Before you tap "Connect wallet," run this 60-second airdrop safety check
Airdrop farming goes wrong most often before the first on-chain step — at the moment you connect a wallet to a lookalike site.
Here is a simple pre-check I use. No financial advice. This is education only.
1) Confirm the official domain yourself
Type the project URL from a trusted source (official docs / verified social). Do not trust DMs, search ads, or "claim now" pop-ups.
2) Prefer a burner wallet
Keep farming funds separate from long-term holdings. Never paste a seed phrase or private key into a website.
3) Read every signature
If a prompt asks for unlimited token approval, setApprovalForAll, or a Permit you do not understand — stop. Decline and research first.
4) Treat "claim" pages as high risk
Urgent countdowns, fake support agents, and "pay gas in advance to unlock" messages are classic drain patterns.
5) Verify before you size up
A high social score is not a payout guarantee. Cross-check contracts, eligibility rules, and whether the campaign is still live.
Useful habit: screenshot the exact URL and the transaction preview before you confirm. If something looks off, walk away. Fog is a valid exit.
Curious how others run their checklist before touching $BNB or other chains? Drop your step one below — domain check, burner wallet, or signature review?
Not financial advice. DYOR. Rewards and airdrops are never guaranteed.
