#AirdropSafetyGuide Airdrop Safety Guide is a guide to help users maintain security while participating in airdrop programs, which are distributions of tokens or crypto assets for free (usually as part of a crypto project promotion). Although it sounds beneficial, airdrops can also be a gateway for scams and security threats. Here are important insights in the Airdrop Safety Guide:

---

1. Beware of Fake Airdrops

Many scammers impersonate popular crypto projects to trap users.

Avoid clicking suspicious links from social media or emails.

Always verify the authenticity of the project's site and official accounts (for example, through CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, or verified Twitter/X accounts).

2. Never Give Out Your Private Key

No legitimate airdrop will ask for your private key, seed phrase, or 2FA code.

Giving these means surrendering full access to your wallet.

3. Use a Dedicated Wallet for Airdrops

Create a separate wallet from your main wallet to participate in airdrops.

This limits risk if that wallet is compromised.

4. Check the Token Contract

After receiving airdrop tokens, do not interact with them immediately (such as selling on DEX) without verifying their contract.

Some malicious tokens can trigger attacks if touched or transferred.

5. Avoid Airdrops that Request Fees Upfront

Legitimate airdrops do not ask for payment in advance.

Be cautious if asked to pay "gas fees," "verification," or other fees before receiving tokens.

6. Don’t Be Tempted by Excessive Rewards

Offers that seem too good to be true are usually scams.

7. Use Trusted Sources

Participate in airdrops only from credible platforms such as:

Airdrops.io

CoinMarketCap Airdrop

Official projects (on Discord, Twitter/X, or their site)
