Dust Orders

Dust orders refer to very small, often negligible, amounts of cryptocurrency left over in a wallet or account after a trade. These amounts are typically too small to be traded or withdrawn due to minimum lot size constraints or high network transaction fees.

Over time, these small balances can accumulate across multiple assets, effectively becoming unusable capital. Many exchanges offer features to convert these dust balances into the exchange's native utility token to clean up user accounts.

Managing dust is a common challenge for active traders who frequently interact with various tokens. It highlights the importance of understanding lot size constraints to avoid creating these stranded assets.
