Swap USDC from Polygon to ARB on Arbitrum One
Swap USDC from Polygon to ARB on Arbitrum One. Circle USDC leaves Polygon. ARB is what can arrive on Arbitrum One. ARB is the governance token. It does not pay gas.
Sell 0x3c499c542cEF5E3811e1192ce70d8cC03d5c3359. Buy 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. Gas on the destination remains ETH. If the receiving wallet has no ETH, the ARB can sit forever from your point of view. Polygonscan shows USDC. Arbiscan shows ARB. Not Nova. The chain notes are on Arbitrum One.
Stranded without ETH
Not USDT and not USDC
USDC.e is still the wrong sell
Nova will hide the token

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap USDC from Polygon to ARB on Arbitrum One?
Sell 0x3c499c542cEF5E3811e1192ce70d8cC03d5c3359. Buy 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.
Does ARB pay gas on Arbitrum One?
No. 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 is the governance token. ETH pays fees on chain id 42161. This route does not buy ETH. If the destination wallet has no ETH, the ARB can arrive and wait. Arbiscan shows the token. It does not show a gas credit. This is not Nova.
Is this a way to get USDC onto Arbitrum?
No. You sell USDC. The output is ARB. Native USDC on Arbitrum One is 0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831, and USDC.e is another contract. If you still need dollars, switch routes before you approve 0x3c499c542cEF5E3811e1192ce70d8cC03d5c3359. ARB is not a dollar token and will not satisfy that need. Pick a dollar output instead.
Which network must the wallet use on Polygon?
Chain id 137, with POL for gas, spending native Circle USDC rather than USDC.e at 0x2791Bca1f2de4661ED88A30C99A7a9449Aa84174. Polygonscan shows that approval. The ARB credit is only on Arbiscan for Arbitrum One. Ethereum mainnet will not list it. Chain id 42161 is the only destination that matters here.
