It will be safe if the airdrop only requires wallet address and telegram. If the airdrop requires you to verify your KYC or private key then it is definitely not secure. And it is a scammer

I think not all airdrops flying around are safe and worth participating, so watch out and scrutinize any airdrop before participating. Be more mindful of airdrops not backed up by any reasonable project, they may just be trying to victimized you.

If some kind of transactions are required to get airdrop tokens, this is no more airdrop. I have seen two such cases for which they called "Self Drop". Both projects were scam. Tokens should be sent only performing some social media tasks and not doing any kind of transaction. We should also be careful checking what kind of information project asks to do the tasks eligible for airdrop.

Airdrop is the best way to introduct your coin to community. But, you may deal with many " bounty hunters " who always try to sell it faster and dumb your price.
Unless that issue, the Airdrop campaign is giving-away to present your project. So, it's safe, but hard to do.

the first reason that kept me from several air strike campaigns was because they were not safe on the other hand the rewards given from the air strikes were also not much. but for some airdrop token hunters they don't care about that, for me it's better to follow the gift than with airdrops.

I think there are currently very few safe airdrops, some airdrops currently have a high risk of having to do KYC for airdrop participants and from there your identity is exposed and you have no privacy anymore.

for me airdrop is safe if we don't send some bitcoin or altcoin. it's just that the airdrop is currently less worth it to be followed, because there is no price at the time of distribution or when on the market.

sending your data for 2-3 dollars that you can earn in Airdrop is at least very strange. because even these 2-3 dollars are not guaranteed to you

Some airdrop are not safe any airdrop asking for any sort of payment or signed message that requires exposing a sensitive information about your wallet isn't safe. Airdrop are designed d for building community for a said project. Stay safe put there.

I don’t understand why projects are requesting any data for participation in the airdrop. the main goal of creating airdrop is to increase the number of users on social networks.

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?
Avoid any airdrop that asks you to do such. There is something not right about such an arrangement. It is insidious and may likely cause you regret. The most an airdrop can ask for is your wallet address where the crypto can be sent to, and not that you should sign it to prove ownership. BTW, airdrops aren't worth it anymore. Most coins given out this way always end up as shitcoins.

it's very dangerous if they require you or a participant to send btc to them, you need to know that airdrops are free tokens and you don't have to bother to approve your btc transactions for them. if you take part in the airdrops campaign make it a side when you have time spare, but always be aware of any unreasonable requirements.

actually airdrop is safe, but only how do we choose the airdrop. because right now there are sometimes no airdrop, and we must be more selective in choosing airdrops. many feel disadvantaged by airdrop because they do not choose more selectively, there are also those who benefit from airdrop because they are more selective in choosing airdrop
yup! it depends on the airdrop we choose. there are some safe airflows that are also beneficial, but they are very difficult to find. most airdrops currently require us to do KYC, i think that makes no sense but many people still follow it. but until now, i don't see anyone being harmed because of that.

The mechanism for signing messages is different from the mechanism for signing transactions on the network, so you have nothing to worry about. However, in any case, be careful with any of your online activities. Why is it necessary to confirm for airdrop that this is your wallet? I don’t see the point in this, so I would not participate in the airdrop where wallet confirmation is required.

Any airdrops are not safe, but it is a free money (if real) and we dont need much time to do this.
Just remember some tips.
Never do any KYC on Airdrops. Never fill up a form asking your private key Use an email and wallet for airdrop only different from what you are using personally. Never send any amount just to get tokens.

Airdrop is currently more insecure,which is often caused by malware viruses through social media sites or other media,especially if you have to send bitcoin to get coins,I have long since left airdrop I think if you are interested,you should be careful because it often happens data theft.

The best time I only enjoyed airdrop was during the bull run, all I got was ETH tokens that can easily be traded in Ether delta at that time. But when some of the airdrop I joined ask some KYC information, I loss my interest in such as I know most of the airdrop are scams. It will only be safe if we don't give anything, except our ETH address where they will send the free tokens. I made a good amount from airdrop, but that was only when the time people are still in FOMO due the bull run, but then as the market starts to stabilize and correction happen, airdrop has slowly gone in the space.

I think the airdrop is safe, but does not bring any profit to the participants. And we must not forget that airdrop can be a scam.

Sending airdrop to your address may not create or permit anyone to steal your coins, moreover, airdrops are mostly sent in to Ethereum wallets not Bitcoin. Just be extremely careful when trying to sign messages or make transactions . Besides airdrops are worthless, they are mostly equivalent to few cents or dollars to the tokens or coins. So why take the risk just because you want to claim some tokens.
Yes, I strictly agree with this, being extremely careful is the key.
