Small balances / dust in Web3Auth Wallet UI

Help - Plug n Play PnP Web SDKs
1

Hi team,

We’ve noticed very small balances in the Wallet UI are displayed in a different format. This is confusing for end users. Could you add either:

  1. a setting to hide small balances (“dust”) under a configurable threshold?

Or provide a workaround for this, if already aware?

Actual: Shows as 1e-9 ETH (screenshot attached).
Expected: Either hidden under a threshold, or formatted as a human-readable decimal.

Thank you for your detailed feedback and the screenshot—it’s very helpful!

Summary for Support Team:

  • SDK: Web3Auth Plug and Play (PnP) Web SDK
  • Platform: Web (Wallet UI)
  • Issue: Small/dust balances (e.g., 1e-9 ETH) are shown in scientific notation in the Wallet UI, which is confusing for end users.
  • Feature Request:
    • Option to hide small/dust balances under a configurable threshold.
    • Or, at minimum, display these balances in a more human-readable decimal format instead of scientific notation.
  • Screenshot Provided: Yes (shows current UI behavior).

Next Steps / Suggestions:

Currently, the Wallet UI does not offer a built-in setting to hide dust balances or to change the display format for very small amounts. Your request is valid and aligns with common wallet UX practices.

  • Feature Request: I’ll flag this as a feature request for the product team to consider adding:

    • A configurable threshold to hide dust balances.
    • Improved formatting for small amounts.

  • Workaround: At present, there isn’t a direct workaround in the dashboard or SDK settings for this. If you are embedding the wallet UI via SDK, you might be able to customize the display by building a custom wallet interface using the Web3Auth Core SDKs, where you can control the formatting and visibility of balances. However, this would require implementing your own UI logic.

  • Reference: Customize Wallet UI docs (currently does not mention dust filtering).

No further details needed from your end at this time.
We appreciate your suggestion and will update here if/when this feature is added to the Wallet UI.
