    To block someone from sending you cryptocurrency through airdrop, you can adjust your device's settings to disable airdrop or restrict it to contacts only. On an iPhone, go to Settings > General > AirDrop and select 'Receiving Off' or 'Contacts Only'. On an Android device, go to Settings > Connections > More Connection Settings > Nearby Share and disable it. This will prevent anyone from sending you cryptocurrency through airdrop.

    If you're using a digital wallet, you can also check if it has a feature to block airdrop transfers. Some wallets allow you to customize your privacy settings and block airdrop transfers from unknown senders. Make sure to enable this feature to prevent unwanted cryptocurrency from being sent to you.
