Swap USDC from BNB Chain to ETH on Arbitrum One

Swap USDC from BNB Chain to ETH on Arbitrum One. You send Binance-Peg USDC on BNB Chain and you receive native ETH on Arbitrum One, the coin that pays gas there.

Approve 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d. BscScan shows the 18-decimal peg on chain id 56. Gas is BNB, blocks about 3 seconds. The payout marker 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE means ETH on Arbitrum One, not BNB and not WETH. Arbiscan shows the native balance. Chain id 42161. Nova is not this network. The ETH you receive can pay later fees.

A dollar peg buys Arbitrum's gas coin

You sell 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d and take ETH price exposure. USDT and the ARB token are different pages. If you wanted a dollar balance on Arbitrum One, this payout is the wrong tool. Keep BNB so the approval can be mined. The peg's decimals should be read from the quote, not from a raw integer.

The marker is ETH, and Nova will not see it

0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE is not an ERC-20 on Arbiscan. On chain id 42161 it means native ETH. The same string on BNB Chain would mean BNB, which is not the input. A Nova wallet is the wrong place to look. This ETH can pay gas, which is different from receiving USDT, USDC, WETH, or ARB.

WETH and the ARB token are separate balances

Pools that want the WETH contract need the other page. The ARB token cannot be what this quote pays, and it cannot pay gas either. How bridges work is the wait between the two chains. It does not lock an ETH amount. A 3 second source block is not that wait.

No prior ETH required for this credit

Because the payout is the gas coin, you do not need old ETH on Arbitrum One for the new balance to be usable. You do need BNB on the source. Read the minimum ETH before you sign on chain id 56. Confirm the destination wallet is Arbitrum One, chain id 42161, on Arbiscan.

Frequently asked questions

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

Approve 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d. BscScan shows the 18-decimal peg on chain id 56. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.

Does 0xEeee here mean I am sending BNB?

No. The marker 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE is the destination. On Arbitrum One it means native ETH. You approve Binance-Peg USDC, 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d, on BscScan. Gas for that approval is BNB. Arbiscan should later show ETH on chain id 42161, not on Nova. WETH is different.

Will I receive WETH that still needs unwrapping?

No. This page pays native ETH, which can pay gas on Arbitrum One after it arrives. WETH is a different contract and a different route. The ARB token is not involved. If a pool specifically wants the WETH contract, leave this quote unsigned and open that page.

Is the ETH amount fixed once BNB Chain confirms?

No. A block near 3 seconds is only the source. ETH can move while the bridge is open, and this page does not promise a price or a completion time. Judge the minimum ETH. If it is too small for the USDC peg you are selling, do not sign.
