ETH: moving from Ethereum to OP Mainnet (Optimism)
The same ETH, only in another network: send ETH and collect ETH Optimism at your own address in OP Mainnet (Optimism). No bridge contracts, no signatures, no wrapped tokens.

The figure is indicative; the exact amount is locked in the order.
One ETH buys 0.999 ETH Optimism right now; the other way round, 1 ETH Optimism is 1.001 ETH. Market over 24 hours: ETH against ETH Optimism a move of 0%. The week added a move of 0%.
The weekly corridor ran from 1 to 1 ETH Optimism, a spread of 0%. A single order takes 2.95 to 4,060 ETH. In dollars that is roughly $7,259.15.
The payout leaves in the Optimism network, so the receiving address has to belong to that network.
Who takes the ETH → ETH Optimism route
- Moving between networksETH in Ethereum (fee ≈ $0.013) becomes Optimism (fee ≈ < $0.0001) — the usual way to top up a wallet or an exchange that speaks one network only.
- A road both waysThe ETH Optimism → ETH direction is open too, so going back into ETH takes the same route.

Payout network for ETH
The same ETH goes out in several networks. Rates and lower limits differ, and the fee is charged by the network itself.
| Network | Per ETH | From | Network fee | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arbitrum One | 0.999 | 2.95 ETH | ≈ $0.0011 | fast |
| BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) | 0.999 | 2.95 ETH | ≈ $0.0024 | fast |
| Optimism open now | 0.999 | 2.95 ETH | ≈ < $0.0001 | fast |
| BASE | 1.0025 | — | — | — |
How the ETH → ETH Optimism order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 2.95 ETH.
- Enter a ETH address in Optimism and a way to reach you.
- Send ETH in Ethereum for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, Ethereum Optimism leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending ETH
- The address network is Optimism. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 2.95 ETH.
- Copy the address whole, then compare the first and last characters after pasting.
- Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon all use the same address shape (0x…). Make sure the wallet is switched to OP Mainnet (Optimism).
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.
Ethereum against OP Mainnet (Optimism)
| Ethereum | OP Mainnet (Optimism) | |
|---|---|---|
| Network type | Layer one (L1) | L2, optimistic rollup |
| Fees are paid in | ETH | ETH |
| Fee level | ≈ $0.013 | ≈ < $0.0001 |
| Speed | medium | fast |
| Block | ~12 sec | ~2 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 in OP Mainnet (Optimism) | 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 OP Mainnet (Optimism) | Not needed to receive | Often needed, or the funds cannot be claimed or moved on |
| Timing | After confirmations in Ethereum; the order page tracks it | Depends on the bridge and the load of both networks |
| Who holds the funds meanwhile | RubyCash for the life of the order, with an AML check | The bridge contract or its validators |

Common questions: ETH → ETH Optimism
What rate does ETH to ETH Optimism run at?
As of Sep 17, 2026 16:38 it is 1 ETH = 0.999 ETH Optimism. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $2,458.27.
What amounts does ETH → ETH Optimism accept?
From 2.95 to 4,060 ETH per order. The lower limit is roughly $7,259.15.
Where does the 2.95 ETH floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 2.95 ETH the swap stops making sense for either side.
What else is taken on top of the rate?
The payout is already calculated at the rate in the calculator. On top of it you only pay the network fee for sending ETH, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does ETH to ETH Optimism take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Ethereum confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Ethereum closes in about 12 sec.
Will native ETH arrive, or a wrapper?
Native. ETH Optimism is the network's own coin in OP Mainnet (Optimism), and its fees are paid in it too.
Do I need ETH to receive ETH Optimism?
No. Fees in OP Mainnet (Optimism) are paid in ETH Optimism, so no separate coin is needed.
What is wrong with the official OP Mainnet (Optimism) bridge?
An official deposit from Ethereum into OP Mainnet (Optimism) means connecting a wallet and signing a contract transaction. Here you simply send ETH to the address from the order.
Which network will ETH Optimism arrive in?
The payout leaves in Optimism. Make sure the receiving wallet works with that network.
Where is receiving ETH cheaper?
The cheapest is usually ETH Arbitrum, ETH BEP20, ETH Optimism. Still, the network is chosen by what the recipient supports, not by the fee.
What if the rate moves while I am paying?
The rate is pinned to the order and does not move while the order is alive. It can be recalculated if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.
What did the ETH to ETH Optimism rate do this month?
The month came in at a move of 0%. Low 1, high 1, middle 1 ETH Optimism per ETH.
Can I go back, ETH Optimism to ETH?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ETH Optimism = 1.0055 ETH. The link sits right under the calculator.
