What exactly leaves Arbitrum as BNB?
BNB is a contract representation on Arbitrum with 18 decimals at 0x20865e63B111B2649ef829EC220536c82C58ad7B. ETH, not BNB, pays gas unless both symbols are the same.

Native BNB can fund value and BSC gas, while tokenized BNB requires the source chain’s gas asset and contract handling.
