Swap ETH from BNB Chain to DAI on Ethereum

Swap ETH from BNB Chain to DAI on Ethereum. You send Binance-Peg ETH on BNB Chain and you receive Maker DAI on Ethereum.

The peg contract is 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8. Approve it on BNB Chain. BscScan is the explorer, chain id 56, gas in BNB, blocks about 3 seconds. Maker DAI is 0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F, 18 decimals, on Etherscan. Chain id 1. DAI is not Circle and not Tether. It also will not pay Ethereum gas, so the receiving wallet needs ETH.

Pegged ether becomes Maker DAI

You are not moving a gas coin. You approve 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8 and the route sells that token. BNB only covers the fee. The result is Maker's dollar token, which can drift from the peg you think of as one-for-one with cash. If you wanted Tether or Circle, this ending is the wrong tool.

DAI shares 18 decimals and still is not ETH

Both the peg and DAI use 18 decimals, so the raw integers are less misleading than a 6-decimal hop. They are still different assets. Etherscan should show 0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F and should not show a native ETH credit from this route. Hold ETH separately or the DAI cannot be transferred.

USDT or USDC means you opened the wrong page

Those payouts exist from this same peg, on their own pages. Native ETH and WETH exist too. Sending BNB instead of the peg is another mistake this page will not quietly fix. How bridges work is the general wait, not a DAI price. If you did not need Ethereum, sell on BNB Chain.

You will want ETH waiting on chain id 1

Plan the destination before you approve. ETH for gas, and a minimum DAI you would still accept. BNB Chain can confirm in about 3 seconds while the bridge is unfinished. Ethereum's own blocks are about 12 seconds and do not include that wait. Sign only on chain id 56, from the wallet that holds this peg.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap ETH from BNB Chain to DAI on Ethereum?

The peg contract is 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8. Approve it on BNB Chain. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.

Does the ETH label mean I will receive ETH and DAI?

No. You send the peg at 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8 and you receive only Maker DAI at 0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F. BscScan shows the send. Etherscan shows the DAI. Native ETH is something you must already have on Ethereum if you want to move that DAI. BNB paid the source fee.

Is Maker DAI the same as the USDT I use on BNB Chain?

No. USDT on BNB Chain is a different peg and a different issuer. This payout is Maker, on Ethereum. If a desk asked for Tether, signing here is the wrong tool. Check 0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F on Etherscan. Gas after arrival is ETH, not DAI and not BNB.

Will a fast BNB Chain confirmation lock the DAI amount?

No. A block near 3 seconds only means the source chain moves quickly. The quote can still change before you sign, and this page does not promise a price or a finish time after you do. Read the minimum DAI. If the quote expired, request another rather than signing a stale screen.
