base → Optimism

Swap ETH to USDT

Exchange ETH from Base into USDT on OP Mainnet. The provider waits for the ETH deposit before arranging the USDT payout on the destination network. Track those as separate transactions rather than using a sending-chain confirmation as proof of receipt.

Ethereum (Base) to Tether (Optimism)

You send: Ethereum (Base)ETH · base
You receive: Tether (Optimism)USDT · Optimism

Enter your amount to check live availability for ETH on base → USDT on Optimism. A provider quote is required before you can create a swap.

Address and network checks

Both Base and OP Mainnet use EVM-style addresses. An identical address string cannot confirm the network. Check Base in the sending wallet and OP Mainnet in the receiving wallet separately.

Sending ETH

Switch the wallet to Base. ETH on Ethereum mainnet cannot pay the normal gas fee for a separate token transfer on Base. Native ETH and wrapped Ether (WETH) are different assets. Use the ETH balance on the selected network; do not substitute WETH for an ETH deposit.

For a standard self-custody transfer on Base, allow for network fees in ETH in addition to the amount you send. Wallet sponsorship and exchange withdrawal charges can differ; check the sending wallet’s final fee.

Receiving USDT

Select OP Mainnet, often labeled Optimism. Its ETH balance and token balances are separate from those on Ethereum mainnet. Match the USDT network and token supported by the receiving service. A USDT balance on one chain does not automatically appear on another, and a dollar reference does not guarantee the quoted exchange value. This listed USDT/Optimism option has no separate memo field. If your destination requires additional instructions that this form cannot supply, choose another compatible destination before creating an order.

Refund address for this pair

Enter a refund address that accepts ETH on base. The refund is sent in ETH on base; verify that your refund wallet supports this exact asset and network.
