Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much OP to send and enter your Avalanche address on Avalanche C-Chain.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer OP to the address on your order — after confirmations, AVAX is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- 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.
- AVAX 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.
Avalanche — fast smart-contract L1
AVAX is the native token of Avalanche C-Chain — quick finality, EVM compatibility, and deep cross-chain liquidity.
AVAX not received?
Confirm your wallet is set to Avalanche C-Chain and fully synced.
AVAX payout tips
- Payouts go to Avalanche C-Chain — use a 0x-style address compatible with your wallet.
- Check Snowtrace or a similar explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Allow a minute for your wallet to refresh after the explorer shows the transfer.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap OP to AVAX?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Optimism to Avalanche swaps.
How long does OP to AVAX take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Optimism mainnet and Avalanche C-Chain confirmations and current network load.
Is OP to AVAX non-custodial?
Yes. You send OP from your wallet and receive AVAX directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send OP on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Optimism mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
