Here’s a Crypto Airdrop Safety Guide to help you stay secure while hunting free tokens:
1. Never Share Private Keys
No legitimate airdrop will ever ask for your private key or seed phrase. If they do, it's 100% a scam.
2. Use a Fresh Wallet
Create a new wallet solely for airdrops. This limits exposure if a project turns out to be malicious.
3. Verify the Source
Always double-check official links on trusted platforms like the project’s verified X (Twitter), website, or CoinGecko page.
4. Watch for Phishing
Scammers often mimic real projects. Look closely at URLs, domain names, and social handles before connecting your wallet.
5. Use a Revoke Tool
Regularly review and revoke token approvals using tools like Revoke.cash to prevent hidden exploits.
6. Avoid Suspicious Downloads
Never install unknown apps or browser extensions claiming to help with airdrops. These often carry malware.
7. Don’t Pay to Claim
Legit airdrops are free (except gas fees). If you’re asked to pay in crypto to claim—run away.
