Avoid fake airdrop guarantees by recognizing that no legitimate project can promise a specific reward before a snapshot. Be extremely wary of any site requiring an upfront payment or deposit to "secure" an airdrop. Never connect your wallet to sites advertised in spammy DMs or unverified social media comments. Legitimate airdrops are announced through official channels and never require you to send crypto first. If an offer seems too good to be true, it is a scam.

Industry estimates suggest 60-80% of potential slashing losses currently lack insurance coverage. This protection gap stems from capacity constraints (40%), premium sensitivity (30%), and coverage limitations (30%). Large institutional operators tend to secure more coverage than smaller validators. The uninsured exposure represents significant systemic risk, particularly for newer AVS implementations with untested slashing conditions.

What percentage of slashing losses remain uninsured? In the early stages of the ecosystem, the percentage of uninsured slashing losses is likely very high, potentially exceeding 80-90%. This is due to limited insurance product availability, low awareness, and operators opting to "self-insure" by bearing the risk themselves in exchange for higher net rewards. As the market matures, this percentage will decrease, but it is unlikely to reach zero. A significant portion of losses will always remain uninsured because: 1) The cost of insurance for the riskiest operators and AVSes may be prohibitive, 2) Some operators may be confident in their own risk mitigation, and 3) Coverage caps mean that even insured operators bear a portion of large losses. The uninsured percentage is a key metric of market maturity and risk appetite.
