The most dangerous part of claiming an airdrop isn’t failing to claim it—it’s landing on the wrong page.

A fake claim page can look exactly like the real one. It just has a bigger button and a more urgent countdown, all to get you to connect your wallet.

Before claiming, I now do just 3 checks. If even one is missing, I don’t connect:

**Step 1: Use only official channels**

Only click links pinned by the project’s official account or posted in announcements on its official website. Treat links forwarded in groups, posted in comments, or sent by DM as fake until proven otherwise.

If the official link and the group link are different, trust the official one.

**Step 2: Check the domain character by character**

Fake sites usually rely on two tricks: adding one letter or changing the domain extension.

Open it and check the address bar first, character by character. Don’t just judge by how the page looks. Pages can be faked; domain names are harder to fake.

**Step 3: Check what it’s asking for before connecting**

When claiming a legitimate airdrop, your wallet should prompt you to confirm the claim or sign a message.

If it immediately asks you to approve a token with an unlimited allowance, or asks you to send $BNB as a “fee” before you’ve even claimed anything, close it right away.

A legitimate airdrop won’t ask you to pay upfront.

The image is an illustration, not a screenshot of an actual page. Just follow the three steps in order.

One more thing: if you’re unsure, don’t connect. You can claim an airdrop a day later, but there’s no getting your wallet back a day later if it’s been drained.

Have you ever almost clicked Connect on a fake claim page? What stopped you?
