Airdrops

Projects looking to grow their communities will often provide airdrops to users who download their wallet. There are Reddit sites and telegram channels dedicated to following the many airdrops happening across this space.

Also, people should be aware that scammers use the airdrop idea to steal cryptocurrency from unsuspecting victims. In its most common form, the scammer often creates a fake Twitter profile of a high-profile leader in this space and posts tweets offering airdrops of free cryptocurrency. The drawback? In order to avail of these free tokens, people are asked to first send a small amount of ETH for example with the promise that a larger sum will be returned. This never happens of course and accordingly many of the genuine bigger leaders include tag lines such as ‘will never send free eth’ into their profile. If it looks too good to be true, then probably is. Make sure to do your due diligence to identify a legitimate airdrop.

Here are a few simple pointers to assist you on how to avoid being a victim

DeFi

If you know your way around cryptocurrency you might consider buying tokens and then staking them to provide liquidity to different projects.

Given that most banks in the fiat world are charging deposit holders negative interest, this is another way to increase income based on current holdings.

There are many resources available to help you understand how to get started and various avenues available within the decentralised finance field.
