USDC: moving from OP Mainnet (Optimism) to Ethereum
The same USDC, only in another network: send USDC Optimism and collect USDC ERC20 at your own address in Ethereum. No bridge contracts, no signatures, no wrapped tokens.

The figure is indicative; the exact amount is locked in the order.
The direction runs at 1.0001 USDC ERC20 per USDC Optimism, or 0.9999 USDC Optimism per USDC ERC20. Market over 24 hours: USDC Optimism against USDC ERC20 a move of 0%. The week added a move of 0%.
The weekly corridor ran from 1 to 1 USDC ERC20, a spread of 0%. A single order takes 200 to 10,000,000 USDC Optimism. In dollars that is roughly $200.00.
The payout leaves in the Ethereum (ERC20) network, so the receiving address has to belong to that network.
Who takes the USDC Optimism → USDC ERC20 route
- Moving between networksUSDC in Optimism (fee ≈ $0.00015) becomes Ethereum (ERC20) (fee ≈ $0.0047) — the usual way to top up a wallet or an exchange that speaks one network only.
- A road both waysThe USDC ERC20 → USDC Optimism direction is open too, so going back into USDC takes the same route.

Payout network for USDC
The same USDC goes out in several networks. Rates and lower limits differ, and the fee is charged by the network itself.
| Network | Per USDC Optimism | From | Network fee | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum (ERC20) open now | 1.0001 | 200 USDC Optimism | ≈ $0.0047 | medium |
| Solana | 1.0001 | 200 USDC Optimism | ≈ $0.00048 | fast |
| Polygon | 1.0001 | 200 USDC Optimism | ≈ $0.0012 | fast |

How the USDC Optimism → USDC ERC20 order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 200 USDC Optimism.
- Enter a USDC address in Ethereum (ERC20) and a way to reach you.
- Send USDC Optimism in Optimism for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, USD Coin ERC20 leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending USDC Optimism
- The address network is Ethereum (ERC20). Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 200 USDC 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.
- To move USDC on later, put a little ETH at the same address.
- 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 | ≈ $0.00015 | ≈ $0.0047 |
| 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 | USDC 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 |
