# Fake airdrop

## Definition

A fake airdrop is a scam that promises free tokens or rewards in order to lure users into phishing pages, malicious approvals, deposits or seed-phrase disclosure.

## What it means in practice

The attacker may use copied branding, fake claim sites or unsolicited tokens to make the promotion look real.

## How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

Terenval has legitimate first-party promotional contexts such as TRNL Airdrop, so users should verify any claim only through official Terenval channels and never provide recovery material.

**Important:** A real airdrop does not justify giving a site your seed phrase or private key.
