Why Some Tokens Can’t Be Swept
Not every token in your wallet can be converted. This page lists every reason DustSweep may exclude or skip a token, what each one means, and what (if anything) you can do about it.Reasons shown during scanning
| Reason | Meaning | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
BELOW_THRESHOLD | The balance is worth less than $0.01. | Nothing needed — it is not economical to swap. |
UNKNOWN_PRICE | No reliable USD price found in market data. | Wait — prices appear once the token has active markets. |
SPAM_OR_DENYLISTED | Matched spam/scam heuristics. | Leave it alone. See Hidden & Suspicious Tokens. |
OUTPUT_ASSET | The token is one of the sweep output assets. | Choose a different output token, or swap it via the normal Swap page. |
Reasons shown during quoting
| Reason | Meaning | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
NO_LIQUIDITY | No DEX on Base offered a route for this token. | Nothing — without liquidity there is no honest way to sell it. |
QUOTE_FAILED | A quoting source errored for this token. | Retry; often temporary. |
BALANCE_CHANGED | Your live balance no longer matches the scanned amount. | Refresh balances and re-quote. |
NATIVE_WRAP_REQUIRED | Native ETH cannot be a sweep input. | Wrap ETH to WETH first if you really want to include it. |
Reasons during execution
On the current sweep contract, a token that fails during the sweep does not block the others: its swap is skipped on-chain and the full input amount is refunded to your wallet in the same transaction. You will see it reported on the success screen, and on BaseScan asRouteSkipped and InputRefunded events.
User Safety Note If a token has no liquidity and no price, be wary of any third-party site claiming it can “unlock” or “recover” its value — that is a common scam pattern. A token nobody will buy has no recoverable value.
