The figure is indicative; the exact amount is locked in the order.
The direction runs at 0.00458598 ETH Optimism per LINK, or 218.0559 LINK per ETH Optimism. Market over 24 hours: LINK against ETH Optimism plus 0.68%. The week added minus 4.11%.
The weekly corridor ran from 0.00446662 to 0.00480864 ETH Optimism, a spread of 7.66%. A single order takes 17.6627 to 898,000 LINK. In dollars that is roughly $196.59.
The payout leaves in the Optimism network, so the receiving address has to belong to that network. By market cap Chainlink sits 17th ($8.33 B) and Ethereum 2th ($297.7 B). Daily moves of LINK and ETH over 90 days line up at 0.78 (they travel together).
Who takes the LINK → ETH Optimism route
- Fuel for OptimismWithout Ethereum nothing moves in Optimism — every transfer and every contract call is paid in it.
- Different basketsDaily moves of LINK and ETH 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 ETH Optimism → LINK direction is open too, so going back into LINK takes the same route.

How the LINK → ETH Optimism order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 17.6627 LINK.
- Enter a ETH address in Optimism and a way to reach you.
- Send LINK in Chainlink 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 LINK
- The address network is Optimism. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 17.6627 LINK.
- Copy the address whole, then compare the first and last characters after pasting.
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.

Where is receiving ETH cheaper?
The cheapest is usually ETH BEP20, ETH Arbitrum, 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.
