In general, Exodus does not directly support airdrops. However, if the tokens are on a supported network, you might be able to add airdropped tokens as custom tokens in Exodus.

An airdrop is when a crypto project sends tokens to specific addresses on a blockchain. These tokens often promote a new project or reward users for holding certain assets.

Some airdrops are planned, where users register in advance or complete tasks to qualify. Others are unsolicited, meaning tokens are sent to your address without you signing up. This is common in crypto and doesn’t necessarily mean anything is wrong.

Airdrop eligibility is sometimes based on a snapshot of a specific asset's balance at a specific time. Your address may qualify for an airdrop if your wallet holds the required asset during the snapshot.

Before participating in an airdrop, be sure to research the project. Look for official documentation, check the developer’s credibility, and be cautious of projects that seem rushed or lack transparency. Some airdrops are used in scams.

In general, Exodus does not support airdropped tokens by default. This means if you receive airdropped tokens, they will not automatically appear in your Exodus wallet.

If the airdropped token is on a supported network, you may be able to add it as a custom token in Exodus. Once added, you can view, send, and receive the token like any other asset. For more information, visit How do I add a custom token?

However, Exodus does not support adding custom tokens to every network. If you can't add the airdropped token as a custom token, it will still be at your address, but you won’t be able to interact with it in Exodus.

To check if you received an unsupported airdrop, you can search for your address on the network's block explorer. If you hold airdropped tokens, it's possible to access them by importing your private key into a trusted third-party platform that supports it.

For more on how to do this safely, visit: How do I stay safe when accessing unsupported airdrops?

If you're participating in an airdrop that Exodus doesn't support, they won't appear in your Exodus wallet. To access them, you can use a trusted third-party wallet.

Whenever possible, use a third-party wallet that supports importing individual private keys. This reduces risk by exposing only the asset you’re trying to claim. To find your private keys in Exodus, visit: How do I view my private keys?

If the wallet doesn’t support importing private keys, you may need to import your 12-word secret key. Please know that this carries greater risk.

Your private keys and secret key give full access to your funds. Never share them, and only use wallets you completely trust. If you choose to import them into another wallet, you do so at your own risk.

If possible, use third-party wallets that are officially recommended in the network’s documentation. For more on this, visit: What are some networks in Exodus that often receive airdrops?

If the third-party wallet isn't officially recommended, follow these safety pointers:

If you’d rather not use a third-party wallet, that’s completely fine. You remain in full control of your crypto in Exodus. If the airdropped tokens gain value or become supported in the future, you can always access them later.

While airdrops can be a way to receive free tokens, some can be used in scams. Below are common types of airdrop scams and tips on how to stay safe.

Unsolicited airdrops (dust attacks): Scammers send tiny amounts of tokens to many wallet addresses, hoping you'll interact with them. The scammers might attach malicious links to the transaction details, leading you to a phishing site to steal your funds.
​

To help protect yourself:

Fake airdrop sites: Scammers create fake websites resembling legitimate airdrop portals. They may promise large rewards to trick you into a) entering your 12-word secret key, b) connecting your wallet and signing a malicious transaction, or c) paying a fake activation fee, to try to steal your funds.
