Swap USDT from BNB Chain to ARB on Arbitrum One

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

Approve 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955. BscScan shows that 18-decimal peg on chain id 56. Gas is BNB, blocks about 3 seconds. ARB is 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. Match it on Arbiscan. Chain id 42161 means Arbitrum One, not Nova. ARB cannot pay gas. You need ETH in that wallet or the token sits still. This is not a dollar-to-dollar move.

Tether in, a volatile token out

You sell 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955 and buy ARB. The USDC peg is not the input. Native BNB is not the input. If you wanted to keep a dollar token, native USDC is a different page and this one is the wrong tool. Keep BNB so the approval can be mined. Use the quote, not the raw peg integer.

Arbiscan lists ARB apart from ETH

0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 is the token. ETH is the fee coin on chain id 42161. Holding one does not give you the other. Nova will not display this One balance. If someone told you ARB pays the fee, they are describing a different network than this route uses.

Gas, dollars, and the wrapper are other pages

Native ETH, native USDC, and WETH each start from this same peg on their own pages. The bridge guide is for the hop you mean to make. It does not freeze an ARB price. If Arbitrum One was never the point, stay on BNB Chain.

Accept the ARB floor, then plan the ETH

The minimum ARB is the number that matters if the token moves while you wait. ETH on the destination is a second requirement the quote does not mint for you. A 3 second block on chain id 56 is not a finish time. Sign on BNB Chain. Check Arbiscan on chain id 42161 afterward.

Frequently asked questions

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

Approve 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955. BscScan shows that 18-decimal peg on chain id 56. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.

Does buying ARB also give me ETH for gas?

No. This page pays only 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. ETH is separate, and you need it on Arbitrum One, chain id 42161, to move the ARB token. Arbiscan shows them as different balances. The peg you approved is 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955 on BscScan. Nova is not the destination.

Is ARB the same asset as the ETH I use on Ethereum?

No. ARB is the governance token on Arbitrum One. ETH is the gas coin, on Ethereum and also on Arbitrum One. This route does not deliver that gas coin. If you needed ETH, open the native ETH page. Signing here because both sit on Arbitrum is the wrong tool.

Will a confirmed BNB Chain transaction lock the ARB amount?

The minimum on the quote you sign is the floor you accepted. It is not a clock, and this site does not reverse the trade if ARB moves. If you have not signed and the floor looks worse than you want, wait for a new quote. Gas for the send remains BNB.
