Here’s a concise **Airdrop Safety Guide** to help you avoid scams and protect your assets:

### **1. Verify the Source**

- Only participate in airdrops from **official websites** or verified social media accounts of reputable projects.

- Double-check URLs to avoid phishing sites (e.g., `trustwallet.com` vs. `trust-wallet.net`).

### **2. Never Share Private Keys or Seed Phrases**

- Legitimate airdrops **never** ask for your private key, seed phrase, or wallet password.

- Use a **separate wallet** for airdrops to minimize risk.

### **3. Beware of Fake Airdrops**

- If an airdrop seems too good to be true (e.g., "Send 0.1 ETH to receive 5 ETH"), it’s likely a scam.

- Avoid clicking on unsolicited links in emails/DMs.

### **4. Check Smart Contracts (Advanced)**

- Use tools like **Etherscan** or **BscScan** to review airdrop contract codes for malicious functions.

- Revoke unnecessary token approvals using [revoke.cash](https://revoke.cash).

### **5. Use a Burner Wallet**

- Consider using a new wallet with minimal funds for airdrop participation.

### **6. Research the Project**

- Check if the project has a **real use case**, active team, and community.

- Look for audits (e.g., CertiK, SlowMist) if tokens are involved.

### **7. Avoid Pay-to-Claim Scams**

- Legit airdrops are **free**. If you’re asked to send crypto first, it’s a scam.

### **8. Enable 2FA & Security Measures**

- Use **2FA** on exchanges and wallets.

- Keep software updated.
