Hi guys,In this matter, I would like to share some points that can make the airdrop hunters and newbies in the crypto arena as safe as possible. Everyone knows that scammers have increased in abundance until this year, and they are making every effort to unjustly steal innocent people's money. They can steal anyone's money with just one mistake he makes.
One common mistake some airdrop hunters make is their belief that disconnecting their wallet (MetaMask, Trust wallet.. etc.) from the airdrop site or platform makes it safer and cuts off scammers’ access to their wallet, and this is wrong. Interaction with smart contracts takes place through a signature from the wallet (Approval Transaction), and this signature is not canceled unless the person performs a Revocation Permission transaction.
To protect your wallet and revoke these Permissions, you must go to Revoke.cash - Through it, you can view the Permissions of smart contracts from all networks and all wallet signatures in one place, and you can revoke any contract or signature that you deem suspicious, and the site takes some fees for each transaction.

Well, this feature is on the Metamask wallet, and through it, you can put a specific number of the coins that you want to make the transaction with; I do not recommend that you put the entire amount of your coins in the (Custom Spending cap) you can lose some small fees each time if you want to increase the amount of the coins that you want to make the transaction with, but this protects you from losing all the amount of your coins.
