Airdrop Safety Guide (2025)
1. Use a Dedicated Wallet
Create a separate wallet for airdrops (e.g., MetaMask, Rabby, Trust Wallet).
Never connect your main wallet with high-value assets to unknown dApps.
---
2. Never Share These:
Private keys
Seed phrases
2FA codes
No legitimate airdrop will ever ask for them.
---
3. Verify URLs & Projects
Only use official links from trusted sources like:
CoinMarketCap Airdrops
Airdrops.io
[Project’s official X (Twitter) or Discord]
Use whois.domaintools.com to check domain legitimacy.
---
4. Check Smart Contract Permissions
After connecting to any dApp, revoke token approvals using:
Revoke.cash
Etherscan Token Approvals
This prevents malicious contracts from draining your wallet.
---
5. Use Burner Wallets for Interactions
For highly experimental dApps or testnets, use a burner wallet with minimal funds.
---
6. Be Wary of Fake Airdrop Claims
Red flags include:
Poor grammar and design
Urgent, FOMO-driven messages (“Claim now or miss out!”)
Airdrops asking for a payment or wallet import
---
7. Confirm the Airdrop Is Real
Look for:
Active community on Discord or X
GitHub repositories or audits
Verified profiles (check for blue check on X)
---
8. Use a Password Manager & Security Tools
Protect your wallet credentials with tools like:
Bitwarden or 1Password
Enable 2FA on all platforms (including your email)
---
9. Monitor Wallet Activity
Tools like:
DeBank
Zapper
Wallet Guard
