In 2025, airdrop scams may surge due to AI-driven deepfakes mimicking influencers, exploitation of Layer 2/cross-chain projects attracting users to fake platforms, and rising airdrop hype enticing greed with unrealistic rewards. Social engineering tactics, like phishing links and urgency-driven scams, will also escalate.

Participants can protect themselves by:

Verifying authenticity through official channels (avoid unsolicited links).

Never sharing private keys or paying upfront fees.

Using dedicated wallets for airdrops to limit exposure.

Enabling 2FA and scrutinizing smart contracts via blockchain explorers.

Reporting suspicious activity and staying informed about scam trends.

Staying skeptical of "too-good" offers and leveraging security tools like wallet filters are critical
