🎁 What is WalletConnect-Giveaway? Is it real or fraudulent?
🧩 Introduction
With the rapid development of blockchain technologies and digital wallets, promotional campaigns labeled "Giveaway" – meaning free distribution of cryptocurrencies or certain benefits to users – are on the rise. One such campaign that has recently gained widespread attention is known as WalletConnect-Giveaway. But, is it an official, trustworthy campaign? Or just a digital scam aimed at stealing users' wallets?
🔐 What is WalletConnect?
WalletConnect is an open-source protocol used to connect digital wallets like MetaMask and Trust Wallet to other Web3 applications securely. It serves as a bridge between the user and decentralized applications (DApps) without the need to share the private key.
🎉 What does "WalletConnect-Giveaway" mean?
It is a campaign that claims to distribute free cryptocurrencies or rewards such as NFTs or Airdrop tokens in exchange for "connecting your wallet" via a link sent to you or posted on social media.
The typical mechanism works as follows:
You receive a link titled "WalletConnect-Giveaway" via Twitter, Telegram, or email.
You are asked to connect your wallet using an interface that looks like WalletConnect.
After "connecting", you are either surprised by the theft of your balance or by an unauthorized withdrawal authorization (Approval Scam).
