Exchange Tether TON (USDT) to Optimism (OP)

Swap USDT on the TON network for OP tokens on Optimism. Since USDT is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, the exchange rate is locked the moment you submit your order — no surprises while the transaction confirms. Send between 2,000 and 15,000 USDT per operation; the current OP reserve stands at 277,273.77 tokens, enough to cover the upper limit of the pair.

Network speed and fees

TON processes USDT transfers in seconds with fees under $0.10. Optimism, as an Ethereum L2, delivers OP withdrawals within a couple of minutes at a fraction of mainnet gas costs. Most orders complete in 5–10 minutes end to end.

Why enter crypto through USDT

Holding USDT before the swap protects you from volatility while you prepare the transaction. Once the rate is fixed at order creation, the amount of OP you receive does not change, regardless of market moves during confirmation.
