Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the OP amount and paste your Tether payout address on ERC-20 on Ethereum.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send OP to that deposit. After confirmations, USDT is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Optimism confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send OP on Optimism mainnet only — not Ethereum, Base, or Arbitrum unless your order says otherwise.
- Use an Optimism-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Optimism for gas if sending ERC-20 tokens.
- USDT not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Optimism — Ethereum L2 with low fees
OP is the governance token of Optimism — an Ethereum rollup with fast, low-cost transfers and deep Superchain liquidity.
OP on Optimism mainnet
Use an Optimism wallet for deposits. L1 Ethereum or other L2 sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH on Optimism for gas when moving OP or other tokens.
Tether — dollar-pegged stablecoin
USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) is widely used in DeFi — send only on Ethereum mainnet.
Receiving ERC-20 USDT
Your wallet must be on Ethereum mainnet with the USDT token visible.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade OP for USDT?
No. GetSwap is a NO-KYC & Privacy-First Crypto Exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Optimism → Tether.
How long is a OP → USDT order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Optimism mainnet and ERC-20 on Ethereum confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody OP or USDT?
No. You send OP yourself and USDT is paid to the address you enter — GetSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
What if I pick the wrong OP network?
Match the network printed on the order (Optimism mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
