A crypto airdrop is a distribution of tokens to users. Some airdrops reward early users, while others are marketing campaigns or community incentives.
How airdrops work
A project may send tokens to eligible wallets, ask users to claim them, or reward people who used a protocol before a deadline. Eligibility rules vary widely.
Airdrop scams
Scammers often use fake airdrops to steal private keys, seed phrases, or trick users into signing harmful transactions. A real airdrop should not require your seed phrase.
Before claiming an airdrop, check the official project website, wallet permissions, and whether the token contract is legitimate.
