Who takes the USDT Polygon → USDT Optimism route
- Moving between networksUSDT in Polygon (fee ≈ $0.00015) becomes Optimism (fee ≈ $0.00015) — the usual way to top up a wallet or an exchange that speaks one network only.
- A road both waysThe USDT Optimism → USDT Polygon direction is open too, so going back into USDT takes the same route.

Payout network for USDT
The same USDT goes out in several networks. Rates and lower limits differ, and the fee is charged by the network itself.
| Network | Per USDT Polygon | From | Network fee | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solana | 1.0001 | 100 USDT Polygon | ≈ $0.00048 | fast |
| TRON (TRC20) | 1.0001 | 100 USDT Polygon | ≈ $2.1 | fast |

How the USDT Polygon → 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 Polygon in Polygon 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 Polygon
- The address network is Optimism. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- 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 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.
Polygon PoS against OP Mainnet (Optimism)
| Polygon PoS | OP Mainnet (Optimism) | |
|---|---|---|
| Network type | Sidechain with checkpoints in Ethereum | L2, optimistic rollup |
| Fees are paid in | POL | ETH |
| Fee level | ≈ $0.00015 | ≈ $0.00015 |
| Speed | fast | fast |
| Block | ~2 sec | ~2 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 | 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 Polygon PoS; 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 |
