Solana Scam Tokens and Spam Airdrops

Spam tokens on Solana often try to look useful, urgent, or valuable. The safest response is to avoid links, review wallet prompts, and remove unwanted assets only through trusted wallet-approved actions.

Common warning signs

Suspicious tokens may use names that imitate known projects, promise rewards, include external claim links, or appear suddenly after public wallet activity. Airdrop readiness scores should be treated as signals, not guarantees.

Avoid metadata traps

Do not open claim URLs or connect your wallet from token descriptions. A token balance alone cannot steal funds, but a malicious site or approval prompt can create risk.

Review authority signals

Delegates, close authority, and account ownership details matter. If a token account shows permissions you do not recognize, review it manually before taking action.

Clean without giving custody

BurnerSOL does not ask for seed phrases or private keys. Cleanup happens through transactions prepared in the app and approved in your wallet.

Keep records simple

After cleanup, keep a short note of what was removed and which accounts were closed. This helps if you later audit wallet activity or tax records.
