Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much OP to send and enter your Ethereum (Base) address on Base mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer OP to the address on your order — after confirmations, ETH 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.
- ETH not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.

Base ETH not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Base mainnet and fully synced — not Ethereum L1.
Base ETH payout tips
- Payouts go to Base — verify your wallet network is Base (chain ID 8453).
- Check Basescan with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Bridging to Ethereum L1 is a separate step after you receive ETH on Base.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap OP to ETH?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Optimism to Ethereum (Base) swaps.
How long does OP to ETH take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Optimism mainnet and Base mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is OP to ETH non-custodial?
Yes. You send OP from your wallet and receive ETH 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.
