    Yes, there are a few steps you can take to stop someone from sending you cryptocurrency through airdrop without your consent. Firstly, you can disable airdrop receiving on your wallet or exchange platform. This will prevent any unsolicited tokens from being added to your account. Additionally, you can enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for your wallet or exchange account to add an extra layer of security. Lastly, be cautious when sharing your wallet address publicly and only provide it to trusted sources.

    Unfortunately, there is no foolproof way to completely stop someone from sending you cryptocurrency through airdrop without your consent. However, you can minimize the risk by being vigilant and taking certain precautions. Make sure to regularly check your wallet or exchange account for any unexpected tokens and report any unauthorized transactions immediately. It's also a good idea to keep your wallet software up to date and use a reputable wallet or exchange platform that has strong security measures in place.
