What is Crypto Dust?
Crypto Dust is a byproduct of cryptocurrency trades and transactions. Essentially, it refers to a trace amount of cryptocurrency that's left over after trades or transactions are complete. Typically, it has negligible monetary value and can even be lower than the minimum trading amount. This can prevent it from being traded on the Crypto.com Exchange.
