Swap ETH to ARB with Arbitrum Wallet Delivery
Exchange Ethereum for the ARB token and receive the payout directly on Arbitrum One. ETH is deposited on Ethereum mainnet, while the receive side delivers ARB to the Arbitrum destination entered for the order.
This route should not be confused with bridging ETH to Arbitrum. It changes both the asset and the network: the user sends ETH on Ethereum and receives ARB on Arbitrum One.
Current ETH to ARB Rate and Common Amounts
The live ETH/ARB rate shows how much ARB one Ether currently represents for this pair. The executable quote can also reflect route liquidity, rate mode and the costs associated with settling the payout on Arbitrum One.
| ETH | ARB (estimated) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 ETH | 1,335 ARB |
| 0.5 ETH | 6,676 ARB |
| 1 ETH | 13,351 ARB |
| 2 ETH | 26,703 ARB |
| 5 ETH | 66,757 ARB |
| 10 ETH | 133,515 ARB |
The amount table is a reference for this canonical pair page. The exchange widget remains the source of the live order estimate.
How ETH Is Exchanged for ARB on Arbitrum One
The order begins with an Ethereum mainnet deposit and ends with an ARB token payout on Arbitrum One. The two transaction stages are connected by the exchange order rather than by the user manually bridging the same asset.
- 1
Enter the ETH amount and review the current ARB quote.
- 2
Add the Arbitrum One destination where you want to receive ARB.
- 3
Send ETH to the generated Ethereum deposit address.
- 4
After the required confirmations and service processing, ARB is sent on Arbitrum One.

ARB Is the Token; ETH Pays Gas on Arbitrum
ARB is the governance token associated with the Arbitrum ecosystem, but it is not the standard gas asset used for ordinary transactions on Arbitrum One. ETH is used to pay transaction gas on Arbitrum, so receiving ARB does not automatically give the wallet an ETH balance for future gas.
| Role on Arbitrum One | Asset |
|---|---|
| ARB token balance | ARB |
| Standard transaction gas | ETH |
| Payout from this route | ARB |
If the user plans to move or interact with the received ARB later, the destination wallet may also need ETH on Arbitrum for transaction fees. The broader network context is covered in the Ethereum Layer 2 guide.
ETH to ARB Swap vs Bridging ETH to Arbitrum
A swap and a bridge can both involve Ethereum and Arbitrum, but they solve different tasks. This page changes the asset from ETH into ARB, while a bridge generally moves ETH or another supported token between Ethereum and an Arbitrum network without necessarily changing the asset.
| Action | Asset before | Asset after | Main purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| ETH → ARB swap | ETH on Ethereum | ARB on Arbitrum One | Change asset and destination network |
| Bridge ETH to Arbitrum | ETH on Ethereum | ETH on Arbitrum | Move ETH to another network |
If your goal is to keep ETH and only move it between networks, see how to bridge ETH instead of treating this pair page as a bridge guide.
What to Check Before Sending ETH
The receive side must be configured for ARB on Arbitrum One rather than ETH on Arbitrum or ARB on an unrelated network. Review the destination and order details before funding the Ethereum deposit.
- Confirm that the deposit side is ETH on Ethereum mainnet.
- Confirm that the receive asset is ARB on Arbitrum One.
- Verify that the destination wallet supports the ARB token on Arbitrum.
- Review the current receive amount and live order limits.
- Keep enough ETH for Ethereum gas on the deposit transaction.
Fees, Limits and Rate Type
The current order quote reflects the route available for the ETH-to-ARB conversion. The service fee, Ethereum deposit gas and Arbitrum payout cost are separate concepts and should not be described as one universal fee.
No additional service fee is added after order creation. For the send-side network cost, see how Ethereum gas fees work.
Swap ETH to ARB Without a Persistent Account
Eligible swaps can start without creating a persistent trading account. The order sends ARB directly to the destination used for that transaction rather than keeping it in an internal trading balance.
Risk-based transaction screening still applies. Additional verification may be requested for flagged orders under the AML Policy.
Why Users Convert ETH to ARB
A user may need ARB because the next wallet or application expects the Arbitrum governance token rather than ETH. The conversion can create an ARB balance on Arbitrum One without requiring a separate fiat step.
Fund an ARB token balance
Receive ARB directly on Arbitrum One
Prepare an ARB transfer
Hold the token required by the destination workflow
Participate in ARB-token functionality
Move value into the governance token rather than ETH
Avoid a fiat intermediate step
Convert ETH to ARB as a crypto-to-crypto order
This is not an investment recommendation. ARB and ETH play different operational roles on Arbitrum, and the destination may still need ETH for gas.
Start Your ETH to ARB Swap
Verify that the receive side shows ARB on Arbitrum One and review the current quote before creating the order. When those details are correct, return to the widget and use the live transaction values shown there.
FAQ
Do I receive ARB on Arbitrum One?
Yes. The configured route pays the ARB token on Arbitrum One to the destination entered for the order.
Does ARB pay gas on Arbitrum?
For standard Arbitrum One transactions, ETH is the gas asset. ARB is a governance token, so a wallet holding ARB may still need ETH on Arbitrum for future transaction fees.
Is swapping ETH to ARB the same as bridging ETH to Arbitrum?
No. This route changes ETH into ARB. Bridging ETH normally keeps the asset as ETH while moving it from Ethereum to an Arbitrum network.
What is the minimum order?
The site-level starting point is about $10 equivalent, while the live route minimum displayed in the widget takes priority.
How long does the exchange take?
Typical service processing is 5–11 minutes after required blockchain confirmations. Ethereum confirmation time and Arbitrum payout settlement are separate stages.
Do I need an account?
Eligible swaps can start without a persistent trading account. Risk-based screening still applies, and flagged orders can require additional verification.
How are fees handled?
The estimated service fee is 0.27%–1.43%. Ethereum gas is paid separately, while payout-side network costs are reflected in the quote where applicable.
Can I use a fixed rate?
Floating rate is the default. A fixed-rate option is available only on selected routes when shown in the exchange widget.
