Exchange Optimism (OP) to Tether ERC20 (USDT)

Swap OP from the Optimism Layer 2 network into USDT on Ethereum mainnet to lock in your gains in a stable asset. Once the exchange is complete, your balance is denominated in dollars — the USDT rate stays fixed regardless of what OP does next, so you can hold the funds in any ERC20-compatible wallet without further exposure to altcoin volatility.

CryptoChicken processes orders between 2,000 and 15,000 OP per transaction. Current USDT (ERC20) reserve sits at over 22.6 million, which covers the full maximum without splitting the order.

Network fees and speed

OP transfers on Optimism settle in seconds with fees typically under $0.01. The USDT payout goes out on Ethereum mainnet, where network fees depend on current gas prices — confirmation usually takes 1–3 minutes after the required block confirmations on the OP side.

Why convert to USDT

Holding USDT means your capital is parked at a 1:1 USD peg. Use it to wait out market swings, move into another asset later, or send across exchanges and DeFi protocols on Ethereum.
