Airdrop is one way to get free crypto from a crypto project in the context of promoting new crypto before it is listed on a crypto exchange, decentralization so that nodes are spread widely or to avoid concentration of crypto ownership, loyalty of crypto owners stored in wallets in addition to reducing market volatility .

The easiest way to get information about crypto airdrops is to join airdrop groups which are widely available on X accounts (Twitter), Facebook, Telegram etc.

Unfortunately, up to now there are still many airdrop scams, so we have to be careful and vigilant when claiming crypto airdrops. Here are 5 ways to avoid airdrop fraud as follows:

1. Private Key. Never give your private key to anyone and for any reason.

2. New crypto wallet, it is better to use a new crypto wallet that is still empty, especially to avoid Dust Attacks which are often launched by airdrop projects.

3. Don't send crypto or fiat money to any account, because basically airdrops are free, fake airdrop projects often promise crypto will be sent immediately after the deposit is received.

4. Phishing. Phishing sites will be similar to real sites so we have to be careful and pay attention to the url/domain, often they use pop up ads and steal all the crypto in the wallet.

5. Official sources, you should check official sources which are often found on social media, so you can avoid crypto airdrop fraud.
