How to Find Forgotten Tokens in a Wallet on Starknet

A practical checklist for discovering forgotten balances across the networks you have used.

Why this matters on Starknet

Forgotten balances are often found by reviewing every network an address has used, not just the wallet's currently selected chain. Historical activity can reveal assets that a portfolio view does not emphasize.

Starknet uses its own account and smart-contract environment, which differs from standard EVM networks.

Starknet does not follow standard EVM conventions. Address formats, token identifiers and approval mechanics differ, so EVM-oriented checklists and tools should only be applied to Starknet after confirming they are supported.

Starknet: what to pay attention to

  • Assets and tokens: Verify Starknet-specific asset and account details.
  • Costs: Check the current network cost and route mechanics before moving small balances.
  • Security: Do not assume EVM contract and wallet conventions apply directly.

A Starknet checklist for this topic

  • Keep a simple record of what you reviewed on Starknet, so the next checkup starts from a known state.
  • Never enter a seed phrase or private key into a scanning or recovery site, including for Starknet.
  • Leave a balance alone when the cost of moving it from Starknet exceeds what you would receive.
  • Confirm the wallet address and that you are viewing Starknet before interpreting any balance.
The goal of a wallet cleanup is not to move everything. It is to make informed decisions about what is safe and economical to move.
