#AirdropSafetyGuide *1. Verify the Source**
Always double-check if the airdrop is official. Only trust announcements from **verified project accounts** (website, Twitter, Discord, etc.).
**2. Never Share Private Keys**
**Legit airdrops will *never* ask for your seed phrase, private key, or password**. If they do — it’s a scam.
**3. Use a Fresh Wallet**
Create a **new wallet** just for airdrops. Keeps your main assets safe even if something goes wrong.
**4. Watch for Fake Websites**
Scammers make websites that *look* real. **Check the URL carefully** or use trusted link aggregators.
**5. Avoid Paying Upfront**
Airdrops are supposed to be *free*. If someone asks for payment (even for "gas fees"), it’s likely a scam.
**6. Beware of "Too Good to Be True"**
Huge reward promises for doing nothing = major red flag. **Stay skeptical**.
**7. Monitor Token Approvals**
If you interact with shady contracts, they could get spending permissions. **Revoke token approvals** regularly (using tools like Revoke.cash).
**8. Stay Updated**
Follow official project socials, and join well-moderated communities where scams get called out fast.
