How the NEAR → USDT Optimism exchange runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 20.2234 NEAR.
- Give a USDT address on Optimism and a contact for the order.
- Send NEAR on NEAR, exactly the amount the order shows.
- Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends Tether to your address. The order page shows the status.
Check this before sending NEAR

- The transfer must not be smaller than 20.2234 NEAR.
