How the swap works
-
Type the OP amount and paste your Tether payout address on ERC-20 on Ethereum.
-
Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.
-
Broadcast OP to that deposit. After the required confirmations, USDT is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- 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.
- If USDT has not appeared yet, wait a few minutes and refresh the wallet. When the order already shows a payout tx, contact support with your order ID.
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 — USD-pegged stablecoin
USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) is widely used in DeFi — send only on Ethereum mainnet.
Receiving ERC-20 USDT
Set your wallet to Ethereum mainnet with the USDT token visible.

Frequently asked questions
Does OP to USDT require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Optimism to Tether.
How long until USDT arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Optimism mainnet deposit confirmations and ERC-20 on Ethereum payout time set the wait.
Do you hold OP or USDT for me?
No. You send OP from a wallet you control and USDT is paid to the address you provide — PeakSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send OP on the wrong chain?
Use Optimism mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited — read the swap safety notes first.
