Crypto Airdrop Safety Guide
1. Use a Separate Wallet
Create a new wallet specifically for airdrops. Do not use your main wallet that holds large funds.
Use wallets that support custom tokens (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet).
2. Never Share Private Keys or Seed Phrases
Legitimate airdrops will never ask for your private key or recovery phrase.
If a site or form requests it, it’s a scam.
3. Be Cautious with DApp Permissions
Always review permissions before connecting your wallet to a website.
Revoke unnecessary permissions using tools like:
Revoke.cash
Etherscan Token Approvals
4. Avoid Upfront Payments
Legit airdrops are free. Never pay for “unlocking” tokens or covering fake “gas fees.”
5. Watch Out for Phishing
Double-check URLs.
Avoid clicking links from unknown sources or unofficial channels.
Use official project websites and social media.
6. Research the Project
Check for a real website, team, social media presence, and community.
Be wary of copycat projects or newly created accounts.
7. Use Disposable Email Addresses
Some airdrops require email signup. Use a temporary or alternate email to avoid spam.
8. Stay Up-to-Date on Scams
Follow trusted crypto influencers or security-focused Twitter/X accounts.
Join communities like Reddit’s r/CryptoCurrency or Telegram scam-report channels.
