What is ‘Dust’?
‘Dust’ refers to a very small set of coins or tokens that are often neglected or ignored by users in cryptocurrency exchange. Bitcoin is divided into 100 million satoshis, which means that one satoshi is 0.00000000001 Bitcoin.
If the volume of bitcoin is less than a few hundred satoshis, it could be considered ‘dust’. These dust volumes are usually less than the fees required to trading between wallets.
When it comes to dusts, they are cryptocurrencies left over from the exchanges. Most exchanges have minimum trading requirements, which means that these small amounts cannot be traded.
However, Binance allows users to convert those coins into BNB. This is one of the ways to lower transaction fees on Binance that both new and old investors need to pay attention to.
Instructions on how to convert dust

Step 2: On the [Balances] tab, cick [Convert to BNB]. Here you can see if your coin is eligible to convert to BNB. The requirement for each dust is to have a value of less than 0.001BTC
