Zero Value Assets

Definition ∞ Zero value assets refer to digital tokens or NFTs that, despite existing on a blockchain, possess no discernible market price or functional utility. These assets often arise from failed projects, scams, or unsolicited distributions (dusting attacks). They typically hold no intrinsic or speculative worth. Users may receive them without consent, cluttering their digital wallets.
Context ∞ News occasionally covers instances of zero value assets, particularly in discussions around blockchain security and user awareness of unsolicited token distributions. These assets can sometimes be associated with phishing attempts or attempts to track user activity. Educating users on how to identify and disregard such tokens remains an important aspect of digital asset security.
