Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Zerodust Tools (10)
zerodust_get_chains
List the EVM chains a native gas balance can be emptied to exactly zero on. Returns chain IDs, names, and native tokens. Call this to check whether a specific chain is supported before quoting or sweeping.
zerodust_get_balances
Find leftover native gas token (ETH, BNB, POL, ...) stranded across every supported EVM chain for one address, and report which of it can be recovered. Normally these balances are unrecoverable: you cannot transfer 100% of a gas token, because paying for the transfer consumes the thing you are transferring, so a remainder is always left behind. This reports what is stuck and what could be moved out. Useful when a wallet has small amounts scattered over many chains, when someone cannot send their full balance, or before closing out, winding down or decommissioning a wallet.
zerodust_get_quote
Price out emptying a chain's native gas balance to exactly zero: how much actually arrives, the full fee breakdown, and whether the balance is even large enough to be worth recovering. Call this before sweeping so the user sees the numbers first. Returns a quote ID; quotes expire after about 60 seconds.
