Leaving Arbitrum L2 for BNB Chain L1

Arbitrum inclusion and its ethereum settlement are distinct from final receipt on BNB Chain. The live route, rather than a generic rollup withdrawal assumption, determines the provider path and timing for this direction.

Arbitrum deposit-side execution

Arbitrum is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Arbitrum. EVM 0x account address On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval.

Select a BNB Chain-compatible output

EVM 0x account address BNB is the native gas asset for BNB Chain. The quote identifies whether the delivered asset is native, contract-based, or bridged.

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.

Arbitrum to BNB Chain bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Arbitrum; using a destination that is not valid for BNB Chain; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. A BNB Smart Chain receipt uses the BEP-20 contract or native BNB balance selected by the route; later token movement needs BNB gas.

Private Route for USDC → USDC

Arbitrum 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 USDC on Arbitrum to USDC 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.
