    One way to determine who sent you a cryptocurrency airdrop is to check the transaction details on the blockchain. Each transaction on the blockchain is recorded and can be viewed by anyone. You can use a blockchain explorer like Etherscan for Ethereum or Blockchair for Bitcoin to search for the transaction associated with the airdrop. By looking at the transaction details, you can find the sender's address and trace it back to the source.

    Another method is to check your wallet's transaction history. Most cryptocurrency wallets have a transaction history feature that allows you to view all the transactions you have received. By checking the transaction history, you can find the specific transaction related to the airdrop and see the sender's address.

    If you received the airdrop through BYDFi, you can contact their support team for assistance. They have a dedicated team that can help you identify the sender and provide you with any necessary information. Simply reach out to their support and provide them with the details of the airdrop transaction.

    You can also try reaching out to the project or organization behind the airdrop. Many airdrops are conducted by cryptocurrency projects or organizations as a way to promote their tokens. They may have a website or social media presence where you can contact them and inquire about the sender of the airdrop.

    In some cases, the sender of the airdrop may include a message or note along with the transaction. Check the transaction details or your wallet's interface to see if there is any additional information provided by the sender. This could give you clues about the sender's identity.

    If you are unable to determine the sender of the airdrop using the above methods, it is possible that the sender chose to remain anonymous. Cryptocurrency transactions can be pseudonymous, meaning that the sender's identity is not directly linked to their wallet address. In such cases, it may be difficult or impossible to identify the sender.

    Remember to exercise caution when dealing with cryptocurrency airdrops. Scammers may use airdrops as a way to trick people into revealing their private keys or personal information. Always verify the legitimacy of the airdrop and the sender before taking any further actions.
