Avoid clicking links in unsolicited NFT airdrops. Connecting your wallet to suspicious websites may result in the loss of funds. Blockchain transactions are irreversible and final.
If you received an unexpected NFT airdrop
Scammers often use airdrops to lure users into connecting to malicious websites. These websites may closely resemble legitimate NFT projects or apps, making it hard to spot the difference.
Before clicking any links, verify both the airdrop and the website URL with the project’s official community. Always ask questions in public forums—like Discord channels or Twitter threads—where responses can be vetted by others. Avoid direct messages (DMs), as scammers often impersonate team members.
Watch out for red flags in NFT descriptions, including keywords such as:
Free, Gift, Limited, Offer, Invitation, Giveaway, Official, Congrats, Celebration giveaways, Mystery box, Rewards, Upgrade
If you weren’t expecting the NFT, don’t click the link.
If you see an unknown NFT in your wallet
If you find an unfamiliar NFT in your wallet, you can use the burn feature (Solana only) to permanently remove it. This also returns a small amount of SOL to your wallet.
Note: NFTs verified by Magic Eden can't be burned. This prevents accidental deletion of legitimate collections.
Unverified collections are NFTs that haven’t been verified by Magic Eden. While not all unverified NFTs are scams, lack of verification is one indicator that an NFT may be malicious. EVM-based NFTs don’t support burning at this time.
If an NFT isn't showing up
If you’ve received or purchased an NFT but it’s not appearing in your wallet, it may have been flagged as spam—especially if it contains suspicious links in the description. To learn more, see Why doesn’t my NFT or NFT collection show up in Phantom?
