Airdrop's goal is advertising, aimed at disseminating information about project tokens to potential investors and crypto market enthusiasts. Mostly Airdrops carry out projects that are only planning to enter the market and are not yet known to anyone. In this way, the organizers are trying to publicize the startup. However, they collect private information of the project participants, and it scares sometimes.

Firstly most of the airdrops are nothing but some useless coins. They never come to the market if they come the price is almost negligible. But if you reaaly want to join you can go with it. Most of the airdrops are easy to get they give some task and they you have to provide your address they send the time. But if a airdrop asking for kyc through their form. I don't think its a fine job. Many asking for sign from the address. Though it is safe but I usually ignore this kind of thing.

Well the airdrops are pretty risky. They collect all the informations and even then we are not sure that they are going to reward us with something or not. While collecting the passwords, they can also guess the password for individuals. Most people usually keep same password on different websites.

If you put your private keys in their form to qualify airdrop then it can hack your bitcoin. Not all airdrops are safe, some there requires you to download a wallet in order to receive your token, but it is a malicious software so be aware don't be fool.
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.

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.
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.

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.
