Swap ARB from Arbitrum One to USDT on BNB Chain

Swap ARB from Arbitrum One to USDT on BNB Chain. ARB leaves Arbitrum One and BSC USDT arrives on BNB Chain.

Sell 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. Confirm ARB on Arbiscan. Chain id 42161, not Nova. Gas is ETH, not ARB. Receive 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955 on BNB Chain. That USDT has eighteen decimals. BscScan is the explorer. It is not 0xFd086bC7CD5C481DCC9C85ebE478A1C0b69FCbb9 and not Ethereum Tether. Chain id 56, fees in BNB, blocks about 3 seconds. The block time is not a fill time.

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

The dollar token is BSC's USDT contract

0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955 is the receive address to memorize. Eighteen decimals. If you add Ethereum's 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7 on chain id 56, the balance will stay invisible. Exchange deposit pages that say ERC-20 USDT on Ethereum are a different asset on a different chain. This credit cannot satisfy them. Read the deposit chain as BNB Chain and the contract as the BscScan page.

You are exiting ARB, not relocating it

The governance token is the input. It is not the output. Units sold cannot vote. There is no ARB balance created on BNB Chain by this quote. If the reason you opened a cross-chain page was to keep ARB and change networks, close this one. The minimum USDT is only a sale price, and it moves with ARB.

Fees bookend the trade

Approve ARB with ETH on Arbitrum One. Move USDT later with BNB. Neither fee token is delivered here. BNB Chain uses chain id 56. The source explorer stays Arbiscan. Mixing them up is how an approval gets signed on Nova, where this ARB contract is not the same network.

Wrong for USDC, BNB, or pegged ETH

Binance-Peg USDC is a different contract. Native BNB is the sentinel, not this page's output. Pegged ETH is 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8. None of those arrive. The page is also wrong if your token is Arbitrum WETH or native ETH rather than ARB. Check the spend address before you grant allowance.

Frequently asked questions

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

Sell 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. Confirm ARB on Arbiscan. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.

Does ARB show up on BscScan after the swap?

Not from this route. You spend 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 on Arbitrum One. BscScan should be checked for USDT at 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955. That token has eighteen decimals. If you needed the governance token itself, this sale is the wrong action. Voting power on the sold units ends. Confirm the address on the explorer before you sign.

Is BSC USDT six decimals like Ethereum USDT?

No. Ethereum Tether is six decimals at 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7. The contract here is eighteen decimals. Read the quote in whole tokens. A base-unit copy will look wildly different. You still need ETH on chain id 42161 to sell ARB, and BNB later to move USDT. About 3 seconds is only a block interval.

Can ARB pay the Arbitrum fee?

No. Native ETH, sentinel 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, pays gas on chain id 42161. ARB may need an approval, and that approval needs ETH too. Arbitrum Nova is not the network. The USDT on BNB Chain will not reimburse the source fee. Confirm that address on the explorer before you sign, and refresh the quote if it has expired.
