How the OP Optimism → ADA order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 2,157.5 OP Optimism.
- Enter a ADA address in Cardano and a way to reach you.
- Send OP Optimism in Optimism for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, Cardano leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending OP Optimism
- The address network is Cardano. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 2,157.5 OP Optimism.
- 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 does the 2,157.5 OP Optimism floor come from?

How long does OP Optimism to ADA take?

Which network will ADA arrive in?
Cardano leaves in its own Cardano network — a plain ADA address is all you need.
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.
