I don't think this one is real. Personally, from experience, I don't like involving myself in airdrops from telegram groups , 99.9% of them also turn out to be fake and dubious.
Yeah, and you better remain that way because 90% of telegram deals are all scams so you must have to protect yourself against that, and more also, bounty and airdrops are mostly scams and at that, you should avoid engaging in them excessively.
Like the one ops share is a total scam and the aim is to swindle them of the fees the scammers are asking for, because experience from past events has made most of us open to seeing red flags faster than any other person and it is hard for a scammer to escape our eagle eyes since we are constantly looking out for such attempts.
You're right, only a newbie will take airdrops on telegram groups serious. You register and when you are done, they ask for you to send usdt to a certain wallet so they can send your rewards. Only a fool will be gullible enough to fall for their gimmick.
Do you check already the smart contract of this token. You will notice if this token is legit or not if there a buy and sell transaction on the DEX it was listed and the smart contract has a lot of transaction history including the recent one.
I agree with you totally. These days most airdrops come as a result of performing tasks, using their testnet or swapping the token, or by holding certain tokens. It doesn't just fall from the sky, sacrifices must be made.
This is entirely not true, as most of these scam airdrops are swappable to some point, and even if you scan their smart contract, you will see the dex option, which shows that there is swapping going on on that coin or token. But when you look at those executed trades, you will notice two things. Either the trading is just conducted by a few whitelisted addresses, which will probably belong to the team, or the airdropper is only allowed to swap 0.1%–1% of their total holdings. This number depends on the airdrop, which is why if you try to swap such a small amount, you will have to spend more than what the token cost you as a transaction fee, starting from the approval page to that of transaction confirmation, with slippage up to 12%, leaving the victims with nothing to go home with.
So checking the smart contract alone is not enough to prove if the token is real or not. Scammers are becoming smarter every day, and sometimes all they need is for you to click on their dex or Web3 dapp, which they will ask you to use in swapping your reward.
Of what use is having a token in your wallet that you can not swap? Is it not fraudulent to send someone a token that you know can never be swapped because of the way and manner the smart contract has been configured.
So,.you saying it's not entirely true probably means you have been to benefit from airdrops on telegram groups, but for me, I have never been able to do so, and that's why I said they are mostly scam and dubious.
