Swap ARB from Arbitrum One to USDC on BNB Chain
Swap ARB from Arbitrum One to USDC on BNB Chain. ARB leaves Arbitrum One and pegged USDC arrives on BNB Chain.
ARB at 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 is the governance token you sell. Arbiscan, chain id 42161, not Nova. It does not pay gas. Keep native ETH. The receive token is Binance-Peg USDC at 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d, eighteen decimals, on BNB Chain. BscScan is the check. It is not Circle's native USDC. Chain id 56 uses BNB for fees. Blocks are about 3 seconds and do not clock the route.
Governance token sold, pegged dollar bought
ARB price is not a dollar peg
Two gas coins, neither of them ARB
Wrong if ARB must remain the asset

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap ARB from Arbitrum One to USDC on BNB Chain?
ARB at 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 is the governance token you sell. Arbiscan, chain id 42161, not Nova.
Will I hold ARB on BNB Chain after this swap?
No. You sell 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 on Arbitrum One. The asset that can arrive is Binance-Peg USDC at 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d. Check it on BscScan. It is not Circle's native USDC. Voting units you sell are gone. If you still need them, reduce the size. Confirm that address on the explorer before you sign, and refresh the quote if it has expired.
Is this USDC eighteen decimals?
Yes. 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d uses eighteen decimals on chain id 56. Circle USDC on Arbitrum uses six, and it is not the receive token. Read whole tokens on the quote. A raw integer will look enormous next to a six-decimal mental model. About 3 seconds is a BNB Chain block, not a reason to skip the decimal check.
What pays for the ARB approval?
Native ETH on Arbitrum One, sentinel 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, chain id 42161. ARB cannot pay it. BNB cannot pay it either, because BNB is on the other side and is not even the output. Add ETH before you sign. Add BNB later if you need to move the pegged USDC. Nova is the wrong source chain.
