Swap ARB from Arbitrum One to ETH on BNB Chain

Swap ARB from Arbitrum One to ETH on BNB Chain. ARB leaves Arbitrum One and pegged ETH arrives on BNB Chain.

The governance token 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 is what you sell. Arbiscan, chain id 42161, not Nova. Keep ETH for gas. The BEP-20 you can receive is 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8. BscScan should show Binance-Peg ETH. It is not native ETH, not BNB, and not the sentinel 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. Chain id 56. Blocks about every 3 seconds. That cadence is not a delivery promise.

Diagram for Swap ARB from Arbitrum One to ETH on BNB Chain — ARB leaves Arbitrum One. ETH is what can arrive on BNB Chain.

Pegged ETH is not a gas balance

0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8 cannot pay fees on BNB Chain. BNB can. If you opened this page because a wallet was stuck without gas, you picked the wrong output. The sentinel route is the one that can credit BNB. This one credits a BEP-20 that still needs BNB before it can move. Exchange deposit pages for native ETH on Ethereum will not credit it either.

ARB is the only inventory this quote sees

WETH, native ETH, and USDT balances on Arbitrum One are not inputs here. The approval, if it appears, names 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. If the screen shows another contract, you drifted onto another route. Selling ARB also drops voting weight. The ETH peg you receive has no governance rights in the Arbitrum DAO.

A float into another float

ARB and ether both move, and the peg has its own market on BNB Chain. The minimum is the only bound, and it expires. Do not assume one ARB maps to a fixed slice of ETH. How cross-chain bridges work explains why the credit is not the same object you sent. Reread the BEP-20 amount on a fresh quote.

Wrong chain, wrong ticker, wrong job

Wrong if you need native BNB. Wrong if you need ARB to stay ARB. Wrong if you need Circle or Tether dollars. Wrong if you need canonical WETH on Ethereum. Wrong on Nova. Wrong if you meant to wrap ETH you already hold on BNB Chain, which would not involve the ARB contract on Arbiscan at all.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap ARB from Arbitrum One to ETH on BNB Chain?

The governance token 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 is what you sell. Arbiscan, chain id 42161, not Nova.

Is the ETH on this route native or pegged?

Pegged. The contract is 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8 on BNB Chain, a BEP-20. Native gas there is BNB, sentinel 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. You sell ARB at 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. Confirm the peg on BscScan. It will not pay fees and it is not Ethereum ETH. Confirm that address on the explorer before you sign, and refresh the quote if it has expired.

Will my ARB voting power move with the peg?

No. Sold ARB leaves the wallet on Arbitrum One. The pegged ETH token has none of that voting power. This route does not bridge ARB as ARB. If a vote matters, keep the tokens you need and sell only the rest. Chain id 42161 must be selected, not Nova.

What gas do I need besides ARB?

ETH on Arbitrum One to sign, and BNB on chain id 56 if you want to move the BEP-20 after it arrives. This quote supplies the peg, not BNB. About 3 seconds is a BNB Chain block interval. It is not a promise that the peg has arrived, and it does not replace either gas balance.
