Exchange Tether Arbitrum (USDT) to Optimism (OP)

Swap USDT on the Arbitrum network for OP on Optimism with CryptoChicken. The minimum order is 1,000 USDT, the maximum is 15,000 USDT per transaction. Current OP reserve: 277,273.77 OP, which covers requests across the full allowed range without splitting.

USDT is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, so the rate is locked the moment your order is created. You see the exact amount of OP you will receive before sending funds, with no recalculation if the market moves during the transfer.

Network speed and fees

Arbitrum confirms USDT transfers within seconds at a fraction of a cent in gas. OP payouts on Optimism arrive in under a minute once your deposit is confirmed. Both are Ethereum L2 networks, so total transfer costs stay below $1 in most conditions.

Why move from USDT to OP

OP is the governance token of the Optimism Collective and is used for voting on protocol decisions and ecosystem grants. Converting stablecoin holdings into OP gives you direct exposure to the Optimism L2 economy.
