L2 Dust: Ethereum Rollups and Small Balances: Starknet Perspective
Why small balances build up across L2s and how to keep your portfolio organized.
Why this matters on Starknet
L2 dust is easy to accumulate because users frequently experiment with different rollups. Keeping a simple list of balances by chain makes later consolidation much easier.
Starknet is not an Ethereum Layer 2, but many wallets that use Starknet also hold assets on rollups. Keeping a per-network inventory helps you avoid treating them as one balance. Check the current network cost and route mechanics before moving small balances.
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
- Identify which token standard and address format Starknet actually uses before applying any guide.
- Verify the exact token identifier on Starknet instead of trusting a shared ticker.
- Confirm your wallet is connected to Starknet so balances are read from the right network.
- Research unfamiliar tokens on Starknet before you interact with them.
