Swap ETH from BNB Chain to USDT on Solana

Swap ETH from BNB Chain to USDT on Solana. Binance-Peg ETH leaves BNB Chain. Tether USDT is what can arrive on Solana. The word ETH on this page is a BEP-20, and the dollar token at the end is Tether.

Sell 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8. Buy the SPL mint Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB. Native gas on the source is BNB, and the placeholder for that gas is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, which this quote does not sell. BscScan lists the pegged token. Solscan lists Tether. How cross-chain bridges work is useful if pegged ETH still looks like mainnet ether.

Three different things called ETH

Native ETH pays gas on Ethereum. WETH is the wrapper at 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2. This route sells neither. It sells Binance-Peg ETH. If your ether is on chain id 1, stop. Etherscan will not show this debit.

Tether at the end, not Circle

Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB is Tether's SPL USDT. Circle's Solana USDC is a different mint. If compliance or accounting needs Circle, this route is wrong. The pegged ETH you sold does not come back as ETH either.

BNB pays, the pegged token does not

Chain id 56 fees come from BNB, and blocks are about 3 seconds. You may approve 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8 first. That approval is not the swap. Solana will not ask for a second ERC-20 approval.

USDT cannot pay Phantom

After arrival you hold Tether, not SOL. A Phantom wallet with no SOL can receive Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB and still fail the next transfer. Fund a little SOL before you need to move it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap ETH from BNB Chain to USDT on Solana?

Sell 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8. Buy the SPL mint Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.

Does BscScan call this token Ethereum?

The contract 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8 is Binance-Peg ETH on chain id 56. The name can say Ethereum and still not be native ETH or WETH. Read the contract, not the ticker. Native BNB is the only gas coin on that chain. Etherscan is the wrong explorer for this debit.

Which mint should Solscan show?

Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB. If the account shows EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v, that is Circle USDC and not this route. Solana has no ERC-20 approval step. Use Phantom, not an EVM 0x deposit address. Solscan tells those two mints apart. A ticker search is not enough. Compare every character of the mint on Solscan.

What if I needed SOL for fees instead of USDT?

Then this quote is the wrong output. It pays Tether. A route that quotes So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 is the one that pays SOL. Holding USDT does not substitute for that gas coin on Solana. This page will not add SOL on the side. Pick the SOL route if fees are the goal.
