Keep Arbitrum selected as the exact network for every receive and send action. NordBalticum separates Arbitrum balances from other EVM chains, uses ETH for the network fee and keeps transaction approval under your self-custody authority.
Ethereum Layer 2
ETH pays Arbitrum fees
Route matching matters
01
Arbitrum is its own route
An exchange deposit or withdrawal must name Arbitrum rather than only showing a compatible address.
02
Gas belongs on Arbitrum
The ETH used for Arbitrum fees must be available on the Arbitrum network.
03
Assets keep chain identity
A ticker shared with another network does not guarantee the same contract or receiving support.
Layer 2 context prevents expensive assumptions
Arbitrum uses EVM-compatible addresses, but transactions and balances remain separate from Ethereum mainnet and other Layer 2 networks. A matching address is not proof that a receiving platform supports the chosen chain.
Read the complete network label at both ends of a transfer. If the destination does not explicitly list Arbitrum for the asset, stop and verify before sending.
Review the route before speed or fee
Lower fees can make a network attractive, but the correct route still comes first. Keep enough ETH on Arbitrum for gas and review any bridge as a distinct third-party or protocol interaction.
NordBalticum presents the intended transaction for authorization; final execution and confirmation belong to the Arbitrum network.
