What the Wallet Prompts Mean

Every prompt DustSweep triggers in your wallet has a specific, predictable shape. This page is your checklist: what each prompt is, what it should contain, and when to reject.

The four prompt types

1. Network switch

"Switch to Base?" — Read-only network change. Safe to approve. DustSweep operates on Base only.

2. Token approval

"Allow [DustSweep router / Permit2] to spend X TOKEN?"

What a legitimate DustSweep approval looks like:

  • Amount: the exact amount being swept — never "unlimited", never a strange round number you didn't select.
  • Spender: the DustSweep router or the canonical Permit2 contract (0x000000000022D473030F116dDEE9F6B43aC78BA3).
  • Some tokens (e.g. USDT-style) require a reset-to-zero approval first — you may see two prompts for one token. That is normal.

A correct exact-amount approval prompt, with amount and spender annotated.

3. Signature request (gas-free)

"Sign typed data: PermitBatchWitnessTransferFrom"

What it must contain:

  • Origin contract: Permit2.
  • A list of exactly the tokens and amounts you selected.
  • The sweep contract as spender.
  • A deadline ~30 minutes ahead.

This message authorizes one specific sweep and nothing else. Details: What You Sign and Why It's Safe.

4. Transaction / batch confirmation

"Confirm transaction" or "Confirm batch of N actions"

  • Target: the DustSweep router contract.
  • On batching wallets, the bundle = exact-amount approvals + the sweep call.
  • Your wallet may also show its own one-time account upgrade prompt (EIP-7702) before the first batch — that prompt is generated and branded by your wallet itself. See One-Click Sweeps.

Quick reject checklist

Reject and stop if any prompt shows:

  • ❌ An unlimited approval amount (DustSweep never asks for this).
  • ❌ A spender/target address that is neither the DustSweep router nor Permit2.
  • ❌ Tokens or amounts you did not select.
  • ❌ A signature with no deadline, or from a contract other than Permit2.
  • ❌ Any prompt on a domain other than app.dustswap.wtf.
  • ❌ eth_sign / raw hex "blind signing" requests — DustSweep never uses these.

User Safety Note Rejecting is always free and always safe. If a prompt confuses you, reject it, re-read this page, and try again. DustSweep's stepper (Setup → Sign → Sweep, etc.) tells you exactly how many prompts to expect — anything beyond that count deserves suspicion.

FAQ

My wallet shows a red/orange warning on the signature. Is that bad? Many wallets flag all typed-data requests generically. Judge the content, not the color: exact tokens, exact amounts, Permit2 origin, 30-minute deadline.

Why two prompts for one token approval? Some tokens require resetting an existing allowance to zero before setting a new one. DustSweep handles this automatically.

The wallet says it cannot estimate gas. Common on complex batches in some wallets. DustSweep supplies explicit gas where needed or falls back to simpler steps; if it persists, retry or reduce the token count.
