Trade on Ethereum with XAUConnect

Trade on Ethereum with XAUConnect if you already hold ETH for gas and you want the deepest blue-chip pools.

Chain id is 1. Blocks are about 12 seconds. Gas is paid in ETH and can cost more than the platform fee on a small swap. WETH, the ERC-20 wrapper, is 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2. Native ETH and WETH are not the same contract. Confirm both on Etherscan.

The platform fee and the network fee are different costs.

When Ethereum is the wrong chain

If the token you want only has depth on Base or Solana, do not force it here. Bridging in just to swap and bridge out pays gas twice. A 30 basis point fee on 1,000 units is 3 units. Ethereum gas can be larger than that.

Tokens people mean on this chain

ETH for gas and for trading, WETH when a pool wants an ERC-20, USDC and USDT for dollars, WBTC for a bitcoin claim. None of those contracts are the asset on another chain. Gas versus the platform fee is gas fees explained across chains.
