1. Understand What Airdrops Are

Airdrops are free token distributions often used by new crypto projects to promote awareness. They may require simple tasks like joining a Telegram group or following a project on Twitter.

---

2. Use a Separate Wallet

Never use your main wallet for airdrops.

Create a new wallet exclusively for airdrops (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, etc.).

This minimizes risk in case the airdrop is linked to scams or malicious tokens.

---

3. Avoid Private Key & Seed Phrase Requests

Legit airdrops will never ask for your private key or seed phrase.

If a site or form requests this information, it’s a scam.

---

4. Watch for Fake Websites

Always verify the official website and social media accounts of the project.

Use trusted crypto news sources like CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, or official project pages.

---

5. Beware of Fake Tokens

Scammers might airdrop tokens that look real but are traps.

Don’t interact with unfamiliar tokens (e.g., swapping, sending)—some can drain your wallet upon interaction.

---

6. Use a Reputable Airdrop Aggregator

Stick to reputable platforms that list verified airdrops:
