Stay Safe While Chasing Crypto Airdrops
1. DYOR (Do Your Own Research):
Only join airdrops from reputable projects. Verify official channels (e.g., website, X, Discord, Telegram).
2. Never Share Private Keys or Seed Phrases:
Legit airdrops NEVER ask for this info. If they do, it’s a scam.
3. Use a Separate Wallet:
Create a dedicated wallet just for airdrops to isolate risk.
4. Avoid Connecting Wallets to Unknown DApps:
Only connect your wallet to trusted platforms. Fake airdrop pages often try to drain your assets.
5. Be Wary of Gas Fees:
If airdrops ask for gas fees upfront or “activation fees,” it’s likely a scam.
6. Don't Download Unknown Files or Apps:
Malware and phishing kits often masquerade as "claim tools."
7. Watch Out for Impersonators:
Scammers copy official accounts. Look for verification and check follower count and engagement.
8. Stay Updated:
Follow known security channels or communities that report scams and phishing sites.
9. Use a Reputable Portfolio Tracker:
Helps you spot suspicious tokens dropped into your wallet (e.g., honeypots or dusting attacks).
10. Trust Your Instincts:
If it feels off, it probably is. Don’t let greed override caution.
