How to Identify Traps and Protect Assets?
In the field of cryptocurrency, airdrop scams are rampant, and a moment's negligence can lead to asset loss. Here is my summarized guide to avoid pitfalls:
🚨 Warning Signals
1. Unclear Team: Anonymous teams or fake LinkedIn profiles should be approached with caution.
2. Fake Websites: Misspelled URLs, lack of SSL encryption (https), poorly designed.
3. Suspicious Contracts: Requests for excessive token approval rights (e.g., unlimited authorization) or inclusion of malicious code.
🔍 Verifying Project Legitimacy
- On-chain Checks: Verify contract addresses and transaction records through browsers like Etherscan.
- Community Research: Check if Discord/TG groups are active and if the team responds to key questions.
- Third-party Audits: Un-audited contracts carry high risks; prioritize projects audited by Certik.
⚠️ Common Scam Tactics
- Fake Airdrop Claim Pages: Induce users to connect wallets and steal recovery phrases.
- Phishing Links: Impersonating official announcements on Twitter/Discord DMs.
- Fake Token Traps: Airdropped tokens cannot be sold (liquidity is drained).
🛡️ My Safety Habits
- Always operate with a small test wallet; the main wallet should not participate in unknown airdrops.
- Manually check contract permissions and refuse unlimited authorization.
Reminder: Real airdrops will never ask for private keys or require payment! Stay skeptical, and multiple verifications are necessary to protect your assets.
