🧩 What is an airdrop and how to take advantage of them without falling into traps?

An airdrop is when a project distributes free tokens as part of its launch or marketing strategy.

🎁 Yes, they literally give away crypto. But not everything free is safe.

✅ Why do they do it?

To build a community.

To encourage product usage.

To reward early adopters.

🔎 Real example:

Those who used Arbitrum before its token received airdrops worth thousands of dollars just for interacting early.

⚠️ But be careful with fake airdrops:

If they ask for your seed phrase, it’s a scam.

If the site looks strange or forced, run away.

If there is no official source, don’t touch it.

🧠 Tip:

Follow the projects you use, engage in their communities, and keep records.

If you are active and early… the airdrop will come to you without having to chase it like it’s a unicorn.
