Swap POL from Polygon to ARB on Arbitrum One

Swap POL from Polygon to ARB on Arbitrum One. Native POL leaves Polygon. ARB is what can arrive on Arbitrum One. Neither coin is ETH, so you can finish with ARB and no way to move it.

Sell 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, POL on chain id 137. Buy 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. Gas on Arbitrum One is ETH, and this quote does not buy it. Polygonscan shows the POL debit. Arbiscan shows ARB. Not Nova. How cross-chain bridges work is the reason a governance token is not a fee balance.

The stranded case

If the destination has no ETH, ARB arrives and waits. This route is the wrong one when the job was to fund gas. Native ETH is the fee output. ARB is not ETH, and the ARB contract will not pay chain id 42161.

Leave POL

You are spending the fee coin on Polygon. The last unit cannot pay chain id 137. Wrapped POL at 0x0d500B1d8E8eF31E21C99d1Db9A6444d3ADf1270 is not the asset this quote sells. About 2 second blocks are not the bridge.

Not a dollar

Native USDC and Tether are other outputs. USDC.e is not ARB. You are taking ARB price. Read the minimum. Refresh if the quote expires. No finish time is stated.

Two explorers

Polygonscan for the native debit. Arbiscan for ARB on Arbitrum One only. Nova and Ethereum will stay empty. Do not approve the gas label.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap POL from Polygon to ARB on Arbitrum One?

Sell 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, POL on chain id 137. Buy 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.

Will ARB pay Arbitrum fees?

No. 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 is the governance token. ETH pays chain id 42161, and this route does not buy ETH. The native label 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE on the source is POL, not a spare ETH balance. Arbiscan shows ARB on Arbitrum One, not Nova. Fund ETH if you must move the token.

Is wrapped POL accepted?

No. Wrapped POL is 0x0d500B1d8E8eF31E21C99d1Db9A6444d3ADf1270. This page spends native POL only and needs some left for gas. Unwrap first. Polygonscan should show a native debit, not an allowance of the wrapper. BscScan and Etherscan are the wrong explorers. Use Polygonscan for the debit and Arbiscan for ARB.

What if I needed USDT instead?

Then stop. Tether on Arbitrum One is 0xFd086bC7CD5C481DCC9C85ebE478A1C0b69FCbb9. ARB will not pass a Tether deposit check. Native USDC is a third contract. Switch the output before you spend POL. You would still want ETH on chain id 42161 to move whatever dollar token you pick.
