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:
