The risk of "Dusting" (Small random deposits)

Imagine finding a tiny, unknown coin in your crypto wallet – looks harmless, right? 🧐 But this isn't free money; it's often a sneaky trick designed to expose you.
You know how sometimes you get a tiny, insignificant transaction in your bank account, like a refund for a few cents?
Well, in crypto, sometimes you get these super small, random deposits, too. This is called 'dusting'! It feels like someone leaving a minuscule, weird flyer on your car windshield - you might just brush it off.
But here’s the scary part: these aren't accidental, and they're not freebies.
The 'duster' wants to follow your wallet, linking it to your activity and possibly trying to figure out who you are! 🕵️‍♀️

Therefore, interacting with this 'dust' - like trying to send it or swap it - can accidentally give them more clues about your wallet.
It's like picking up that weird flyer and accidentally leaving your fingerprints all over it!
The biggest trap here is thinking it’s harmless or a mistake. The smart move? Ignore it completely. Just leave it there.
Now you know the secret behind those tiny, mysterious deposits and how to keep your crypto identity safe and sound! ✨
