I’m a developer who’s been messing around with blockchain stuff for a while, and something that’s always bugged me is “dust” – the tiny leftover amounts from transactions that just kinda get stuck in your wallet, too small to transact with.
I was thinking, wouldn’t it be cool if there was a way to pool all that dust together and actually get some value out of it? So, I started tinkering with the idea of a dedicated blockchain just for dust transfers.
The general gist:
- You send your dust from different blockchains to this new chain.
- The chain collects and combines all the tiny amounts.
- Once there’s enough, it gets converted back into usable crypto and distributed to everyone who contributed, minus a small fee to keep things running.
Potential upsides as I see it:
- No more wasted dust – get back some of that value!
- Could be more efficient than tons of micro-transactions.
- Maybe even a bit greener, since we’re optimizing those tiny transfers.
I’m curious what you all think:
- Is this something you’d actually use?
- Any features that would make it a no-brainer for you?
- Any red flags or potential issues I’m overlooking?
- Just general thoughts and feedback are welcome too!
I’m still in the early stages of thinking this through, so any input into this thought exercise would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
