ARB Dust
Small ARB balances are often left behind after transactions or portfolio activity on Arbitrum. Learn how to evaluate the balance against gas and route costs.
Small ARB dust is worth moving only when its value minus fees and price impact is clearly positive and the token contract is the genuine one. Otherwise leave it where it is.
What Is ARB Dust?
A small ARB balance is not automatically worthless or dangerous. It may be the remainder of a swap, transfer, reward or older position. The first question is where the asset lives (Arbitrum) and whether the token is the one you intended to hold.
Before Moving a Small Balance
- Confirm the wallet address and the Arbitrum network.
- Verify the exact token contract or asset identifier instead of relying on the ticker or logo.
- Compare the balance value with gas, bridge, swap and other route costs.
- Check whether the asset is liquid and actually transferable.
- Never enter a seed phrase or private key into a scanner or cleanup tool.
