✅ UTXO Management Best Practices
1
Never spend dust together with your main UTXOs. This links the dust sender to your entire transaction history through common-input-ownership heuristic.
2
Use coin control features in wallets like Electrum, Sparrow, or BlueWallet to manually select which UTXOs to spend.
3
Mark dust UTXOs as "do not spend" in your wallet settings if it supports labeling (e.g., Sparrow, Electrum).
4
Use a new receiving address for every transaction (BIP32/44 HD wallets do this automatically) to reduce dust attack surface and improve privacy.
5
Consider CoinJoin or privacy wallets (Wasabi, Samourai) if dust attacks are a significant concern for your threat model.
6
Consolidate dust UTXOs only when the fee cost is less than the dust value. Use low-fee periods (e.g., weekends) to minimize consolidation costs.
