What exactly leaves Arbitrum as ARB?
ARB is a contract representation on Arbitrum at 0x912ce59144191c1204e64559fe8253a0e49e6548. ETH, not ARB, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. 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 exactly arrives on Ethereum as BNB?
BNB is a contract representation on Ethereum at 0xb8c77482e45f1f44de1745f52c74426c631bdd52. ETH, not BNB, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract. Native BSC receipt can fund BNB gas, while externally bridged BNB arrives as a representation that needs the destination chain’s gas token.
Why does the ARB to BNB direction matter?
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. On receipt, Native BSC receipt can fund BNB gas, while externally bridged BNB arrives as a representation that needs the destination chain’s gas token.
What changes between the source and destination asset roles?
ARB is the deposited token input; BNB is the quoted native-asset output. Source allowance or native-spend rules and destination wallet/representation checks are evaluated separately.
What should be matched before sending ARB?
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. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. An Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract. Native BSC receipt can fund BNB gas, while externally bridged BNB arrives as a representation that needs the destination chain’s gas token.
What funds the Arbitrum source transaction?
ETH is the native gas asset for Arbitrum. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. ARB is token-tracked and can need approval before transfer.
What is the most dangerous wrong-network mistake here?
Sending ARB on a network other than Arbitrum, or using an address that is not valid for Ethereum, can prevent detection or delivery. Match both network labels and representations to the active route.
Can I swap ARB on Arbitrum to BNB on Ethereum without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live ARB Arbitrum to BNB Ethereum 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.
