The total market cap hit a new all-time high this week. Most altcoins are flying alongside BTC and ETH at their peaks.
Actually, BTC smashed a new ATH of $125k. ETH missed its old record by a bee’s dick, and $Sol broke $200 again.
Anyway, now is the perfect time for cleaning your wallets. Some of your “dust” or forgotten coins could have real value.
I just scraped over $10k by digging through 100+ wallets. Yes, 100+ wallets. Being an airdrop farmer isn’t easy, but it’s honest work.
Why Cleaning Wallets is a Bull Market Ritual
When the market pumps, even the tiniest leftovers matter. That random $5 token from last year? It might be worth $50 today.
Crypto moves fast. Your forgotten coins won’t tell you they’re pumping. You need to go find them.
Leave Some for Gas, But Check the Rest
When farming airdrops, you often leave gas tokens in wallets. That’s smart. You need them for future transactions.
But over time, these add up. Maybe you left 0.002 ETH on Arbitrum for gas. Now that’s $15 instead of $7.
Multiply that by 20 wallets, and suddenly you’ve got a nice little stack.
The Multichain Memory Problem
Using multiple chains is fun until you forget where your money is. It happens more than you think.
I’ve seen $10 to $100 just sitting untouched on chains like:
- Base
- Blast
- Arbitrum
- Optimism
- Binance Chain
- Linea
- Scroll
- More
You bridge tokens, do a swap, and then move on. Months later, it’s still there, quietly waiting.
NFT Farming Surprises
If you’ve farmed NFTs, you know how easy it is to forget things.
You deposit wETH into Blur pools, farm points, then get distracted. Maybe you leave the pool without withdrawing all funds.
Even platforms like ZORA can surprise you. That random NFT you minted for fun could now be worth hundreds.
Staking — The Silent Treasure
One of my biggest finds came from staking. I had $EIGEN staked on five different wallets and forgot about it completely.
Sometimes your rewards sit there unclaimed. Other times your entire stake is just waiting to be unstaked.
Projects like Celestia and Injective are common places for these surprises.
If you want to speed things up, use Debank.com. It’s a lifesaver for people juggling multiple wallets.
Debank shows:
- Tokens across all chains
- Staked coins
- Lending positions
- NFT holdings
It’s how I found staking rewards I didn’t even remember setting up.
Old Wallet Farms Can Be Gold Mines
If you’ve been farming for a while, you probably have old wallets lying around. Check them.
Celestia, Injective, Blast, and other early farming projects might still have staked coins or rewards.
These wallets can hide tokens you thought were long gone.
Why I Stopped Holding Random Dust Through Bears
After past bull runs, I used to keep all my small alt balances through the bear market. I hoped they’d make a comeback.
Bad idea. Three cycles in a row, they were worth less by the next bull.
Now, I sell everything during a strong upswing. Even at -50% from the top, it’s better than holding and praying.
Clean Now, Thank Yourself Later
Cleaning your wallets now could mean free steak dinners or even more.
Dust piles up. Forgotten coins gain value. And your future self will thank you for taking the time.
Good luck — and happy farming.
