Things to know

  • Gas on Ethereum only. You pay gas in ETH on Ethereum. The Arbitrum network fee is deducted from the amount shown, so you do not need ETH on Arbitrum to receive.
  • USDT0 on Arbitrum. The USDT that L2Pass Swap delivers on Arbitrum is USDT0.
  • Refunds. On-chain routes revert (gas is not refundable). Deposit-address routes return your deposit to the refund address; provider and network fees may be deducted.
  • No partial fills. A swap completes in full or does not execute.
  • Compliance checks. No account or KYC is needed for regular use, though a provider may request extra checks for a specific transaction. If a provider flags a swap as high risk under AML or sanctions rules, it decides whether to complete, refund or hold it, and a refund is not guaranteed.
