Who takes the ETH Optimism → AVAX route
- Fuel for Avalanche C-ChainWithout Avalanche nothing moves in Avalanche C-Chain — every transfer and every contract call is paid in it.
- Different basketsDaily moves of ETH and AVAX over 90 days line up at 0.78 (they travel together) — the looser the link, the less a portfolio depends on one coin.
- A road both waysThe AVAX → ETH Optimism direction is open too, so going back into ETH takes the same route.

How the ETH Optimism → AVAX order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator and press the exchange button.
- Enter a AVAX address in Avalanche C-Chain and a way to reach you.
- Send ETH Optimism in Optimism for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, Avalanche leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending ETH Optimism
- The address network is Avalanche C-Chain. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- 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 Avalanche C-Chain.
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.
OP Mainnet (Optimism) against Avalanche C-Chain
| OP Mainnet (Optimism) | Avalanche C-Chain | |
|---|---|---|
| Network type | L2, optimistic rollup | Layer one (L1) |
| Fees are paid in | ETH | AVAX |
| Fee level | ≈ < $0.0001 | ≈ < $0.0001 |
| Speed | fast | fast |
| Block | ~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 AVAX in Avalanche C-Chain | Usually a wrapper like WBTC, which then has to be swapped |
| 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 Avalanche C-Chain | 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 | 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 |
