# Quick Start: Your First Sweep

# Quick Start: Your First Sweep

Sweep your wallet dust into ETH, USDC, WETH, or USDT in a few minutes. This page walks through one complete sweep from start to finish.

## Before you start

* A wallet that supports Base (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, OKX, Rabby, Trust, and most others).
* A small amount of ETH on Base for gas (a sweep usually costs only a few cents).
* For your very first sweep, start small — sweep a couple of low-value tokens to get familiar with the flow.

## Step by step

1. **Open DustSweep.** Go to [https://app.dustswap.wtf/dustsweep](https://app.dustswap.wtf/dustsweep). Always check the URL before connecting.

2. **Connect your wallet.** Pick your wallet in the connection dialog. DustSweep works on Base — it will prompt a network switch if needed. See [Connecting Your Wallet](connecting-your-wallet.md).

3. **Wait for the balance scan.** DustSweep automatically finds every non-zero token balance in your wallet. You will see progress messages like "Finding Base balances…" and "Checking prices and sweep routes…". This usually takes a few seconds.

4. **Select tokens to sweep.** Tick the tokens you want to convert, use **Select all**, or enable auto-mode to select everything at or below a USD value you choose. You can sweep up to 50 tokens at once.

5. **Choose your output token.** ETH is the default; USDC, WETH, and USDT are also available. See [Choosing an Output Token](choosing-an-output-token.md).

6. **Review the quote.** DustSweep shows the route for each token, the total estimated output, the 2% protocol fee, and an estimated gas cost. Quotes are valid for 30 minutes. See [Understanding Your Quote](understanding-your-quote.md).

7. **Press Sweep and confirm in your wallet.** What you see next depends on your wallet:

   * **Batching wallets** (e.g. Coinbase Wallet / Base Account, OKX): typically **one** confirmation for everything. Stepper: `Confirm batch → Done`.
   * **Most other wallets**: a gas-free signature plus one transaction — and, the first time a token is involved, a short approval setup. Stepper: `Setup → Sign → Sweep → Done` (or `Sign → Sweep → Done` if already set up).

   See [What the Wallet Prompts Mean](wallet-prompts.md) before confirming anything you do not recognize.

8. **Done.** A success screen shows what was swept, what you received, the fee, and a BaseScan link. Tokens whose swap failed are automatically refunded to your wallet in the same transaction. See [After the Sweep](after-the-sweep.md).

> **User Safety Note**
> Read every wallet prompt. DustSweep only requests exact-amount approvals and a signature that lists the exact tokens, amounts, and a 30-minute expiry. Reject any prompt that asks for an unlimited amount to an address you do not recognize.

## FAQ

**How long does a sweep take?**
The scan takes seconds; the transaction confirms at normal Base speed (typically a few seconds).

**Some of my tokens are not selectable. Why?**
They may have no liquidity, no reliable price, a value below \$0.01, or were flagged as suspicious. See [Why Some Tokens Can't Be Swept](why-some-tokens-cant-be-swept.md).

**Do I need to do anything if a token fails mid-sweep?**
No. Failed tokens are refunded automatically inside the same transaction.
