There’s no such thing as a POTS airdrop by Moonpot - at least not one that’s real, verified, or officially announced.
If you’ve seen a post on Twitter, Telegram, or Reddit saying you can claim free POTS tokens from Moonpot, stop. Right now. That post is almost certainly a scam. The cryptocurrency space is flooded with fake airdrop schemes, and POTS is one of the most commonly abused names right now because of its low price and low visibility.
Moonpot (POTS) is a real token. It trades on a few decentralized exchanges like PancakeSwap, and its contract address is 0x3fcca8648651e5b974dd6d3e50f61567779772a8 on Binance Smart Chain. But here’s the catch: the project hasn’t run a single public airdrop since its launch. Not in 2023. Not in 2024. Not in 2025. And there’s zero official documentation, blog post, or social media announcement from the Moonpot team confirming any upcoming giveaway.
Why does this matter? Because scammers know people are desperate for free crypto. They see POTS trading at around $0.0056 and think, "That’s cheap - if I give people free tokens, they’ll trust me." So they create fake websites that look like the real Moonpot site. They post screenshots of "airdrop claim portals." They even use fake Twitter accounts pretending to be Moonpot moderators. All to steal your private keys, your wallet passwords, or your Ethereum/BSC deposits.
Here’s how to spot a fake POTS airdrop:
- They ask you to connect your wallet first. Real airdrops don’t need you to connect your wallet to claim tokens. If you’re asked to sign a transaction before receiving anything, it’s a trap.
- They require you to send crypto to get more. "Send 0.1 BNB to unlock your 10,000 POTS" - that’s not an airdrop. That’s theft.
- The website has poor design or broken links. Legit projects invest in clean, professional sites. Fake ones are rushed, full of typos, and often copied from other projects.
- No official source links to it. Check Moonpot’s official website, their verified Twitter/X account, or their Discord. If the airdrop isn’t listed there, it doesn’t exist.
What’s the real story behind POTS? The token was launched as a privacy-focused asset on BSC, claiming to offer anonymous transactions. But in practice, it never gained traction. Its 24-hour trading volume hovers around $80. That’s less than what a single Bitcoin transaction costs. Its market cap is below $500,000. It’s ranked #15,878 by market cap on LiveCoinWatch. There are no major exchanges listing it. No institutional interest. No development updates. No roadmap. Just a token with a dead chart and zero community activity.
Compare that to real airdrops. Projects like Uniswap, Arbitrum, or zkSync ran massive, well-documented token distributions. They announced dates, eligibility rules, snapshot times, and claim deadlines. They used official blogs and verified social channels. They even published smart contract addresses for token claims. Moonpot has done none of that.
Some people claim they "got POTS from an airdrop" - but that’s likely because they already owned the token and mistook a price pump for a giveaway. Or worse, they were tricked into buying POTS from a scammer who told them they’d get more tokens later. That’s called a "pump and dump" scheme. The scammers buy cheap POTS, hype it up with fake airdrop rumors, and then sell off their holdings when new buyers jump in.
There’s also no historical record of a past POTS airdrop. Check CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, or even the Wayback Machine. You won’t find a single announcement. No snapshot dates. No distribution logs. No wallet addresses that received tokens. If Moonpot had ever done an airdrop, it would be documented. It’s not.
So what should you do if you’re interested in Moonpot? Just avoid it. Seriously. The token has no utility, no team activity, and no community. Even if it did have an airdrop, it wouldn’t be worth your time. The chances of it ever becoming valuable are near zero. You’re better off investing in projects with real development, transparent teams, and active users.
And if you’re looking for legitimate airdrops, stick to well-known ecosystems: Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Solana. Watch for official announcements from projects like LayerZero, Pendle, or Synthetix. Join their official Discord servers. Follow their Twitter/X accounts. Read their blogs. Don’t trust random links. Don’t click on "claim now" buttons. And never, ever send crypto to claim free tokens.
Here’s the bottom line: POTS airdrop? Doesn’t exist. Moonpot? A dead project with no future. If you see someone pushing it - walk away. Your wallet will thank you.

Oh wow, so you’re telling me the guy who posted that "claim now" link on Reddit with the fake Moonpot logo is just a phishing bot? No way. I already signed the transaction. Wait. Wait. Oh god. I think I just sent 0.5 BNB to a contract that says "POTS_AIRDROP_V2". I’m so dumb. Someone help.
Mike Reynolds
Same. I thought I was being smart-checked the contract address, saw it matched the one on CoinGecko, clicked "connect wallet"... then got hit with a second approval for unlimited spending. Now I’m watching my BNB drain like a leaky faucet. Never again.

There’s a deeper truth here: the fact that people still fall for this says more about the desperation for easy wealth than the sophistication of the scam. We’ve built a culture where free crypto is a right, not a privilege-and scammers are just exploiting that psychological itch. We don’t need more warnings. We need to rewire our expectations.

Oh honey, this isn’t a scam-it’s a *performance art piece* by a bored crypto degens trying to see how many people will hand over their keys like it’s a birthday present. The real joke? The POTS token’s chart looks like a toddler’s scribble after a sugar crash. Even the scammers are bored of it.

Rick Hengehold
Don’t connect wallets. Don’t send crypto. Don’t trust links. Done.

my cousin in hyderabad got this airdrop too-said he got 200k pots and now he’s buying a new phone. i told him it’s fake but he says the website looks legit. he’s got the screenshot with the "claim successful" pop-up. i swear, people will believe anything if it says "free".
Jackson Storm
check the moonpot discord-no airdrop announcements. check their twitter-no pinned posts. check their website-no claim page. check the contract on bscscan-no mint function. zero activity. zero proof. zero chance. if you’re still thinking about clicking, just walk away. your future self will high-five you.

India is full of these scams. People think crypto is magic. They don’t even know what blockchain is. Just give them free tokens and they think they won the lottery. Sad.

So you’re telling me the entire POTS ecosystem is a ghost town with a few zombies posting "claim now" links? I’m impressed. That’s not a scam-that’s a funeral with a line for free coffins.
Michelle Slayden
It is, indeed, a regrettable manifestation of the commodification of trust in decentralized digital environments. The absence of verifiable provenance in token distribution protocols undermines the foundational tenets of transparency upon which blockchain ethos purports to rest.

man i used to think i was smart for joining crypto… then i saw how many people are still falling for this. i just lost $400 to a fake POTS airdrop last week. i’m still mad. but hey, at least i learned the hard way. don’t be me.
Vernon Hughes
Real airdrops don’t need your private key. That’s it. End of story.
Alison Hall
Just delete the app. Close the tab. Breathe. You’re safer already.

i thought i got pots for free but then my wallet got hacked 😭

This is what happens when you let the uneducated masses gamble with financial systems they don’t comprehend. The West’s obsession with "free money" has birthed a parasitic economy. The POTS scam is merely a symptom. The disease is the belief that wealth can be claimed, not earned.
