Swap USDC from BNB Chain to WETH on Ethereum
Swap USDC from BNB Chain to WETH on Ethereum. You send Binance-Peg USDC on BNB Chain and you receive WETH on Ethereum, not native ETH.
The peg you approve is 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d. BscScan lists it on chain id 56, gas in BNB, blocks about 3 seconds, 18 decimals. WETH on Ethereum is 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2. Match that contract on Etherscan. Chain id 1. Gas there is native ETH, and WETH cannot pay it. Blocks on Ethereum are about 12 seconds. The wrapper and the gas coin are different balances.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap USDC from BNB Chain to WETH on Ethereum?
The peg you approve is 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d. BscScan lists it on chain id 56, gas in BNB, blocks about 3 seconds, 18 decimals.
Can I unwrap this payout into ETH without extra gas?
Unwrapping WETH at 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2 stays on Ethereum and still costs native ETH. This route does not do that unwrap for you. Etherscan will show the wrapper, not a native credit. If you needed the gas coin itself, use the native ETH page. Gas on the send remains BNB, checked on BscScan.
Is Binance-Peg ETH the same token I will receive?
No. The input is Binance-Peg USDC, 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d. The output is Ethereum WETH, 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2. Binance-Peg ETH is a different contract on BNB Chain. BscScan and Etherscan will not show one balance. You need BNB to send and ETH already waiting to move the WETH.
Does a 3 second block mean the WETH is already on Ethereum?
No. That pace is BNB Chain only. Ethereum blocks are about 12 seconds, and the bridge adds its own wait, which this page does not clock. The quote is an estimate. Accept or reject the minimum WETH. WETH cannot pay the Ethereum fee when it arrives.
