Three steps on Web3Swap
-
Enter the OP size and paste the Tether payout address for ERC-20 on Ethereum on this Web3Swap ticket.
-
Confirm Exchange to lock the live Web3Swap quote and reveal this ticket’s deposit details.
-
Broadcast exactly that OP amount to the deposit. After Optimism mainnet confirms, USDT is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Optimism confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send OP on Optimism mainnet only — not Ethereum, Base, or Arbitrum unless your order says otherwise.
- Use an Optimism-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Optimism for gas if sending ERC-20 tokens.
- If USDT 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.
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 on Optimism mainnet
Use an Optimism wallet for deposits. L1 Ethereum or other L2 sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH on Optimism for gas when moving OP or other tokens.
USDT ERC-20 tickets — Ethereum L1 only
ERC-20 USDT is not TRC-20. On Web3Swap, leave ETH for gas and broadcast only on Ethereum mainnet when the ticket badge says ERC-20.
Receiving ERC-20 USDT
Set your wallet to Ethereum mainnet with the USDT token visible.
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 OP → USDT?
No. A standard Optimism → Tether ticket on Web3Swap skips signup and ID upload. You stay self-custodial on both legs.
How soon does USDT usually arrive?
After the Optimism mainnet deposit is final, many payouts leave within minutes. Congestion on Optimism mainnet or ERC-20 on Ethereum can stretch that — mempools and fees set the clock, not a compliance hold.
Does Web3Swap custody my OP or USDT?
No. You broadcast OP from a wallet you control; USDT pays only to the address you paste. Nothing sits as a named Web3Swap balance.
What if I send OP on the wrong rail?
Match Optimism mainnet exactly as printed on the Web3Swap ticket badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — verify before you broadcast.
