# Why Some Tokens Can't Be Swept

# 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](hidden-and-suspicious-tokens.md). |
| `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 as `RouteSkipped` and `InputRefunded` events.

    F --> G{Swap succeeds on-chain?}
    G -- yes --> L[Converted to output token]
    G -- no --> M[Refunded automatically]
```

> **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.

## FAQ

**A token shows a price on the scan but gets skipped at quoting. Why?**
A price estimate can exist while actual sellable liquidity does not — the quote stage checks real routes with your real amount.

**Will an unsweepable token ever become sweepable?**
Yes, if it gains liquidity and reliable pricing. Re-scan any time.

**Can I force-include a hidden token?**
Tokens without a price or below the threshold cannot be quoted meaningfully, so they cannot be force-included.
