How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the ARB asset and Ethereum network you currently hold.

2. Review the route

Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and BNB Chain destination network.

3. Create the order

Open the live route and follow the exact deposit instructions.

4. Track delivery

Use the receipt and status page until the destination funds arrive.

What you need to know

ARB source representation

Arbitrum is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. ARB uses a network-specific contract asset on Ethereum. The Ethereum side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. Sending ARB can require a token allowance, while ETH—not ARB—must fund Arbitrum gas. Verify the outbound ARB contract if the source is not Arbitrum.

EVM-to-EVM execution boundary

Ethereum and BNB Chain can use the same 0x address syntax, but they are separate networks with different chain identifiers, gas balances, token contracts, and transaction histories.

ARB destination representation

Arbitrum is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. ARB uses a network-specific contract asset on BNB Chain. The recorded BNB Chain representation uses 18 decimal places. A receiving wallet should show the exact ARB contract on the destination. Receipt does not fund ETH gas for later token movement.

BNB Chain receipt-side execution

BNB Chain is a L1 EVM network in the BNB Chain ecosystem. BNB pays destination-side network gas on BNB Chain. EVM 0x account address A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas.

Ethereum deposit-side execution

Ethereum is a L1 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Ethereum. EVM 0x account address An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit.

Ethereum to BNB Chain bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Ethereum; using a destination that is not valid for BNB Chain; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. Sending ARB can require a token allowance, while ETH—not ARB—must fund Arbitrum gas. Verify the outbound ARB contract if the source is not Arbitrum. A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas. A receiving wallet should show the exact ARB contract on the destination. Receipt does not fund ETH gas for later token movement.

Private Route for ARB → ARB

Ethereum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and BNB Chain wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this ARB on Ethereum to ARB on BNB Chain path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.

Ethereum to BNB Chain FAQs

What ARB representation leaves Ethereum?

ARB is a contract representation on Ethereum at 0xb50721bcf8d664c30412cfbc6cf7a15145234ad1. ETH, not ARB, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. Sending ARB can require a token allowance, while ETH—not ARB—must fund Arbitrum gas. Verify the outbound ARB contract if the source is not Arbitrum.

What ARB representation arrives on BNB Chain?

ARB is a contract representation on BNB Chain with 18 decimals at 0x0acdb582C1d5512Ea31fD64b9C07882CB31E494D. BNB, not ARB, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas. A receiving wallet should show the exact ARB contract on the destination. Receipt does not fund ETH gas for later token movement.

Does the same ARB ticker guarantee the same ledger form?

No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a ARB contract token and a ARB contract token. Match the source and output details in the live quote.

Which gas balances matter for this bridge?

An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas. The bridge output does not automatically fund every later gas need.

What destination address should be used?

EVM 0x account address Do not substitute a Ethereum address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

Sending on a network other than Ethereum, selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for BNB Chain can prevent normal detection or receipt.

Can I bridge ARB from Ethereum to BNB Chain without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live ARB Ethereum to BNB Chain quote. Verification requirements can depend on the provider, amount, jurisdiction, and current route. Sasquatch does not verify this route as universally no-KYC; check the live flow before continuing.
