Sell 0xc2132D05D31c914a87C6611C10748AEb04B58e8F. Buy 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. ETH remains the gas coin on chain id 42161. Polygonscan shows Tether leaving. Arbiscan shows ARB.

You may land unable to move ARB

No ETH on the destination means the governance token waits. This route does not buy ETH. If the job was gas, stop. The native label is the fee route. This page is the wrong one.

Dollars were the input, not the output

Arbitrum USDT and native USDC are other quotes. USDC.e at 0xFF970A61A04b1cA14834A43f5dE4533eBDDB5CC8 is not ARB either. You accepted price exposure. Read the minimum.

Polygon fee is POL

Tether does not pay chain id 137. Leave POL. About 2 second blocks are not a bridge finish. The approval of 0xc2132D05D31c914a87C6611C10748AEb04B58e8F can be its own transaction.

Chain id check

42161, Arbiscan, Arbitrum One. Nova will not list the credit. Ethereum mainnet will not list it either. Match the wallet network before you look for the token.

Frequently asked questions

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

Sell 0xc2132D05D31c914a87C6611C10748AEb04B58e8F. Buy 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.

Does the ARB token pay Arbitrum fees?

No. 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 is not ETH. Chain id 42161 charges ETH. This route does not include that ETH. If you have none, the ARB can arrive and sit. Arbiscan shows the token on Arbitrum One, not on Nova. Fund ETH separately if you need to move it.

Is this still Tether when it arrives?

No. You sold Tether at 0xc2132D05D31c914a87C6611C10748AEb04B58e8F. Arbitrum Tether would be 0xFd086bC7CD5C481DCC9C85ebE478A1C0b69FCbb9, and this quote does not buy it. If you needed a dollar token, switch routes. Polygonscan shows only the debit. ARB is a different asset from the Tether you sold. Do not expect Tether to arrive with the ARB.

What network is the source approval on?

Polygon, chain id 137, paid in POL. The contract is 0xc2132D05D31c914a87C6611C10748AEb04B58e8F, not Ethereum USDT. Polygonscan should show that approval. The ARB credit never appears there. Look on Arbiscan after the hop, and ignore Nova. The source contract is Polygon Tether, not the Ethereum one. Match chain id 137 before the approval.
