Swap USDT from Polygon to USDC on Arbitrum One

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap USDT from Polygon to USDC on Arbitrum One?
Spend 0xc2132D05D31c914a87C6611C10748AEb04B58e8F. Receive 0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.
Is the arriving USDC the bridged USDC.e?
No. Bridged USDC.e on Arbitrum is 0xFF970A61A04b1cA14834A43f5dE4533eBDDB5CC8. This route buys native Circle USDC at 0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831 on chain id 42161, not Nova. You sell Polygon Tether at 0xc2132D05D31c914a87C6611C10748AEb04B58e8F. Arbiscan is the check. The ticker alone will lie. Match every character of the native USDC contract before you deposit.
Why is ETH required if I only hold USDC?
Because USDC is not gas on Arbitrum One. ETH is. The ARB token is not gas either. This route does not buy ETH. Keep some ETH on chain id 42161 if you need to move the USDC after Arbiscan shows it. POL was only the Polygon fee.
Can I keep Tether instead?
Not on this page. Arbitrum Tether is 0xFd086bC7CD5C481DCC9C85ebE478A1C0b69FCbb9. Circle and Tether are different issuers. Switch outputs before you approve the Polygon USDT. Polygonscan should show 0xc2132D05D31c914a87C6611C10748AEb04B58e8F, not an Ethereum contract. Tether and Circle are different issuers, so the output name matters. Read the output contract on the quote before you sign.
