Receiving an airdrop is exciting.

But it's also when many lose time, money, or data. Here are the 7 mistakes to avoid at all costs:




⚠️ 1. Not verifying the legitimacy of the airdrop


Many rush in without doing DYOR (Do Your Own Research).

➡️ Check:

  • Official site

  • Account X (formerly Twitter)

  • Listed on CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko



    ⚠️ 2. Signing questionable transactions


    Some airdrops require you to "claim" a token.

    ➡️ Never connect your wallet to an unknown site.

    Use Revoke.cash to check active permissions.




    ⚠️ 3. Keep tokens in a hot wallet


    After receiving your airdrop:

    ➡️ Transfer to a cold wallet (Ledger, Trezor) if possible.




    ⚠️ 4. Selling too quickly (or too late)

    • Some tokens explode right after the airdrop

    • Others drop within a few hours

      ➡️ Check the volumes + CEX listing announcements before deciding.



    ⚠️ 5. Forgetting taxes or declarations


    ➡️ Depending on your country, airdrops may be taxable

    Don't let taxes take your wallet from you 💸




    ⚠️ 6. Getting trapped by clones


    A common scam: fake tokens identical to the real ones

    ➡️ Check the contract address on Etherscan or BSCScan


⚠️ 7. Giving your seed phrase (recovery phrase)


It seems obvious, but many get caught by fake customer support.

➡️ Never give it to ANYONE.



🧠 Conclusion:

An airdrop: opportunity.

But without the right reflexes, it's also the perfect trap for hackers.

✅ Stay professional, stay calm, and above all… stay safe.
