crypto space is full of opportunity, but protecting your assets is more important than chasing free tokens.
