How bridging to Optimism works
- 01Pick the asset and the destination
Choose what you are sending and select Optimism as the destination network. The amount that will arrive, the route and the time estimate appear before you connect anything.
- 02Compare routes
Every provider that covers the pair returns a live quote. They are ranked by the final amount after fees; the best one is selected and the others stay visible.
- 03Approve and sign
Tokens need a one-time approval for the exact amount; native gas tokens skip it. Then one signature creates the transaction on the source network.
- 04Receive on Optimism
Funds arrive at your address on Optimism once the source transaction is final; Optimism typically settles in ~40 s. You will need a little ETH to move them onward.
Questions
How long does a bridge to Optimism take?
Usually a few minutes. Optimism confirms in about ~40 s; the total depends on the source network's finality plus relay time. The app shows an estimate per route.
Do I need ETH to receive on Optimism?
Not to receive. Gas is paid on the source network. You will need ETH on Optimism before you can send the funds anywhere else.
Which providers route Optimism?
The routes table lists them for each pair. Coverage differs by provider; where only one provider covers a pair, you see one route rather than a filler row.
What happens if a route fails?
Intent-based routes settle or fail as a unit. On failure the funds stay in your wallet on the source network. Routes that use a bridge plus a swap show their status step by step, with explorer links.
Why are there no curated routes for Optimism?
Curated pages exist for the routes people search for most. Any token on Optimism can still be quoted and, where execution is supported, swapped from the app.
