Swap USDT from Ethereum to ETH on Arbitrum One
Swap USDT from Ethereum to ETH on Arbitrum One. A chain 42161 wallet that needs gas spends Ethereum Tether and receives native ETH on Arbitrum One.
Native ETH on the destination is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, the gas coin Arbiscan shows for Arbitrum One. It is not WETH, and it is not the ETH balance on Ethereum. You approve Tether at 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7 on Etherscan. If your Tether is already on Arbitrum One at 0xFd086bC7CD5C481DCC9C85ebE478A1C0b69FCbb9, swap it for ETH there instead. Chain id 1 still needs ETH to move the mainnet USDT. The destination is not Arbitrum Nova. Switch to Arbitrum One and read the native gas line on Arbiscan. Nova will not show this ETH. Confirm it on Arbiscan.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap USDT from Ethereum to ETH on Arbitrum One?
Native ETH on the destination is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, the gas coin Arbiscan shows for Arbitrum One. It is not WETH, and it is not the ETH balance on Ethereum.
I already hold USDT on Arbitrum One. Should I use this page?
No. This page starts from Ethereum Tether at 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7 on Etherscan. USDT at 0xFd086bC7CD5C481DCC9C85ebE478A1C0b69FCbb9 can be swapped for ETH on Arbitrum One. Using this bridge would move a mainnet balance you may be leaving in place on purpose. Use a same-chain swap on Arbitrum One instead.
Is 0xEeee an ETH contract I should import?
It is a placeholder for the native gas coin, not a contract to import. On chain id 42161 that coin is ETH. Arbiscan shows it as the native balance. Importing the placeholder creates a useless row. Switch the wallet to Arbitrum One, not Nova, and read the gas line.
What else belongs in the Ethereum wallet?
Tether plus ETH. The USDT contract cannot pay gas on chain id 1, and blocks there are about 12 seconds. ETH you will receive on Arbitrum One does not exist on Ethereum yet, so it cannot pay the fee either. Add a small ETH balance before you approve.
