- **Phantom** (for Solana).
- **Trust Wallet** (multi-chain, good for beginners).
- **Cool Wallet** (for Algorand).
🔸 *Tip:* Use a **new wallet just for airdrops** (not the same one where you keep your important funds).
### 🔹 **2. Get a Small Balance for Gas Fees**
- Some airdrops require interaction with smart contracts (you will need ETH, MATIC, BNB, etc.).
