As long as you don't give your identity to KYC airdrop, I think airdrop is safe. leave it if airdrop asks for your data, and don't sell your data cheaply.

We do not know, but I've gained a reasonable amount of money for some airdrops. Some airdrops require to do KYC, that I won't participate because they will get your own identity for just a few bucks and its not worth the risk. Just be careful on clicking links of those airdrops, it might be a virus or their means to hack your computer, we do not know.

It depends on different factors. How their lives easy or difficult? How high money they can receive from airdrops compared to their usual daily income? How about the level of their needs on money (for them, for their families) at specific time points, on which airdrops announced for participants), so many factors. However, whatever reasons force them to join airdrops that ask them to do KYCs, they should know all or most sorts of risks before accepting to join and throw away their identities.

I better skip airdrop which requires our documents for KYC. A lot of airdrop now requires KYC and I don't think it's worth the airdrop value we get. I agree that we must carefully click on the airdrop link because what we get is not commensurate with the risk we get

Its safe if you want to join airdrops but make sure the airdrops are from known sources and stay away from those that ask for KYC

Most of them will not pay or doesn't have a value in the market therefore you are just putting your private data at risk specially if they asked for KYC as requirement. So i suggest that you avoid them as your personal information is not worthy against the risks.

The way they usually work is they give you some string and you sign it to prove you own the address.
Could a malicious air drop make a transaction sending all your BTC to them, and then you sign it, and then they broadcast it to the network? Or is signing a message different than signing a transaction?
Never join an airdrop that asks anything from you. That is not an airdrop anymore. By design, airdrops should be completely free. If in exchange for a dime of their worthless coins, you are asked to deposit a certain amount to prove your ownership, or provide your private keys and other private information, or even asks for your personal information, disregard it immediately. That is pure bullshit. As much as possible, you even stay away from airdrops.

all of that is wrong. the way airdrop works isn't like that. they give us rewards because we have promoted their projects and not us who gave them gifts. usually our task in an airdrop is to retweet or post their project to our social media. and once again an airdrop is not an agreement but we help them promote the project they are doing with later we are given a reward. after all, we only give wallet addresses, so just calm down they can't take our money.

As long as airdrop is free and does not require payment or your identity, it can be said to be safe to join.
There are airdrop like that but you can't expect you'll get a good value of your airdrop, probably just a shitcoin. Simple math, why would they pay you if they don't get anything from you?

Yes it is safe provided they don't start making request for your private keys. You also gave to be careful with the Ines that will ask you to donate. Some are genuine some are not. Truly, some are designed to collect your information which they sale to companies. Some individuals also collate your information and make you join telegram groups which they build and sale to aspiring projects.

Just be safe please, don't EVER follow a struling that tells you to sign a contract with your private key except through metamask cos it will notify you whenever they want to spend from your wallet. Great Airdrops don't usually ask for such. Be guided pls

Are Airdrop safe.? well my ans is no. Because good projects are not going to give you free money. But yes there is some projects that told you to do some task for them like subscribe there social channels or register there website, for those matter you can inquire those project and then you can fill the application. Please avoid those airdrop which told to you such a lot of money. just think why anyone give you money without any reason. Do not give them any personal information for your safety. keep safe, think twice before you do something.

Airdrops just give insignificant rewards and I don't see why you would risk your btc for these small dollars. Mostly airdrops don't require much works but if they are requesting that you fill some forms of which you don't trust, just ignore it and be safe

do not perform airdrop , they are not now a big profit , and there is no big money in them , especially if you are asked to download the program you can infect your computer with different viruses.

airdrop is now mostly a scam they try to get our personal data in many ways, in my opinion if airdrop doesn't require you to send anything it will be fine but you also have to be careful
Have you done KYC in participating with them? Cause if not, then you're not risking your personal identities by then but only waiting for another dead coin to receive. What actually we do, never get tempted to participate in those free coins cause it never seems to be profitable anymore...better to have it in participating bounty or signature campaigns.

Most of the airdrops are safe. Cause you don't have to do anything. But I am saying form my experience that most of the airdrops are nothing but a waste of time. Signing a message is not something to worry about. When a airdrops required this kind kind of thing better to avoid that. Cause I never done this kind of things in my life. Whatever it is be care ful and always keep your eyes open.

It is safe if you do not mistakenly give them a private key or UTC file to open your wallet. Practically most airdrops are filth, they just open up to cheat, or to up their turn to track their telegram channel, social channel .... There are many airdrop malicious files and entice you to download to your computer, in order to infiltrate your computer. You should be careful when making airdrop.
