Swap ETH from Arbitrum One to USDC on Solana

Swap ETH from Arbitrum One to USDC on Solana. Native ETH leaves Arbitrum One and Circle USDC arrives on Solana.

Spend native ETH, sentinel 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, on Arbitrum One. Not WETH. Arbiscan, chain id 42161, not Nova. Reserve a fee. Receive EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v, Circle's SPL mint. Solscan and Phantom. No ERC-20 approval on Solana. A 0x address cannot receive it. Slots near 400 milliseconds are not a fill time.

ETH leaves Arbitrum One. USDC is what can arrive on Solana.

You are selling the source gas coin

The sentinel on Arbitrum One is ETH, and it pays the fee, so the full balance cannot be the trade. WETH at 0x82aF49447D8a07e3bd95BD0d56f35241523fBab1 is not the input. On Solana you do not receive ETH at all. There is no native ETH gas there. You can receive Circle's USDC mint. The wrapped SOL mint is a different output if what you needed was fee lamports.

Phantom, Solscan, no approve

EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v is the mint to match on Solscan. It is not an EVM contract you approve. The destination must already be a Solana wallet. How to bridge assets between chains is worth reading before you paste an Arbitrum address into a Solana field. That paste fails the format, not just the chain id.

ETH price against a dollar mint

The minimum USDC moves until you sign, and it dies with the quote. Six decimals on the SPL mint versus eighteen on ETH. Read whole tokens. You may need a little SOL already in Phantom for fees around the new token account. This USDC mint will not pay those fees.

Wrong if ETH should remain the asset

Solana will not show an ETH gas balance from this page. It will not show Arbitrum WETH. It will not show Tether's SPL mint. Stop on Nova. Stop if you wanted wrapped SOL. Stop if the recipient is an EVM deposit address. Before you sign, compare 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE with EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v on their explorers and stop if either address on the quote differs. Keep the source fee token in the wallet after you choose the trade size. The destination fee token is a different balance from the one this route can credit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap ETH from Arbitrum One to USDC on Solana?

Spend native ETH, sentinel 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, on Arbitrum One. Not WETH. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.

Will I receive ETH on Solana?

No. Solana does not use ETH as gas. This route can credit Circle USDC, mint EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v, in Phantom. You spend native ETH, sentinel 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, on Arbitrum One, and you must reserve a fee. There is no ERC-20 approval on Solana. Check the mint on Solscan.

Why can't I use my whole ETH balance?

Chain id 42161 charges ETH, and that is the asset you are selling. Leave a remainder. WETH is a different contract and is not a backup. SOL on the destination cannot pay the source fee. A slot near 400 milliseconds does not change the reserve. Nova is the wrong network.

Is the Solana USDC mint an ERC-20 I approve?

No. It is an SPL mint. You do not approve it. Any approval-like step on this route would be a mistake if it targeted Solana. The recipient cannot be a 0x address. Keep a little native SOL for later fees, because USDC will not pay them.
