During active airdrop seasons, essential wallet security includes using a dedicated "airdrop hunter" wallet that is separate from your main funds. Never use a wallet holding significant assets. Employ a hardware wallet for this dedicated address if possible. Be hyper-vigilant about phishing sites; always verify URLs. Regularly check and revoke unnecessary token approvals using a tool like revoke.cash. Never share your seed phrase or sign vague, open-ended messages. Assume most "check your eligibility" sites are malicious.

In early ecosystem stages, the split is heavily skewed toward misconfiguration and operational error as the dominant cause of false positives. Consensus errors (bugs in the core protocol logic) are rarer because that code is the most heavily audited and simulated. Misconfiguration, however, is a distributed problem. Each operator is responsible for their own node setup, key management, and infrastructure. Common errors include incorrect genesis file usage, wrong software versions, firewall blocks, and validator key mismanagement. As the ecosystem matures and tooling standardizes (e.g., with bullet-proof deployment scripts and managed services), the rate of misconfiguration-based FPs should decrease, making the relative proportion of consensus-level software bugs—though still absolute rare—more significant within the remaining FP events.
