Three steps on Web3Swap
-
Enter the ETH size and paste the Optimism payout address for Optimism mainnet on this Web3Swap ticket.
-
Confirm Exchange to lock the live Web3Swap quote and reveal this ticket’s deposit details.
-
Broadcast exactly that ETH amount to the deposit. After Base mainnet confirms, OP is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Base confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send ETH on Base mainnet only — not Ethereum L1, Optimism, or Arbitrum unless your order says otherwise.
- Use a Base-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Base for gas on top of the swap amount.
- If OP is late, refresh your wallet and re-check the ticket. When a payout hash is already listed, email or SimpleX support with your Exchange ID — Web3Swap has no login that lists expired orders.
Base ETH tickets — Coinbase L2 rail
Native ETH on Base is not Ethereum L1. Web3Swap Base tickets need a Base wallet — low fees, fast finality, still no hosted balance.
ETH on Base mainnet
Use a Base wallet for deposits. Ethereum mainnet ETH is a different network — wrong-chain sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH on Base for gas in addition to the amount you swap.
Optimism tickets — L2 ETH and OP tokens
OP governs Optimism’s rollup. Web3Swap OP tickets need an Optimism wallet — an L1 Ethereum send here is usually unrecoverable.
OP not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Optimism mainnet and fully synced.
OP payout tips
- Payouts go to Optimism — verify your wallet RPC is set to Optimism, not Ethereum mainnet.
- Check Optimistic Etherscan with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Allow a minute for your wallet to refresh after the explorer shows the transfer.
Deposit checklist
Chain mismatches and bad addresses are the usual failure modes — skim these notes before you fund the deposit.

FAQ for this route
Do I need KYC or a Web3Swap login for ETH → OP?
No. A standard Ethereum (Base) → Optimism ticket on Web3Swap skips signup and ID upload. You stay self-custodial on both legs.
How soon does OP usually arrive?
After the Base mainnet deposit is final, many payouts leave within minutes. Congestion on Base mainnet or Optimism mainnet can stretch that — mempools and fees set the clock, not a compliance hold.
Does Web3Swap custody my ETH or OP?
No. You broadcast ETH from a wallet you control; OP pays only to the address you paste. Nothing sits as a named Web3Swap balance.
What if I send ETH on the wrong rail?
Match Base mainnet exactly as printed on the Web3Swap ticket badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — verify before you broadcast.
