**🚨 Airdrop Safety Guide: Protect Yourself from Scams! 🚨**
*(With Visual Tips + Binance Insights)*
---
### **📌 What Are Airdrops?**
Airdrops are **FREE crypto tokens** distributed by projects to boost awareness or reward users. But scammers use fake airdrops to steal your funds. Stay vigilant!
---
### **🔒 5 Must-Follow Safety Rules**
*(Visual examples below ⬇️)*
1. **✅ Verify Official Channels**
- Only trust announcements from the project’s **website**, **verified social media**, or partners like **Binance**.
- *Image idea: Side-by-side comparison of a scam Twitter account (typos, unverified checkmark) vs. a legitimate project page.*
- *Binance Tip:* Use the [Binance Airdrop Portal](https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/crypto-airdrop) for vetted opportunities.
2. **🚫 Never Share Private Keys or Seed Phrases**
- Legitimate airdrops **DO NOT** require sensitive info.
- *Image idea: A wallet with a giant red "X" over the seed phrase section.*
3. **⚠️ Avoid Phishing Traps**
- Double-check URLs before clicking. Scammers mimic real sites (e.g., "Binnance.com" vs. "Binance.com").
- *Image idea: Fake "Claim Now" button hovering over a malicious link.*
4. **💡 Use a Burner Wallet**
- Keep your main assets safe by using a separate wallet for airdrop claims.
- *Image idea: Two wallets – one labeled "Main Savings," the other "Airdrop Experiments."*
5. **🔍 DYOR (Do Your Own Research)**
- Check audits (e.g., CertiK), team credibility, and community sentiment.
- *Image idea: A checklist with "Audited," "Doxxed Team," and "Active Community" items.*
