To prevent falling victim to scams when participating in airdrops, you can follow these key principles:

1. Never provide your private key

Real airdrops will never ask you to provide your private key or seed phrase. With this information, scammers can steal all your assets.

2. Be cautious of phishing websites

• Use official websites or verified links to participate in airdrops.

• Watch out for misspellings in the URL or differences from the official one, such as meta-mask.io (fake) vs metamask.io (real).

3. Do not transfer any funds

Legitimate airdrop activities will not ask you to pay transaction fees, Gas fees, or "unlock fees" in advance; if they ask you to transfer money, it is mostly a scam.

4. Check the project's background

Confirm whether the project has:

• A legitimate whitepaper and team information

• Community activities (such as Twitter, Discord)

• A functioning DApp or product
