Fake Airdrops: How to Stay Safe on Zora
How fraudulent airdrops use urgency and unfamiliar contracts to trick wallet users.
Why this matters on Zora
An unsolicited token or airdrop is not a free invitation to interact. If claiming requires a suspicious approval or a transaction with unclear effects, do not sign it.
Zora is an Ethereum scaling ecosystem with its own network balances and application environment.
Zora is part of the Ethereum scaling ecosystem. The same ticker can exist on Ethereum and on Zora as separate token contracts, so a balance seen on one network cannot be assumed to exist, or to be redeemable at the same value, on the other.
Zora: what to pay attention to
- Security: Confirm the active network and transaction details before signing.
- Assets and tokens: Verify the token contract on Zora.
- Costs: Compare network gas with any bridge or liquidity costs.
A Zora checklist for this topic
- Read what a Zora transaction or signature request actually authorizes before approving it.
- Treat unexpected tokens or links that appear in a Zora wallet as untrusted until verified.
- Review and revoke permissions you no longer use on Zora, especially unlimited approvals.
- Check the domain you are on before connecting a wallet for any Zora action.
Bridge from Zora
