The amount you get is estimated at the current rate.
⇄ Reverse exchange ETH Optimism → ETHThe ETH → ETH Optimism bridge runs at 1 ETH = 0.9999 ETH Optimism. For 100 ETH you receive 99.99 ETH Optimism; the amount is calculated by this rate, and you only pay the Ethereum fee for your own transfer. You can bridge from 0.08616 ETH. That is about $211.90.
Ethereum is a layer-1 blockchain; OP Mainnet (Optimism) is an Ethereum layer-2 rollup. On OP Mainnet (Optimism) fees are paid in ETH, so the ETH Optimism you receive can be used right away.
Ethereum vs OP Mainnet (Optimism): network comparison
| Ethereum | OP Mainnet (Optimism) | |
|---|---|---|
| Network type | Layer 1 | Layer 2 (optimistic rollup) |
| Fees are paid in | ETH | ETH |
| Fee level | high | low |
| Speed | moderate | fast |
| Block time | ~12 sec | ~2 sec |
| Address format | 0x… | 0x… |
| Memo / tag | not needed | not needed |
| EVM-compatible addresses (0x…) | yes | yes |
| Withdrawal to Ethereum via the official bridge | — | ~7 days (challenge period) |
Fee and speed levels are relative and depend on network load.
Crystal-Trade or a classic bridge: what is the difference
| Crystal-Trade | Classic bridge | |
|---|---|---|
| What you receive | native ETH on OP Mainnet (Optimism) | Depends on the bridge: on some networks it is a bridged version of the token |
| Wallet connection and approvals | Not needed: you send coins to the order address | Needed: you connect a wallet and sign contract transactions |
| Coins for fees on OP Mainnet (Optimism) | Not needed to receive | Often needed to claim funds or move them after the bridge |
| Time | After the Ethereum confirmations; the status is shown on the order page | Depends on the bridge and the load of both networks |
| Who holds the funds during the transfer | Crystal-Trade, for the duration of the order (with an AML check) | The bridge smart contract or its validators |

How to bridge ETH from Ethereum to OP Mainnet (Optimism)
- Enter the ETH amount in the calculator (from 0.08616 ETH) and open the exchange form.
- Paste your OP Mainnet (Optimism) address (0x…) to receive ETH Optimism.
- Send ETH over the Ethereum network to the address from the order, exactly in the amount shown.
- After the Ethereum confirmations, ETH Optimism is sent to your OP Mainnet (Optimism) address. The status is shown on the order page.
Before you bridge ETH to OP Mainnet (Optimism)
- The receiving address must be on the OP Mainnet (Optimism) network (0x…).
- Addresses on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon look the same (0x…): make sure the wallet shows OP Mainnet (Optimism) as the network.
- Send ETH over Ethereum only — a transfer over another network will not reach the order.
- The amount sent must be at least 0.08616 ETH.
- Funds go through an AML check; high-risk transfers may be held until the check is complete.
