Swap Ether (ETH) on Ethereum

Swap Ether (ETH) on Ethereum when the wallet is on chain id 1 and you have left enough ETH for gas after the amount you sell.

If you sell your entire ETH balance, the transaction cannot pay for itself. Keep a remainder. Wrapped Ether is 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2. Swapping ETH to USDC is not the same trade as unwrapping WETH. A 30 basis point fee on 1,000 dollars is about 3 dollars, and Ethereum gas can be larger. Read both lines. XAUConnect does not hold the ETH.

When to skip it

Skip the swap if the minimum received is below your floor, or if MetaMask is on Base or Arbitrum. Those balances are not this ETH.

Leave gas, then read the floor

Selling every ETH fails because the fee is also ETH. Leave a remainder. If the pool wants an ERC-20, the asset is WETH, not this balance. Chain id 1 is required. The longer note is trade on Ethereum.
