Understanding Your Quote

Before you sweep, DustSweep shows exactly what you should expect: the route for every token, the total estimated output, the fee, and the gas estimate. This page explains each number.

How the quote is built

When you confirm your selection, DustSweep:

  1. Re-checks your live balances — if a balance changed since the scan, that token is flagged instead of mis-quoted.
  2. Quotes every token across multiple DEXes in parallel — Uniswap V3, Uniswap V4, Aerodrome (classic + Slipstream), PancakeSwap V3, BaseSwap, and an optional aggregator source.
  3. Picks the best route per token — the venue returning the highest output wins; the chosen DEX is shown next to each token.
  4. Applies your slippage tolerance to set a minimum acceptable output per token (default 0.5%).
  5. Calculates totals — gross estimated output, the 2% protocol fee, net output, USD values, and an estimated gas cost.

Field Meaning
Route per token Which DEX this token will trade through, and its estimated output.
Total estimated output Sum of all per-token estimates, before fees.
Protocol fee 2% of the output (on-chain cap: 3%). See Fees.
Net estimated output What is expected to reach your wallet.
Gas estimate Approximate Base network cost — typically cents.
Skipped tokens Tokens that could not be quoted, each with a reason.

Quote validity

  • A quote is valid for 30 minutes. After that the sweep contract itself rejects it, and the app asks you to refresh.
  • Estimates are estimates: final amounts depend on market movement between quoting and execution. Your protection is the slippage floor — see Slippage & Price Impact.
  • If any token's route has a price impact above 5%, DustSweep asks for explicit confirmation before proceeding.

User Safety Note The minimum output you are protected by is set from this quote. If you walk away and come back later, refresh the quote rather than executing a stale one — markets move, and a fresh quote keeps your protection tight.

FAQ

Why is each token routed separately instead of through one aggregator? Dust tokens live in very different pools. Quoting each token across all venues independently consistently finds better routes for long-tail assets.

Why did the total change when I re-quoted? Prices moved, or a different DEX now offers the best route. Both are normal.

What does "No route available" mean on the Sweep button? None of the selected tokens could be quoted right now. Check the skipped-token reasons.
