Swap USDT from Solana to ARB on Arbitrum One

Swap USDT from Solana to ARB on Arbitrum One. Tether's SPL mint leaves Solana, and the ARB token is what can arrive. A dollar becomes governance exposure, and that token does not pay gas.

You send Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB. Phantom signs, Solscan shows the mint, and there is no ERC-20 approval. ARB is 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 on chain id 42161, not Nova. Arbiscan is the check. ETH is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. If you needed USDC, WETH, or fees, this is the wrong arrival. Ethereum is chain id 1, about 12 second blocks, Etherscan, and it is not where ARB from this route appears.

You are taking price risk on purpose

Tether is built to stay near a dollar. ARB is not. The minimum received is your only guard. This page is wrong when the policy is to remain in Tether or Circle, and wrong when the Arbitrum account is only short of ETH. It is also wrong if the ARB you wanted is on another network. Chain id 42161 or nothing.

Two fee coins, and ARB is not one of them

SOL pays Phantom. ETH pays Arbitrum One. The mint and the governance token pay neither. Arrive with ARB and no ETH and you cannot move it. Leave with zero SOL and you never start. There is no ERC-20 approval on the SPL side to confuse with a gas payment. Do not put 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 in the fee slot.

Nova and mainnet will both look empty

Arbiscan on Arbitrum One is the credit. Solscan is the debit. Etherscan will not help, and its about 12 second blocks are not a schedule. How to bridge assets between chains covers switching wallets. If you refresh MetaMask on the wrong chain id, a successful hop looks like a loss. Fix the network before you sign again.

Dollar routes exist if ARB was accidental

USDT to USDC lands in Circle at 0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831. USDT to ETH buys gas. USDT to WETH buys the wrapper. Use those when they match the request. This page is only for the governance token. Read the minimum. Do not let a stablecoin ticker on the input hide a volatile output.

Frequently asked questions

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

You send Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB. Phantom signs, Solscan shows the mint, and there is no ERC-20 approval.

Will ARB from Solana USDT pay Arbitrum fees?

No. ARB at 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 does not pay gas. ETH does, on Arbitrum One, chain id 42161, not Nova. Tether's mint left Solana. Hold ETH before you transfer ARB. Check Arbiscan. If you needed fees, this route is the wrong asset. Do not send a second time while the first transfer is still open.

Is this a way to keep a dollar on Arbitrum?

No. The arrival is ARB, which can move away from the Tether you spent at Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB. Circle USDC is a different contract. If the receiver wants a stablecoin, switch routes. There is no ERC-20 approval on the Solana mint. The minimum ARB is the floor.

Which explorer shows the USDT leaving?

Solscan, for the SPL mint, signed in Phantom with native SOL. Arbiscan shows ARB later on chain id 42161. Etherscan, chain id 1, about 12 second blocks, is neither side of this hop. Keep SOL for the source fee. This page does not promise when the ARB row updates.
