How the USDT BEP20 → USDT Optimism order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator and press the exchange button.
- Enter a USDT address in Optimism and a way to reach you.
- Send USDT BEP20 in BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, Tether Optimism leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending USDT BEP20
- The address network is Optimism. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.

- Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon all use the same address shape (0x…). Make sure the wallet is switched to OP Mainnet (Optimism).
- To move USDT 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.

| 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) |

How this differs from a classic bridge
| RubyCash | Classic bridge | |
|---|---|---|
| What lands at your address | USDT in OP Mainnet (Optimism) | 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 OP Mainnet (Optimism) | Not needed to receive | Often needed, or the funds cannot be claimed or moved on |
| Timing | After confirmations in BNB Smart Chain; 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 |
