How to Find Forgotten Tokens in a Wallet on Sui
A practical checklist for discovering forgotten balances across the networks you have used.
Why this matters on Sui
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.
Sui uses an object-centric model that differs from the account and token conventions of EVM networks.
Sui 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 Sui after confirming they are supported.
Sui: what to pay attention to
- Assets and tokens: Verify the network-specific asset and object details rather than applying EVM assumptions.
- Costs: Consider network transaction costs and route-specific costs when evaluating small balances.
- Security: Review transaction effects carefully and use trusted wallet interfaces.
A Sui checklist for this topic

- Compare each small balance on Sui with the full cost of moving it before deciding to consolidate.
- Keep a simple record of what you reviewed on Sui, 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 Sui.
