Airdrops Safety Guide
1. Use a Dedicated Wallet for Airdrops
Create a separate wallet just for claiming airdrops.
This limits risk if a contract turns out to be malicious.
Prefer non-custodial wallets like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or Rabby.
2. Never Share Your Seed Phrase or Private Key
No legit project will ever ask for it.
If anyone does, it's a scam — block and report.
3. Verify Official Sources
Always double-check links on official Twitter/X, Discord, or the project’s verified website (use CoinGecko/CoinMarketCap links).
Beware of fake lookalike websites.
4. Avoid Connecting Wallets to Suspicious Sites
Don't connect your wallet to unknown dApps.
Use a browser extension like Revoke.cash or Rabby to manage and revoke permissions.
5. Watch for Fake Airdrops
Common red flags:
Asking for payment or gas fees in advance
Urgent deadlines or exaggerated rewards
Spammy social media DMs
6. Be Cautious with New Tokens in Your Wallet
Sometimes scammers send fake tokens.
Don't interact with unknown airdropped tokens — they may be programmed to drain your wallet if touched.
7. Use a Hardware Wallet for Large Funds
If you're active in DeFi, use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor) to protect your main assets.
8. Revoke Unused Permissions
Go to Revoke.cash and review wallet approvals regularly.
Remove access to dApps you no longer trust or use.
9. Stay Updated on Known Scams
Follow trusted sources like:
