There’s no official website, whitepaper, or verified social media account for Galaxy Adventure Chest NFTs. That’s not a typo - you read that right. As of February 2026, no credible source has confirmed the existence of a project called "Galaxy Adventure" that’s running an NFT airdrop. Yet, hundreds of people are joining Telegram groups, Discord servers, and Twitter threads claiming they’re about to receive free NFT chests. Some even say they’ve already been "selected" and just need to pay a small gas fee to claim them.
This isn’t the first time a fake NFT airdrop has gone viral. In late 2024, a similar scam used the name "Galaxy Wallet" to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. Once connected, the scammers drained wallets of ETH and NFTs. The pattern is always the same: urgency, exclusivity, and a hidden cost. If someone tells you the airdrop is "free," but you need to pay to unlock it, it’s not free. It’s a trap.
Who is Galaxy Adventure?
The name "Galaxy Adventure" sounds like it could be a blockchain game - maybe something like Axie Infinity or Star Atlas. But there’s no record of a team, a token, or a game called Galaxy Adventure in any major blockchain database. Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, and Base block explorers show zero smart contracts tied to this name. No GitHub repo. No LinkedIn profiles for the founders. No press releases from CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, or Decrypt.
Meanwhile, there’s a company called Galaxy Digital a New York-based financial services firm that works with institutional crypto clients. They launched an NFT collection with TIMEPieces in 2022, but it had nothing to do with adventure, chests, or gaming. There’s also Galaxy a venture capital firm that has invested in blockchain startups like Gelato and pSTAKE. Neither of these has any connection to the "Galaxy Adventure Chest NFTs" you’re seeing online.
What’s really happening?
What you’re seeing is a classic social engineering attack. Scammers use hype from real projects - like the recent Monad airdrop or the PENGU token surge - to create fake copies. They’ll post screenshots of "confirmed airdrops," fake Twitter blue checks, and even deepfake videos of "team members" announcing the launch. They’ll say: "Only 10,000 chests available. Claim yours before the whitelist closes."
Then comes the hook: "To claim your chest, connect your wallet and pay 0.02 ETH to cover network fees." That’s not a fee. That’s a withdrawal request. Once you approve that transaction, they’ll drain your wallet. Not just ETH - your Bored Apes, your CryptoPunks, your rare NFTs. All gone.
One victim in Toronto lost $87,000 in NFTs after falling for this exact scam in January 2026. He thought he was getting a "Legendary Galactic Chest" worth $5,000. He got nothing. His wallet was wiped clean.
How to spot a fake NFT airdrop
- No official website? If the project has no website, or the domain was registered yesterday, walk away.
- No Twitter/X account with verification? Real projects have blue checks, not green checkmarks bought from shady services.
- Asking for wallet connection? Legit airdrops use third-party claim portals like Zerion or Dune. They don’t ask you to connect your wallet to an unknown site.
- Urgency? "Only 2 hours left!" is a red flag. Real projects give you days or weeks to claim.
- Payment required? If you need to pay anything - ETH, SOL, even gas fees - it’s not an airdrop. It’s a robbery.
What should you do instead?
If you’re interested in NFT airdrops, stick to known projects. Look at recent airdrops from verified teams:
- Monad a Layer 1 blockchain that airdropped tokens to early users in late 2025
- Linea an Ethereum Layer 2 that rewarded users who interacted with its testnet
- MagicEden a Solana NFT marketplace that gave out tokens to active traders in 2024
Check their official blogs. Follow their verified Twitter accounts. Join their Discord servers - but never connect your wallet unless you’re 100% sure of the URL.
Why do these scams work?
Because they tap into hope. People believe they’re one click away from a life-changing NFT. They see others "claiming" chests and think, "If I don’t act now, I’ll miss out."
The truth? There’s no Galaxy Adventure Chest NFT. Not because it’s hidden. Not because it’s too big to announce. But because it doesn’t exist. The entire thing is a ghost project built on lies.
Don’t be the next person to lose everything because you believed a Discord message from someone named "CaptainGalaxy77."

LMAO another 'free NFT chest' scam. I swear, people are *so* gullible. You connect your wallet to some sketchy link, pay 0.02 ETH, and boom-you're left with a blank wallet and a new life lesson. I'm just waiting for the next one called 'Galactic Unicorn PogChamp NFTs' that 'only drops for people who tweet in Klingon.' ðŸ˜

The fact that this even needs to be explained is exhausting. People are literally handing over their life savings because they saw a Discord DM that said 'u r selected.' No one teaches basic crypto hygiene anymore. Just... stop. Go outside. Pet a dog.
