Cheap activity on Arbitrum
Fees on Arbitrum are a fraction of Ethereum mainnet. Once your ETH is there, every swap and transaction costs far less gas.
No bridge UI, no account
We are not a bridge or a bridging app. You send ETH once, and ETH lands at your address on Arbitrum. No sign-up.
No market risk
Both sides are the same asset, so you are not betting on price, you are changing networks. The amount you land on is locked before you send.
Your coins do not sit with us
We do not hold a balance. ETH comes in and goes straight out to your Arbitrum address.
ETH on Ethereum and ETH on Arbitrum are the same asset on two different networks. Send on Ethereum mainnet (L1), and give a receiving address on Arbitrum. The address format is identical, a 0x one, so your wallet will accept it on either network; select Arbitrum One before sending. The swap goes through after Ethereum network confirmations. The exact rate and minimum are shown right in the swap form. Most people make this move because they plan to be active on L2: on mainnet every action costs real gas, while the same activity on Arbitrum runs on small change. The deposit itself is an ordinary L1 transfer, and it only gets pricey during busy hours. As the receiver, switch the wallet to Arbitrum One before you look for the money, and check that it shows an ETH balance there. The exchange starts after 12 confirmations on Ethereum — usually about 3 min.

FAQ
Do I need to sign up or pass a check?
No account, and no identity check on the person swapping. The amount and an Arbitrum address are the whole form. Automated screening looks at the funds arriving into the order, not at you. A deposit that cannot be cleared does not move on: it goes back to an address the sender controls.
Are you a bridge?
No. You send ETH on Ethereum mainnet, and we send ETH to your address on Arbitrum at a fixed rate. No bridging app and no account.
The 0x address is the same on both networks, what if I pick the wrong one?
Ethereum and Arbitrum share the same 0x address format, so your wallet will accept it on either network. Pick the wrong network and the funds are stuck on a chain you did not mean to use, recoverable only by hand through support. Select Arbitrum One in your wallet before sending, and message @swappsy if unsure.
Is ETH on Arbitrum the same ether I hold now?
The same asset, on a different network: on-chain, ETH on L1 and ETH on Arbitrum are separate balances. That is why the move is priced at the rate the form shows before you send, rather than passing across one for one. Crossing networks is not free, but the figure is locked once you start.
How long does the move to Arbitrum take?
The deposit side sets the pace: the swap starts once your transfer clears Ethereum mainnet confirmations, and mainnet is middling rather than quick, though it rarely drags. The credit on Arbitrum after that lands fast, it is one of the quick networks. We do not promise exact minutes, because mainnet load changes through the day.
What exactly lands in my wallet?
ETH on Arbitrum One: the same coin, on its own L2 network. Switch the wallet to Arbitrum One to see it. The address is the same 0x one, but a balance only shows on the selected network. There is no custom token to add, this is the native ETH of that network.
Where do the funds go if the swap cannot be finished?
Leave a refund address with the order. If the exchange cannot be completed, the deposit goes back there in the asset you sent, to an address under your control, rather than sitting somewhere unclear.
