Unfamiliar tokens suddenly appeared in your wallet. Should you be concerned?
On public blockchains like Ethereum, anyone can send tokens to any address, and the recipient will receive them without having to agree.
Some scam tokens even use the names and icons of well-known tokens. You can’t tell whether they’re real just by looking at the name—you need to check the contract address.
The most important thing to remember when managing your funds: rely on official project announcements for legitimate airdrops. Tokens that appear in your address on their own are not proof of anything.
