#AirdropSafetyGuide [GUIDE] How to stay safe while airdrop farming - Crucial safety information

Hey everyone,

I've been really into airdrops lately, as some of you might tell from my last airdrop posts. One question that gets raised a lot while farming airdrops is how to stay safe while interacting with multiple chains and dapps. The following guide is how I personally go about staying safe.

Having a secondary crypto wallet

While airdrop farming, it is preferable to use a secondary wallet. I personally use TrustWallet to hold most of my crypto investments. I transferred some ETH to MetaMask and started using that wallet for farming airdrops. This ensures that if something bad happens, most of your funds aren't at risk.

Disconnect dapps from your wallet.

If you're interacting with a large amount of dapps, it can be a good idea to disconnect dapps from your wallet. With Metamask, it can be done quite easily. Here is a link to a page that explains the process in simple steps: Disconnect wallet from a dapp, and here are the steps (copy-pasted from the guide):

Within the Account view, click on the 3 dots button on the top right-hand corner

In the expanded menu, click on Connected Sites

Click on the Disconnect next to any sites you wish to disconnect from

If you have multiple accounts connected to the same site, the option to remove connections from all of your accounts will appear when you click disconnect

Revoking Approvals

Disconnecting may not be enough to remove security risks associated with using dapps. In fact, if you approved a spending cap in your wallet (if you've done on-chain tips on this sub, you know what I'm talking about), dapps can access and move tokens in your wallet on your behalf
