The XCM Dust Converter is a handy tool that helps you turn all your small crypto balances—often called “dust”—into XCM tokens. This makes it easy to tidy up your portfolio while putting even tiny amounts to work. Over time, these small conversions can add up, giving your wallet more value than leaving dust unused.

✨ What is “Dust”?

In crypto, dust refers to tiny amounts of coins or tokens left over from previous transactions. These amounts are usually too small to trade or cover transaction fees, meaning they sit idle in your wallet. With the XCM Dust Converter, even these small fragments can become part of your investment.
