this has happened to me too and because I'm new to the world of crypto, I don't understand why it can happen so often, apparently my friend said this is called a dust attack, be careful, don't click on hash transaction, ignore it as much as possible

Your friend is right, there are exactly 101 tokens in my wallet right now, and only 3 of them were intentionally bought, the other 98 are from dust attacks. This of course is a huge number and normally it doesn't happen this much, but I was around during the bull run period and I have participated in so many projects, probably at least a few dozen of them if you include all the bounties and the airdrops as well.

This meant that my wallet would be in plenty of places and that wouldn't really be a good idea for me to do because I just let everyone know my address but I did to participate. Obviously, in return everyone dust attacked that wallet, I am fine about it because I never click on any of them and never had any trouble.

All my wallets are filled with these transactions. After each transfer, I receive 2-3 transactions with 0.00000X TRX and I do not pay attention to it.
Always check your addresses before sending coins and do not copy anything from your transaction history.

Besides other plausible explanations over this thread, it can also be an Address Poisoning. The way Adress Poisoning works is it "poisons" your wallet with a similar-like address that might consist of the same 5 of the first or last address characters, it is designed that way because some user behaviour is using their wallet transaction history, as you said, to copy addresses.

IIRC, it is known since the last of 2022 and gained wide attention in early 2023. It also evolved from an extremely small amount to a completely zero-dollar transaction, which the smart contract somehow allows that kind of transaction.

About less than a month ago, my TRX wallet address randomly receives amounts smaller than one dollar, mostly (+0.000003 TRX - 0.000028TRX)? Does this happen to you? And what is the reason?
I thought it was a dust attack, but the frequency of receiving random values is an indication of something abnormal Huh

And I also had some growing tails at the throne last year when I deposited Grin

Digging around the site, looking for information when the throne grows, bitcoin 30k + and the throne is not growing (it can only wag small tails

If anyone use centralised exchanger then I don't think so there will be any dust attack it can be the bonus type things or else. On the other hand you are using Tron wallet then I think there can be the dust attack cause it's decentralised. Even then I was know that dust attack is likely some scam tokens. I don't know what type of exchanger you used whether it can be dust attack or not .

I'm sure everyone who uses the tron network to make transactions has experienced what you're going through, and if you dig deeper into your tron wallet, you'll find other tokens sent at the same time as the small amount of tron you get. Those tokens will trap you to do an interaction with the smart-contract that's set up to take your Tron balance, because you will find that the price of the tokens is very high. I personally consider all of these events as if they never happened, or as a little bonus for the transactions I made Cheesy

Did you get it after deposit ? Today it's also happened with me when I am deposit trx from a centralized exchanger to another centralized exchanger (Binance to BitMart). At first I thought it might be a deposit bonus as it came with the deposit. But coming to here and see that many are saying about the dust attack. is it really a dust attack? I don't think so because I am not getting any values frequently. Has anyone else had this happen while using a centralized exchange? (like Bitmart).
See when I deposited the trx then after few minutes the little value was added

Yeah, just another dust attack if not a reward if ever you've staked TRX. I've got an old trx address and it's receiving not TRX though but those tokens that are built in the trx network. And I think they're more dangerous because some of them will really make you curious and will make you visit their website. They're all worthless though but I've never received such exact TRX as what you've experienced OP.

Likewise me. I have never received any TRX dust that I did not collect by myself from staking TRX and the only tokens I have ever received in my Tron Wallet are those other tokens on the Tron network and all of them I really don't pay attention to and you can also make them not visible in your wallet if you want so that they are less distractive.

Seeing your experience on the forum, I find it hard to believe you would make such a mistake, but shyly I will suggest (ask) that you check the contract address. Maybe it is not a TRX, but just a copy created in a pattern, and in fact it is a dust attack, but in a smarter form. Roll Eyes

Smart is not enough, there must be skills

The last few months I also received random TRX with a very small amount but this time I was at the exchange address every time I sometimes deposited I also received this dime TRX, on Binance and Kucoin exchanges I also experienced the same thing but I always ignored it because I know this is like a dust attack but I'm pretty sure if this is an exchange address it is quite secure because it has quite tight security and is different from a personal wallet.

I also get some TRX from here and there... mostly from casino staking in the early days! But I have some tokens for that, like WIN, DICE, Rake... In the beginning, I was trying so many TRX DApps, mostly casinos as I said, but I was trying some other things as well! So I am getting some TRX from that I guess, everytime I open my TRX wallet my amount is little bigger!

Did you set some of your TRX staking/voting? It is possible that the TRX you received is a reward from it. If not, it is possible that it is a dusting attack as said by ryzaadit.

To anyone who doesn't know about dusting attack:

Quote

A dusting attack refers to a relatively new kind of malicious activity where hackers and scammers try and break the privacy of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency users by sending tiny amounts of coins to their wallets. The transactional activity of these wallets is then tracked down by the attackers, who perform a combined analysis of different addresses to deanonymize the person or company behind each wallet.

You can read a detailed explanation here: https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/what-is-a-dusting-attack

emmm, if this dust is very dangerous for our wallets in the future, because I also get it in my personal wallet, and I also use my wallet for trade transactions
if its dangerous then i will leave this wallet Sad

It is normal mate. When you transcation for trading in TRX network then A gas fee is determined at the start of your transaction. But when the transaction is complete, some portion of the fixed fee amount is deducted. and the rest amount returned to your wallet. This will happen every time you make a transaction. It happens to me all the time

I've heard that a lot of people say that tokens are coming into their wallets more or less, they were happy and tensed to wanted to know the reason
While I was wondering what's the big deal, maybe someone sent it by mistake. It's good that something is coming into the wallet. But after reading the reply, I searched for Dust Attack and I realized how dangerous it is. Thankfully, I'm safe from it.

It can be dust attack. But if you transfer any altcoin like USDT or anything else from your personal wallet in Trx Network then it is normal. Coz if you transfer altcoin by TRX network after transferred token Some TRX come back like your TRX amount. sometimes it come instantly and sometimes it take a little time.

No, I started receiving it about a month ago and I get several transfers daily, so far I haven't found a logical reason, it may be a dust attack, but what is the wisdom of repeating it? I thought that such an attack targets your privacy.

Thanks for the answers above, but I did not subscribe to any staking, and only wrote my TRX/USDT address on OKX platform.

I also experienced this even on my exchange account, because before I used my exchange account wallet on the TRX network I think it was USDT on the Tron network and sometimes I can receive TRX on my wallet.
Also, they are advertisements, and yeah in my case, they maybe forgot to exclude exchange wallets. I'm just ignoring it.

Since it was sent to your exchange wallet, you can convert those dust to other coins instead of leaving it like that. As long as your exchange account has 2FA and a good combination of words in the password, hackers can't do shit. If it was your personal wallet, I say you should send your main portfolio to a new clean address just to make sure.

There is no specifiq target.

The smart-contract has been set up for any kind of transaction, If you make a transaction then you will receive the dusting attack. And the dusting attack is not targeting any user, so can be happen in any platform, user, exchange, etc.

Most of dusting attack is for scamming, spamming, and advertiser not really to be used for track fund and reveal privacy of the user.

Huh?

For what you leave the wallet, you will always get the dusting attack everytime you doing transaction. Changing wallet is useless, If you get dusting attack token never connected or trade the token. If you get dusting attack for advertiser service, never click anything (most the time on the description hash transaction).

Worth watching out for, because a lot like it was an attempt from Dusting Attack. It's better to secure funds from important coins of value at the wallet address to another new wallet so that it is more secure. Do not attempt to send or transact received coins
