What is dust?
š¢Dust in cryptocurrencies is an amount of crypto so small that it wonāt even be enough to pay the transaction fee.
š¢Imagine that you have 1 cent left in your wallet. You wonāt be able to buy anything with it, but if you decide to exchange it at a bank for another currency or send it to a friend, the exchange fee will exceed the cost of the cent itself.
š¢This example describes the crypto industryās concept of ādustā well.
š¢Sometimes, a dusting distribution is used by scammers to commit a so-called ādust attack,ā which weāll cover soon.
