#AirdropSafetyGuide Airdrop Safety Guide

1. Understand the Source

Verify the project: Only participate in airdrops from reputable and verified projects. Check official social media, websites, and communities (e.g., Discord, Twitter).

Watch for impersonators: Scammers often clone popular projects.

2. Protect Your Wallet

Use a separate wallet: Create a fresh wallet just for receiving airdrops. This limits exposure if the airdrop is malicious.

Avoid sharing private keys or seed phrases: No legitimate airdrop will ever ask for these.

3. Beware of Scams

Fake forms and phishing links: Only use official links. Double-check URLs.

Too-good-to-be-true rewards: Be skeptical of huge token offers for little effort.

Fake gas fee refunds: Never send crypto to receive more crypto.

4. Security Best Practices

Use hardware wallets for long-term storage.

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all related platforms.

Keep software updated, including wallet apps and browsers.

5. Post-Airdrop Caution

Token approval risks: Be careful before interacting with tokens via DApps; malicious tokens can request unlimited spending approval.

Check token contracts: Verify if the tokens are genuine and audited.

Don't trade unknown tokens: Some airdropped tokens can be honeypots — you can buy but not sell.
