Swap USDC from Base to ETH on Arbitrum One
Swap USDC from Base to ETH on Arbitrum One. Circle USDC leaves Base, and native ETH arrives on Arbitrum One, chain 42161.
Spend Circle USDC at 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 on Base, chain 8453. Basescan is the explorer, and you should expect an approval paid in ETH. Receive native ETH on Arbitrum One. The placeholder 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE means that gas coin, shown on Arbiscan as the account balance, not as a token. It is not WETH at 0x82aF49447D8a07e3bd95BD0d56f35241523fBab1. This is One, not Nova. Base ETH and Arbitrum ETH are separate balances.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap USDC from Base to ETH on Arbitrum One?
Spend Circle USDC at 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 on Base, chain 8453. Basescan is the explorer, and you should expect an approval paid in ETH.
Is the ETH I receive WETH on Arbitrum?
No. Native ETH is the gas coin, marked 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, and Arbiscan shows it on the account. WETH is 0x82aF49447D8a07e3bd95BD0d56f35241523fBab1. A pool that accepts only that contract will ignore the native balance until you wrap it on Arbitrum One, chain 42161. Wrapping is a later step, and it is not included in this USDC sale.
Does Base ETH travel over as the same balance?
No. You are selling USDC, not relocating your Base ETH. The ETH that arrives is a new balance on chain 42161. The ETH you already hold on Base, chain 8453, stays there and is what pays the send. Arbiscan and Basescan are different explorers for that reason.
Will this show up on Arbitrum Nova?
No. This route credits Arbitrum One, chain 42161, not Nova. If the wallet is on Nova, the account can look empty after Arbiscan already shows the ETH. Switch networks before you send a second swap. USDC on Base is unchanged until you sign. A second click will not speed the first bridge, and no duration is promised.
