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

The direction runs at 1.0055 ETH per ETH Optimism, or 0.99452 ETH Optimism per ETH. Market over 24 hours: ETH Optimism against ETH a move of 0%. The week added a move of 0%.
The weekly corridor ran from 1 to 1 ETH, a spread of 0%. A single order takes 2.95 to 4,060 ETH Optimism. In dollars that is roughly $7,259.15.
Who takes the ETH Optimism → ETH route
- Moving between networksETH in Optimism (fee ≈ < $0.0001) becomes Ethereum (fee ≈ $0.013) — the usual way to top up a wallet or an exchange that speaks one network only.
- A road both waysThe ETH → ETH Optimism 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 Optimism | From | Network fee | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arbitrum One | 0.999 | 2.95 ETH Optimism | ≈ $0.0011 | fast |
| BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) | 0.999 | 2.95 ETH Optimism | ≈ $0.0024 | fast |

How the ETH Optimism → ETH order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 2.95 ETH Optimism.
- Enter a ETH address in Ethereum 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, Ethereum leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending ETH Optimism
- The address network is Ethereum. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 2.95 ETH Optimism.
- 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 Ethereum.
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.
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 | ≈ < $0.0001 | ≈ $0.013 |
| 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 in Ethereum | 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 |

Common questions: ETH Optimism → ETH
What rate does ETH Optimism to ETH run at?
As of Sep 17, 2026 16:38 it is 1 ETH Optimism = 1.0055 ETH. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $2,474.29.
What amounts does ETH Optimism → ETH accept?
From 2.95 to 4,060 ETH Optimism per order. The lower limit is roughly $7,259.15.
Where does the 2.95 ETH Optimism floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 2.95 ETH Optimism 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 Optimism, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does ETH Optimism to ETH take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Optimism confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Optimism closes in about 2 sec.
Will native ETH arrive, or a wrapper?
Native. ETH is the network's own coin in Ethereum, and its fees are paid in it too.
Do I need ETH to receive ETH?
No. Fees in Ethereum are paid in ETH, so no separate coin is needed.
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.
Which network will ETH arrive in?
Ethereum leaves in its own Ethereum network — a plain ETH address is all you need.
Where is receiving ETH cheaper?
The cheapest is usually ETH Arbitrum, ETH BEP20. 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 Optimism to ETH rate do this month?
The month came in at a move of 0%. Low 1, high 1, middle 1 ETH per ETH Optimism.
Can I go back, ETH to ETH Optimism?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ETH = 0.999 ETH Optimism. The link sits right under the calculator.
