#AirdropSafetyGuide Here’s a quick #AirdropSafetyGuide to help you stay safe while claiming crypto airdrops:
---
1. Verify the Source
Only trust airdrops from official project websites or verified social media accounts.
Be cautious of links in unsolicited messages (DMs, emails, comments).
2. Use a Fresh Wallet
Create a new wallet with no funds to interact with unknown airdrops.
This protects your main wallet from potential smart contract exploits.
3. Never Share Your Seed Phrase
No legitimate airdrop will ever ask for your seed phrase or private keys.
If someone does—it's a scam.
4. Check Smart Contract Permissions
Review token approvals using tools like Revoke.cash or Etherscan Token Approvals.
Revoke unnecessary permissions after interacting with any new dApp.
5. Beware of Dusting Scams
Don't interact with unknown tokens that appear in your wallet.
These can be phishing traps or links to malicious sites.
6. Avoid Connecting to Unknown dApps
If prompted to sign random transactions or connect your wallet, stop and investigate first.
Use a hardware wallet or a secure browser extension like MetaMask with phishing detection enabled.
7. Use Reputable Communities
Follow announcements from official Discords, Telegrams, or Twitter/X accounts.
Stay updated via communities like r/CryptoCurrency or CoinGecko airdrop alerts.
