If you're new to the world of NFT and crypto airdrops, setting up your wallet correctly is the first and most important step. In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly what you need to do to become eligible for most upcoming airdrops — without risking your funds or missing opportunities.
👉 Don’t forget to follow us on X/Twitter @PxlVault for real-time airdrop alerts and NFT updates.
🪙 1. Choose the Right Wallet(s)
You'll want a non-custodial wallet you control — not an exchange wallet.
🧩 Recommended Wallets:
-
MetaMask – Great for Ethereum, Arbitrum, zkSync, Optimism
-
Rabby – Better gas estimation + multichain support
-
Argent X / Braavos – For Starknet airdrops
-
Phantom – If you’re doing Solana-based NFT drops

🔒 2. Secure Your Seed Phrase
Always write down your seed phrase on paper. Never share it, store it online, or screenshot it.
For extra safety:
-
Use a hardware wallet like Ledger for large balances
-
Use a fresh wallet for interacting with unknown dApps
⚡ 3. Fund With a Small Amount of ETH or SOL
To claim airdrops or interact with dApps, you’ll need a small amount of native token for gas:
-
ETH for Ethereum, zkSync, Optimism, Arbitrum
-
SOL for Solana
-
BNB for Binance Smart Chain
Start with $5–$20 worth to interact safely.
🌐 4. Interact with Airdrop-Friendly Protocols
Once your wallet is set up, use it to:
-
Bridge assets (e.g., via Orbiter, Layerswap)
-
Swap tokens (on SyncSwap, JediSwap, Uniswap)
-
Mint NFTs or complete quests
Doing these things early and consistently increases your chances.

🔁 5. Use Multiple Wallets (Optional, Advanced)
Want to boost your odds? Many users set up 2–5 wallets and repeat actions on each.
✅ Just make sure:
-
You don’t connect the same Twitter or Discord to all
-
Each wallet has its own consistent activity pattern
✅ Recap
Your checklist to prep for airdrops:
-
Set up a secure wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, etc.)
-
Back up your seed phrase
-
Fund with ETH/SOL for gas
-
Use bridges, swap, mint, or interact
-
Stay consistent
