#AirdropSafetyGuide Not all airdrops are worth the hype. Some are just traps.
Here’s how I stay SAFU in the world of airdrops:
Red Flags I Watch Out For:
Suspicious or unverified sites
No clear team or whitepaper
Smart contracts that require full token approvals
Urgent “claim now or lose” tactics — classic pressure scam
How I Verify Projects:
I check on-chain data via BSCScan or Etherscan
I look at community feedback on X (Twitter) and Telegram
I search for the project’s audit reports and the team’s credibility
Scam Tactics I’ve Encountered:
Fake MetaMask popups asking for seed phrases
“Airdrop claims” that drain wallets once approved
Tokens appearing unsolicited in my wallet — I never touch them
Airdrop I Avoided:
I skipped a fake “LayerZero” airdrop recently. The site looked real, but the contract had zero source code and strange approval functions. I dodged a bullet.
Stay alert — free tokens shouldn’t cost your entire wallet.
