Chainlink (LINK) → Ethereum (ETH Optimism)

Q: What rate does LINK to ETH Optimism run at?

As of Sep 30, 2026 11:10 it is 1 LINK = 0.0053874 ETH Optimism. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $14.40.

Q: What amounts does LINK → ETH Optimism accept?

From 6.8478 to 693,000 LINK per order. The floor is roughly $98.75.

Q: Why can I not swap less than 6.8478 LINK?

The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 6.8478 LINK they eat a noticeable share of it, and the swap stops making sense for either side.

Q: 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 LINK, and the blockchain takes that one.

Q: How long does swapping LINK for ETH Optimism take?

The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Chainlink 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.

Q: Which network will ETH Optimism arrive in?

The payout goes out on Optimism. Check that the receiving wallet supports that network.

Q: Which network is cheaper for receiving ETH?

Usually ETH BEP20, ETH Arbitrum, ETH Optimism works out cheaper. Still, the network is picked by what the recipient accepts, not by the fee.

Q: 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.

Q: What did the LINK to ETH Optimism rate do over the month?

Over the month, plus 17.32%: a low of 0.00452569, a high of 0.00546984, an average of 0.00479444 ETH Optimism per 1 LINK.

Q: Can I swap back, ETH Optimism for LINK?

Yes, the reverse is open too: 1 ETH Optimism = 185.6147 LINK. The link to switch sits under the calculator.

The order runs on autopilot: the rate is locked when you create it, and the payout leaves as soon as the network confirms your transfer. No manual approval, no working hours.

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

Current maths: 0.0053874 ETH Optimism for every LINK, and 185.6184 LINK per ETH Optimism in reverse. Over 24 hours LINK/ETH Optimism came in at minus 2.88%. Over the week, plus 13.89%.

The weekly range ran from 0.00456917 to 0.00576066 ETH Optimism, a spread of 26.08%. One order takes from 6.8478 to 693,000 LINK. In dollars that is roughly $98.75.

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. Market capitalisation puts Chainlink at No. 13 ($10.79 B) and Ethereum at No. 2 ($326.31 B). Over 90 days the daily moves of LINK and ETH correlate at 0.77 (they travel together).

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 LINK → ETH Optimism exchange runs

Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 6.8478 LINK.
Give a ETH address on Optimism and a contact for the order.
Send LINK on Chainlink, exactly the amount the order shows.
Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends Ethereum to your address. The order page shows the status.

Swap LINK for ETH Optimism

Check this before sending LINK

The address network is Optimism. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
The transfer must not be smaller than 6.8478 LINK.
Copy the address in full, then check its first and last characters once it is pasted.
Send exactly the amount stated in the order: the automation matches your payment against it, and any difference sends the order back for recalculation.
