Swap USDT from Ethereum to BNB on BNB Chain
Swap USDT from Ethereum to BNB on BNB Chain. A BNB Chain wallet short of gas spends Ethereum Tether and receives native BNB.
Native BNB is represented by 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE on the destination side. That is the gas coin on chain id 56, shown on BscScan as BNB, not as a token you add by contract. The token you approve is Tether, 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7, on Etherscan. You need ETH beside it for mainnet gas. Ethereum blocks are about 12 seconds. BNB Chain blocks are about 3 seconds. If the wallet is still on Ethereum you will not see native BNB in the gas line. Switch to chain id 56 and read the address on BscScan.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap USDT from Ethereum to BNB on BNB Chain?
Native BNB is represented by 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE on the destination side. That is the gas coin on chain id 56, shown on BscScan as BNB, not as a token you add by contract.
I already hold USDT on BNB Chain. Should I use this page?
No. This page starts from Ethereum Tether at 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7. USDT that already sits at 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955 can be swapped for BNB on BNB Chain. Bridging again would send a mainnet balance you may not be trying to move. Use a same-chain swap in that case.
Is the 0xEeee address a real BNB contract I should import?
Do not import 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE as a custom ERC-20. It is a placeholder for the native gas coin. On this route the coin is BNB. Your wallet shows it as the native balance once you are on chain id 56. BscScan shows the same balance on the address page.
What else must be in the Ethereum wallet?
Tether plus ETH. The USDT contract cannot pay gas on chain id 1. Blocks there are about 12 seconds, and the approval may be its own transaction. If you have USDT and no ETH, buy or transfer a small ETH amount before you open this route.
