ETH: changing network from Arbitrum One to OP Mainnet (Optimism)

It is still ETH, only in a different blockchain: you send ETH Arbitrum, and the payout of ETH Optimism goes to your address in OP Mainnet (Optimism). Bridge contracts, signatures and wrapped tokens play no part.

Preliminary figure: the final amount is locked in the order.

Right now 1 ETH Arbitrum gets you 0.99999 ETH Optimism; the other way round, 1 ETH Optimism is 1 ETH Arbitrum. Over 24 hours ETH Arbitrum/ETH Optimism came in at about 0%. Over the week, about 0%.

The weekly range ran from 1 to 1 ETH Optimism, a spread of 0%. One order takes from 0.0374734 to 3,730 ETH Arbitrum. In dollars that is roughly $100.42.

The robot sends the payout in the Optimism network, so the address has to belong to that network — a transfer to another one will not arrive.

Which network ETH arrives in

The same ETH goes out in several networks. Each has its own rate and its own floor, and the fee is charged by the network itself.

How the ETH Arbitrum → ETH Optimism exchange runs

  1. Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 0.0374734 ETH Arbitrum.
  2. Give a ETH address on Optimism and a contact for the order.
  3. Send ETH Arbitrum on Arbitrum One, exactly the amount the order shows.
  4. Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends Ethereum Optimism to your address. The order page shows the status.

Swap ETH Arbitrum for ETH Optimism

Check this before sending ETH Arbitrum

  • The address network is Optimism. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
  • The transfer must not be smaller than 0.0374734 ETH Arbitrum.
  • Copy the address in full, then check its first and last characters once it is pasted.
  • Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon addresses look the same (0x…) — make sure the wallet is switched to OP Mainnet (Optimism).
  • Send exactly the amount stated in the order: the automation matches your payment against it, and any difference sends the order back for recalculation.

Why people take the ETH Arbitrum → ETH Optimism route

  • Changing networkETH from Arbitrum One (fee ≈ $0.0014) moves over to Optimism (fee ≈ $0.0001). That is how people top up a wallet or an exchange that takes one network only.
  • It works both waysThe ETH Optimism → ETH Arbitrum direction is open as well — going back into ETH takes the same route and the same automation.

Common questions: ETH Arbitrum → ETH Optimism

What rate does ETH Arbitrum to ETH Optimism run at?
As of Sep 30, 2026 20:05 it is 1 ETH Arbitrum = 0.99999 ETH Optimism. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $2,679.62.
What amounts does ETH Arbitrum → ETH Optimism accept?
From 0.0374734 to 3,730 ETH Arbitrum per order. The floor is roughly $100.42.
Why can I not swap less than 0.0374734 ETH Arbitrum?
The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 0.0374734 ETH Arbitrum they eat a noticeable share of it, and the swap stops making sense for either side.
Is anything charged on top of the rate?
No. The payout is already worked out at the rate in the calculator. Separately you pay only the network fee for sending ETH Arbitrum, and the blockchain takes that one.
How long does swapping ETH Arbitrum for ETH Optimism take?
The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Arbitrum One confirms your transfer, the order goes out for payout with no operator involved. After that the timing is set by how busy the network is — which is the difference between quick and instant. A block in Arbitrum One closes in about 0.25 sec.
Will real ETH be credited, or a wrapper?
Real. ETH Optimism is the OP Mainnet (Optimism) network's own coin, and transfers inside it are paid for with the same coin.
Is ETH needed to receive ETH Optimism?
No: fees in OP Mainnet (Optimism) are charged in the same ETH Optimism, so there is no second coin to hold.
Which network will ETH Optimism arrive in?
The payout goes out on Optimism. Check that the receiving wallet supports that network.
Which network is cheaper for receiving ETH?
Usually ETH BEP20, ETH Optimism works out cheaper. Still, the network is picked by what the recipient accepts, not by the fee.
What happens if the rate moves while I am paying?
Nothing: the rate is locked in the order and holds for as long as the order is alive. It is recalculated only if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.
What did the ETH Arbitrum to ETH Optimism rate do over the month?
Over the month, about 0%: a low of 1, a high of 1, an average of 1 ETH Optimism per 1 ETH Arbitrum.
Can I swap back, ETH Optimism for ETH Arbitrum?
Yes, the reverse is open too: 1 ETH Optimism = 0.99999 ETH Arbitrum. The link to switch sits under the calculator.
