#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.
