#AirdropSafetyGuide Airdrop scams are common in the crypto space, but you can avoid them by following these clear steps:
1. Verify the Source
Only participate in airdrops from official project websites or social media.
Cross-check announcements on multiple official channels (Twitter, Discord, Telegram).
2. Never Share Private Keys or Seed Phrases
No legitimate airdrop will ever ask for your private keys or recovery phrase. If they do, it’s a scam.
3. Use a Separate Wallet
Create a new wallet just for receiving airdrops. This limits exposure if the airdrop turns out to be malicious.
4. Watch for Fake Tokens
Some scammers send valueless tokens that mimic real ones. Don't interact with unknown tokens in your wallet.
5. Beware of Connect Requests
Avoid connecting your wallet to unknown dApps or websites unless you're 100% sure they're legit.
Use tools like WalletGuard or Pocket Universe to preview what permissions a site is requesting.
6. Check for Impersonators
Scammers often impersonate well-known projects or influencers. Watch for small differences in usernames or URLs.
7. Don't Pay to Receive an Airdrop
Legitimate airdrops are free. If someone asks for ETH, BNB, or any other token to "unlock" your airdrop, it’s a scam.
