Swap ETH from Ethereum to ARB on Arbitrum One
Swap ETH from Ethereum to ARB on Arbitrum One. Someone who wants the ARB token on chain 42161 spends native ETH on Ethereum and receives that governance token.
You send native ETH, marked 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE on chain id 1. You receive ARB at 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 on Arbiscan. ARB does not pay gas. You must leave ETH on Ethereum for the send, and you still need ETH on Arbitrum One afterward, because the token you receive is not the fee token. The chain is 42161, not Nova. Blocks on Ethereum are about 12 seconds. A local wrap of ETH into WETH would not create this ARB balance. Switch to chain id 42161 and import ARB from Arbiscan.
You spend gas to buy a non-gas token
Not a wrap, and not a canonical ETH bridge

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap ETH from Ethereum to ARB on Arbitrum One?
You send native ETH, marked 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE on chain id 1. You receive ARB at 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 on Arbiscan.
Does the ARB replace my need for ETH on Arbitrum One?
No. ARB at 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 cannot pay gas. Chain id 42161 charges ETH. The ETH you sold was on Ethereum, marked 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, and the fee there came from the same balance. Add ETH on Arbitrum One before you move the token.
How much ETH should I keep on Ethereum?
Enough to pay the chain id 1 fee after the amount you sell. A send of the entire native balance fails. Blocks are about 12 seconds. You do not approve an ERC-20 for the ETH. Etherscan shows the native balance. Arbiscan shows the ARB after you switch to chain id 42161.
Is this how I move ETH to Arbitrum One?
Only if you want the value to arrive as ARB. Native ETH on Arbitrum One is a different output. Wrapping on Ethereum is a third action and stays on chain id 1. This pair is the wrong tool unless 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 is the token you mean to hold.
