#空投防骗手册 【Airdrop Scam Prevention Guide: Protect Your Crypto Assets】
Airdrops, as a common means for the cold start of crypto projects, are becoming a hotspot for scams. Here are the key points for prevention:
1. Verify Project Authenticity
Be wary of "popular projects" that have not been audited; prioritize projects with clear official websites, whitepapers, and developers with open-source code. You can verify the contract deployment time and developer address history using on-chain data tools.
2. Be Cautious of "Task-Based" Airdrops
Airdrops that require you to stake assets, forward social content, or provide KYC involve a 90% risk of scams. Legitimate airdrops will not ask for your private key or recovery phrase.
3. Verify Token Distribution Records
Use tools like Etherscan to check contract transfer records and confirm that the airdropped tokens are actually deposited into your wallet address, rather than just showing a false balance.
4. Beware of Social Media Scams
Scams impersonating official websites and social accounts are frequent; rely on official channels for announcement information.
Final Reminder: No airdrop should exceed the scope of your active participation. The "free lunch" in the cryptocurrency field often hides carefully designed traps.
