DUSTSeven days. One pile. Everyone shares.
Dust is the crypto everyone forgot — balances too small to trade. The Great Sweep turns that dead weight into the fairest distribution in meme-coin history: the whole supply, split among the people who showed up.
Status: dates TBA. We're rehearsing the full sweep on Solana devnet first — mechanics, caps, the Census, the payout script. No countdown until there's a real date, because fake urgency is a dark pattern and we don't do those.
Exactly how it works
- The sweep opens. A sweep window of exactly 7 days is announced. One public sweep address is published. That's the only address — anything else claiming to be the sweep is a scam.
- You sweep your dust. Send dust — any balance under ~$5 that's not worth moving on its own — to the sweep address from any wallet you control. One wallet, one share: the per-wallet cap means splitting dust across 50 wallets buys you nothing extra.
- The Census runs. The Dust Census tracks every sweep live: total dust piled, sweeper count, biggest pile, funniest dust. All from on-chain data. The chain is the receipt.
- The sweep closes. At the deadline the address stops counting. Late sends are still visible on-chain but earn nothing — the cutoff is the cutoff.
- Pro-rata distribution. Every sweeper's capped dust share becomes their share of the full 1B DUST supply, sent to the wallet they swept from. The distribution script and its inputs are published so anyone can re-run the math.
- Liquidity, disclosed. After distribution, the founder seeds a small liquidity pool (~$50) and publishes the transaction. No hidden buys, no market-making games. From there, it's a pure meme.
Why caps make it fair
Without a cap, one whale could dump $4,000 of "dust" and eat the whole supply. The per-wallet cap fixes that: only the first $X of each wallet's dust counts toward its share. (The exact cap is set before the sweep opens and published with the rules.)
your_DUST = your_share × 1,000,000,000
Worked example (cap = $5): you sweep $3.40 of dead tokens, your friend sweeps $47. The pile's capped total is $8.40. Your share = 3.40/8.40 ≈ 40.5% → ~405M DUST. Your friend's $47 counts as $5 → 59.5% → ~595M DUST. Big money gets no advantage beyond the cap. That's the point.
What counts as dust?
Anything under ~$5 that you'd never bother moving: stranded tokens from old swaps, dead airdrops, leftover change. If moving it would cost more in fees than it's worth — that's dust, and that's exactly what the sweep wants.
What doesn't count?
Sending real money to game the pile. The cap makes that pointless, and the Census publishes every wallet's swept amount for the world to see. Don't trust us — the chain is the receipt.
Day eight and beyond
The red-team question we asked ourselves: "Day eight, what then?" A fair launch with no second act is a one-week story. So phase 2 is designed before phase 1 ships — a sustaining mechanic that keeps the community generating content long after the dust settles. Details are being finalized; the design will be published here before the sweep opens.
