#AirdropSafetyGuide

Participating in cryptocurrency airdrops in 2025 offers opportunities to earn free tokens but comes with significant risks.

Legitimate airdrops do not require your private keys or extensive personal data like passport photos or banking details.

Employ burner wallets or dedicated wallets for airdrops to minimize exposure if a scam occurs.

Cross-check official project announcements and avoid airdrops that seem too good to be true or ask for suspicious permissions.

Avoid clicking unknown links or downloading unverified software. Use trusted platforms and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on accounts.

Keep large amounts offline to protect against hacks or smart contract exploits.

Poorly written or malicious contracts can drain wallets, so only interact with verified projects and consider scanning contracts for vulnerabilities.

Many airdropped tokens may be illiquid or lose value quickly due to market dumping, so evaluate the project's long-term potential before holding tokens.

Airdropped tokens may be taxable income depending on your jurisdiction, so keep records and consult tax regulations.
