Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much USDT to send and enter your Optimism address on Optimism mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer USDT to the address on your order — after confirmations, OP is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- ERC-20 USDT follows Ethereum confirmation times.
- Send USDT on Ethereum mainnet only — not Tron TRC-20.
- Leave ETH in your wallet for gas when sending ERC-20 USDT.
- OP not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Tether — dollar-pegged stablecoin
USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) is widely used in DeFi — send only on Ethereum mainnet.
USDT on Ethereum mainnet
Use an ERC-20 compatible Ethereum address. TRC-20 USDT is a different asset.
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 not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Optimism mainnet and fully synced.
OP payout tips
- Payouts go to Optimism — verify your wallet RPC is set to Optimism, not Ethereum mainnet.
- Check Optimistic Etherscan 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 USDT to OP?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Tether to Optimism swaps.
How long does USDT to OP take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on ERC-20 on Ethereum and Optimism mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is USDT to OP non-custodial?
Yes. You send USDT from your wallet and receive OP directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send USDT on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (ERC-20 on Ethereum for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
