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

Approve 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d. BscScan shows that peg on chain id 56, gas in BNB, blocks about 3 seconds. The ARB token is 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. Match it on Arbiscan. Chain id 42161, which is Arbitrum One, not Nova. ARB does not pay gas. ETH does. You need ETH in the receiving wallet or the ARB token cannot move.

USDC leaves BNB Chain. ARB is what can arrive on Arbitrum One.

Dollars in, the governance token out

You sell the USDC peg and buy ARB. That is a volatile token, not a stablecoin and not the fee coin. The input is only 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d. If you wanted ETH, WETH, or USDT, this page is the wrong tool. Keep BNB for gas on chain id 56. Read the quote rather than the raw 18-decimal integer.

ARB cannot pay Arbitrum One

0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 is the token Arbiscan should show. People treat the ticker as if it were gas. It is not. ETH on chain id 42161 pays the fee. A wallet with ARB and no ETH is stuck. Nova is a different chain and will not list this transfer as a One balance.

Fee ETH is a different route

If the point of the hop was gas money, open the native ETH page. If the point was Tether or WETH, open those. The bridge guide walks the hop and does not set an ARB price. Staying on BNB Chain is smaller when you did not need this token at all.

Two coins to budget, one floor to accept

BNB for the send. ETH already on Arbitrum One for the next move. The minimum ARB is the floor if the price moves. A 3 second BNB Chain block does not finish the route. Sign on chain id 56. Look up the result on Arbiscan for chain id 42161, not on a Nova explorer view.

Frequently asked questions

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

Approve 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d. BscScan shows that peg on chain id 56, gas in BNB, blocks about 3 seconds.

If I receive ARB, can I use it to pay gas?

No. The ARB token at 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 does not pay fees on Arbitrum One. ETH does. Arbiscan lists them separately, on chain id 42161, not on Nova. The peg you send is 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d on BscScan. Bring ETH or the ARB balance cannot move.

Is this the same as receiving ETH?

No. ETH is the gas coin, marked with the native placeholder, and it has its own page. This page pays only the ARB token. If you needed fee money, signing here is the wrong tool. You would hold a volatile governance token and still need ETH from somewhere else.

Does the quote lock how much ARB I receive?

No. ARB can move while BNB Chain confirms and while the bridge is open. This page does not promise a price or a completion time. The minimum on the quote is the floor. A block near 3 seconds is only the source chain. Refresh if the quote expires.
