Fake airdrop
A fake airdrop is a phishing page that announces free tokens or an eligibility check, so that visitors connect their wallet and sign a request that drains it.
How it works
Lures spread through promoted posts, hijacked project accounts and look-alike domains of real protocols. The "claim" button requests an approval, a permit or a transfer.
Domains copy the real project's design and are often registered hours before the campaign.

How to protect yourself
- Check airdrops only from the project's official channels and its verified domain.
- Never sign an approval to "claim" tokens.
