Swap USDC from Ethereum to USDT on Arbitrum One
Swap USDC from Ethereum to USDT on Arbitrum One. Traders who need Tether on Arbitrum One spend Circle USDC on Ethereum and receive that USDT.
This page is for a wallet on chain id 42161, Arbitrum One, not Arbitrum Nova. You approve Circle USDC at 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 on Etherscan, 6 decimals. You receive Tether at 0xFd086bC7CD5C481DCC9C85ebE478A1C0b69FCbb9 on Arbiscan, also 6 decimals. Ethereum Tether at 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7 is not the credit. A mainnet pool already swaps these stables if both should stay on chain id 1. Gas to leave is ETH, and blocks there are about 12 seconds. Gas on Arbitrum One is also ETH, and it is a separate balance from the ETH you spend on Ethereum.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap USDC from Ethereum to USDT on Arbitrum One?
This page is for a wallet on chain id 42161, Arbitrum One, not Arbitrum Nova. You approve Circle USDC at 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 on Etherscan, 6 decimals.
Is Arbitrum USDT the same contract as Ethereum USDT?
No. Ethereum Tether is 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7 on Etherscan. This route pays 0xFd086bC7CD5C481DCC9C85ebE478A1C0b69FCbb9 on Arbiscan. Both use 6 decimals. Switch the wallet to Arbitrum One, chain id 42161, and match the full address. Arbitrum Nova is a different network and will not show this balance.
Does the USDT pay gas on Arbitrum One?
No. Gas on chain id 42161 is ETH, and that ETH is not the same balance as ETH on Ethereum. USDT is an ERC-20. If the Arbitrum wallet has no ETH, the Tether can sit on Arbiscan until you add gas. The send on Ethereum also needs ETH, because Circle USDC cannot pay chain id 1.
What if I only wanted USDT on Ethereum?
Sell Circle USDC for Tether on Ethereum and stop at 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7. This bridge is the wrong tool for that balance. Use it when an Arbitrum One address expects 0xFd086bC7CD5C481DCC9C85ebE478A1C0b69FCbb9 and the dollars you hold are still Circle USDC on mainnet.
