#AirdropSafetyGuide #AirdropSafetyGuide: Stay Secure While Receiving Airdrops
Here’s a quick safety guide to protect yourself when participating in crypto or NFT airdrops:
1. Verify the Source
Only trust airdrops from official project channels (e.g., website, verified social media).
Avoid links sent via unsolicited DMs.
2. Use a Separate Wallet
Create a fresh wallet exclusively for airdrops.
Avoid using your main wallet to minimize risk.
3. Don’t Connect to Suspicious DApps
Never connect your wallet to unknown or shady platforms.
Always check for HTTPS and validate the site URL.
4. Beware of Signature Requests
Don’t sign random messages or transactions — they could grant access to your funds.
Read every prompt carefully before confirming.
5. Watch for Fake Tokens
Scammers send fake tokens to bait you into interacting.
Never interact with or try to trade unknown assets without research.
6. Revoke Unused Permissions
Use tools like Revoke.cash to remove token approvals you no longer need.
7. Keep Software Updated
Ensure your wallet, browser, and antivirus software are current.
8. Avoid Paying for Airdrops
Legit airdrops never ask for money upfront — if they do, it’s likely a scam.
