#AirdropSafetyGuide **🚀 Airdrop Safety Guide: How to Avoid Scams & Stay Secure 🛡️**

Airdrops can be a great way to earn free crypto, but they also attract scammers. Follow these tips to stay safe:

### **1. Verify Official Sources**

✅ Only trust airdrops announced on **official** project websites, Twitter, or Telegram.

❌ Avoid links from random DMs or shady websites.

### **2. Never Share Private Keys**

🔐 **Legit airdrops will NEVER ask for your seed phrase or private key.** If they do, it’s a scam!

### **3. Use a Separate Wallet**

🛡️ Create a **new wallet** for airdrops to avoid exposing your main funds.

### **4. Check Smart Contracts**

📜 Before interacting, verify contracts on **Etherscan** or similar explorers. Avoid approvals to malicious contracts.

### **5. Beware of Fake Airdrops**

⚠️ If an airdrop seems too good to be true, it probably is. Research before claiming!

### **6. Avoid Paying "Gas Fees" Upfront**

💸 Most real airdrops don’t require payment. If they ask for crypto first, it’s likely a scam.

Stay vigilant and protect your assets! Always **DYOR (Do Your Own Research)** before participating.
