An airdrop is when a project distributes free tokens to users, often to reward early activity or decentralize ownership. They generate excitement \u2014 and a lot of scams.<\/p>\n
Real airdrops usually reward people who already used a protocol, and claiming them should never require you to send funds or share your seed phrase. The value of airdropped tokens is highly variable and often falls quickly after distribution.<\/p>\n
“Airdrop” is also a favorite scam hook: fake claim sites that drain wallets, or tokens that appear in your wallet and lure you to a malicious site. Never connect your wallet to an unknown claim page, and never approve transactions you do not understand.
