You checked your wallet, and there it is!

A random token you’ve never seen.
No sender. No note. Just… sitting there.

Feels like a reward.
Like someone out there noticed you.
Like you just got lucky.

But in Web3?
Even “free” can cost you everything.

You asked around... 
"It's an airdrop" they said.

But what exactly is an airdrop?
Let’s talk about airdrops: the good, the bad, and the dangerous 👇

 So, what is an airdrop?
An airdrop is a way for Web3 projects to:

⭈ Spark attention
⭈ Reward early adopters
⭈ Distribute tokens
⭈ Grow a community

They’re often part of campaigns:

• You use the dApp
• Hold a token or NFT
• Join a community
• Complete tasks

And in return, the project drops tokens into your wallet.

No strings attached.
No catch.
Just earned value.
That’s the good kind.

But the game has changed.
Scammers know how curious we are, how desperate we can be.

So they do something sinister:
They send you a fake airdrop.
You didn’t sign up, didn't interact. It just appears like magic.

But the moment you:

➾ Click the token
➾ Try to swap it
➾ Visit a fake site…

Boom!
You’ve triggered a malicious contract.

Your wallet? Drained.

"Is that possible?" You're wondering.
Yes, it is! 
It’s social engineering with a crypto twist.

Fake airdrops work because they hijacked your instinct:
“If it’s free, it can’t hurt.”

But in Web3, interaction = permission.

That “free” token could be the most expensive mistake you make.

Here’s the golden rule:

If you didn’t ask for it, don’t touch it.

That's it for tonight's episode with @newbnet_.
See you tomorrow 

Remember: 

Not all airdrops are rewards. Some are traps.

And in this game?
Only the informed survive.
