Dust

In cryptocurrency, "dust" refers to very small amounts of coins or tokens remaining in a wallet after a transaction. These amounts are often so minimal that they cannot be effectively spent or traded, as transaction fees would exceed their value. Over time, dust can accumulate, particularly for active traders. Some exchanges offer a "convert dust" feature, allowing users to consolidate these small balances into a more useful form. However, dust can also be exploited in dusting attacks, where malicious actors send tiny amounts to multiple addresses to track their activity.

• Tiny, untradeable amounts of cryptocurrency left after transactions.
• Too small to be used due to transaction fees.
• Can accumulate in wallets over time.
