OP Mainnet (Optimism) against Ethereum
| OP Mainnet (Optimism) | Ethereum | |
|---|---|---|
| Network type | L2, optimistic rollup | Layer one (L1) |
| Fees are paid in | ETH | ETH |
| Fee level | low | high |
| Speed | fast | medium |
| Block | ~2 sec | ~12 sec |
| Address shape | 0x… | 0x… |
| Memo or tag | not needed | not needed |
| Ethereum-style address (0x…) | yes | yes |
| Official withdrawal to Ethereum | ≈ 7 days (challenge period) | — |
Fee and speed levels are comparative: both move with how busy the network is.
How this differs from a classic bridge
| RubyCash | Classic bridge | |
|---|---|---|
| What lands at your address | Native ETH or ordinary Ethereum tokens | Depends: in some networks it is the bridged version of the token |
| Wallet and signatures | Not needed: the coins go to the address from the order | Needed: connect the wallet and sign contract transactions |
| A coin for fees in Ethereum | Not needed to receive | Often needed, or the funds cannot be claimed or moved on |
| Timing | After confirmations in OP Mainnet (Optimism); the order page tracks it | ≈ 7 days for the official withdrawal from OP Mainnet (Optimism) to Ethereum |
| Who holds the funds meanwhile | RubyCash for the life of the order, with an AML check | The bridge contract or its validators |
Moving from OP Mainnet (Optimism) to Ethereum, step by step
- Pick a route in the table above and work out the amount in the calculator on its page.
- Enter your own address in Ethereum (0x…).
- Send the coins in OP Mainnet (Optimism) to the address from the order, for exactly the amount stated.
- Once OP Mainnet (Optimism) confirms the transfer, the coins leave for your address in Ethereum. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending to Ethereum
- The receiving address has to belong to Ethereum (0x…).
- Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon all use the same address shape (0x…). Make sure the wallet is switched to Ethereum.
- Send the coins in OP Mainnet (Optimism) only: a transfer through another network never reaches the order.
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.
Common questions: OP Mainnet (Optimism) → Ethereum
How do I get coins from OP Mainnet (Optimism) into Ethereum?
Through an exchange order: you send coins in OP Mainnet (Optimism) and ETH, USDC, USDT and DAI arrive at your address in Ethereum. No bridge contracts, no wallet to connect, no wrappers.
What can be moved from OP Mainnet (Optimism) into Ethereum?
Right now: ETH, USDC, USDT and DAI. Rates and floors are in the table above.
How long does the move from OP Mainnet (Optimism) to Ethereum take?
First the confirmations in OP Mainnet (Optimism), then the send into Ethereum. After that it comes down to how busy the networks are. A block in OP Mainnet (Optimism) closes in about 2 sec.
What pays the fees in Ethereum?
The ETH coin. You do not need it to receive funds — only later, when you decide to move them on.
Which address does Ethereum need?
An address in Ethereum: 0x… A plain Ethereum-style address (0x…) works, but the wallet has to be switched to Ethereum.
What is wrong with the official OP Mainnet (Optimism) bridge?
The official withdrawal from OP Mainnet (Optimism) to Ethereum waits around seven days — that is the challenge period of an optimistic rollup. Here ETH arrives as soon as the order is processed.
