#空投防骗手册 Airdrop Scam Prevention Manual: A Must-Have Guide to Protect Your Digital Assets

In the world of cryptocurrency, airdrops are like "digital pies" falling from the sky, full of temptation but also fraught with traps. Below, we will detail the warning signs of airdrop scams and prevention strategies to help you participate in airdrops safely!

1. Identify Warning Signs, Beware of Airdrop Traps

1. Fake Websites and Phishing Links: Scammers often clone the official websites of well-known projects, changing just one or two letters in the URL, such as changing "coinbase.com" to "coinbasee.com". When receiving airdrop invitation emails or messages, if the URL spelling is incorrect, the interface is rough, or there is no official certification mark (such as the absence of an SSL certificate lock icon), it is likely a phishing site. Once you enter your wallet's private key or mnemonic phrase, your assets will be stolen in an instant.

2. Unclear Teams and Anonymous Developers: Legitimate projects usually publicly disclose information about their core team members, resumes, and contact information, which can be found on the "About Us" page of the official website or on social media platforms. If the project’s white paper or official website does not provide team introductions, or if the team member information is vague, with no relevant data on platforms like LinkedIn, or if they use false identities, you need to be highly vigilant.

3. Suspicious Contracts and Permission Requests: When participating in an airdrop, if the smart contract requires excessively high permissions (such as unrestricted transfer of tokens, modification of wallet assets), or if the contract code is not open-source audited on platforms like etherscan, it is very likely to be a malicious contract. Such contracts may quietly transfer all assets from your wallet after you approve the authorization.
