How to Avoid Airdrop Scams in a Bull Run – Stay Safe While You Stack Up!
The Bull Run (BOL) is coming in hot, and crypto giants like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are roaring back to life! You’re stacking sats, swapping tokens, and riding the hype — but so are the scammers.
Bull runs are prime time for airdrop scams. Scammers know people are active, excited, and hungry for the next big token. That’s exactly when they strike — with fake giveaways, phishing links, and shady contracts disguised as free airdrops.
Don’t let greed cloud your judgment. Legit airdrops are out there — but so are traps that can drain your wallet in seconds.
Here’s your quick guide to staying safe:
⸻
🚩 Red Flags to Watch Out For:
• Fake social media giveaways from unverified accounts
• Websites or bots asking for private keys or seed phrases (🚨 immediate red flag!)
• Suspicious token approvals that request high gas fees or unknown permissions
• Airdrops asking for upfront payments or “activation fees” – a legit drop NEVER charges
⸻
🛡 Scam Prevention Strategies:
• Verify everything: Cross-check project announcements on official websites and X (Twitter)
• Use tools like Etherscan, Solscan, DappRadar, and Token Sniffer to validate contracts
• Avoid clicking random links in DMs, Discords, or Telegram channels
• Enable 2FA on wallets and exchanges, and store recovery phrases offline
⸻
✅ Safe Airdrop Practices:
• Create a dedicated wallet for airdrops to isolate risk
• Don’t interact with mystery tokens that appear in your wallet uninvited — could be dusting scams
• Bookmark and access official project pages only (not Google ad results)
• Use a hardware wallet to protect your long-term holdings from malicious contracts

The Bull Run is full of opportunity — but greed is the scammer’s playground. Be sharp, be smart, and protect your crypto while stacking BTC, ETH, and SOL like a pro.
DYOR. Stay safe. Stay bullish.
