# The Problem

The crypto ecosystem has grown exponentially, but it hasn’t solved one persistent issue: the accumulation of small, microcap, or outdated tokens that sit idle in wallets. These "dust" tokens, often the byproduct of trading or airdrops, hold little to no liquidity and are effectively useless. With transaction fees often exceeding their value, transferring them to centralized exchanges (CEXs) to liquidate is impractical, leaving users stuck with tokens that serve no purpose.

Adding to the challenge, the adoption of crypto for direct purchases is still limited. Few online stores accept a wide range of cryptocurrencies as payment, leaving users unable to translate their holdings into real-world value. As a result, crypto users are left with portfolios cluttered with untradeable and unusable assets, effectively locking up value that could otherwise be leveraged.

This problem not only wastes potential but also contributes to frustration among crypto users, who seek efficient ways to maximize the utility of their assets, no matter how small or fragmented.
