Dead tokens and dust: what to do with them
Where dust comes from
Every token launch that airdrops 1% to early traders, every fair-launch you bought and forgot, every scam airdrop hoping you'll click a fake claim site — they all leave ERC-20s in your wallet. After a season of trading, most wallets hold dozens of them.
Sell, burn, or ignore?
Tokens still on a live bonding curve can usually be sold back for their quote asset — real value. Tokens whose curve is gone or payout is under gas cost are effectively dead: worth nothing, but still cluttering your wallet and inviting phishing. Burning sends them to an unrecoverable address and cleans your holdings for good.
Why cleaning matters
Beyond tidiness: scam tokens often carry fake 'claim' websites hoping you connect and sign something malicious. Fewer junk tokens means fewer attack surfaces — and a portfolio that shows what you actually hold.
Doing it safely
ClaimYourETH separates sellable curve positions from dead dust, never pre-selects anything for burning, and shows every step before you sign. What you pick is exactly what moves — nothing else.
