Swap ETH from BNB Chain to ARB on Arbitrum One

Swap ETH from BNB Chain to ARB on Arbitrum One. You send Binance-Peg ETH on BNB Chain and you receive the ARB token on Arbitrum One.

Approve 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8. BscScan shows that peg on chain id 56. Gas for the approval is BNB, blocks about 3 seconds. The peg is not the gas coin. ARB is 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. Match it on Arbiscan. Chain id 42161, not Nova. ARB cannot pay gas. You need ETH in the receiving wallet or the token cannot move.

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

The peg is sold for the governance token

This input is 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8 and nothing else. A wallet full of BNB and empty of the peg cannot use the page. You still need BNB so the approval is mined. You take ARB price risk. If you wanted USDC, USDT, or native ETH, you are on the wrong payout.

ARB on Arbiscan is not fee ETH

0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 is a token. ETH is the native coin on chain id 42161. Receiving ARB does not top up ETH. Nova will not show this One balance. If you were told the ticker pays gas, that advice does not fit Arbitrum One.

Switch pages for dollars or for gas

Native ETH, WETH, native USDC, and USDT are different routes from this peg. The bridge guide explains the hop. It does not lock the ARB amount, and a fast BNB Chain block is not a completion time. Stay on BNB Chain if you did not need ARB.

Plan ETH on One before you approve

The destination needs ETH already, or the ARB token sits. Read the minimum ARB before you sign on chain id 56. Then use Arbiscan on chain id 42161. If the wallet is on Nova, you are on the wrong network even when the ticker matches. You still need native ETH on chain id 42161 after Arbiscan shows the new ARB token.

Frequently asked questions

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

Approve 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8. BscScan shows that peg on chain id 56. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.

Does the ETH ticker on BNB Chain become ARB one for one?

No. You sell the peg at 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8, and the quote prices it into ARB at 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. Nothing locks that price. Gas on the send is BNB. Gas after arrival is ETH on Arbitrum One, chain id 42161, which this page does not pay you. Nova is not the destination.

Will the ARB I receive pay the next transaction?

No. ARB cannot pay gas. You need ETH on chain id 42161 to move 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. Arbiscan lists them apart. You also need BNB to approve the peg. If you wanted the gas coin itself, this page is the wrong tool.

Can I send BNB on this page and still receive ARB?

Not here. BNB has a separate route. This page approves 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8 only. If BscScan shows BNB and no peg, stop. An approval of the wrong asset does not start the swap, and it does not change the payout into ETH.
