Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XLM 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 XLM to the address on your order — after confirmations, OP is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Stellar confirmations are typically very fast — often within seconds.
- A minimum XLM balance may be required to activate or maintain your Stellar account.
- Use a Stellar mainnet address (starts with G…). Include a memo if your receive wallet or exchange requires one.
- 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.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
Sending XLM on Stellar
Send native XLM on Stellar mainnet from a compatible wallet.
If your payout destination requires a memo, enter it exactly on your order form — missing memos are a common support issue.
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 XLM to OP?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Stellar to Optimism swaps.
How long does XLM to OP take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Stellar mainnet and Optimism mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is XLM to OP non-custodial?
Yes. You send XLM from your wallet and receive OP directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send XLM on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Stellar mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
