Bridge to Optimism
Bridging is the process of moving assets between two different blockchains. It’s different from exchanging. Here you transfer assets between different blockchains. In the exchanging process you are simply converting one currency into another.
Bridge to Optimism network is beneficial for those who want to use their current tokens on completely different chains. If you want to use Bitcoin or another token on an Optimism-based dApp, that’s your case.
Defiway’s Optimism bridge is a fast and reliable way to get needed tokens. It’s a user-friendly and secure choice for everyone in the crypto industry.

How to Bridge to Optimism
Since you are visiting this page, you are interested in moving assets from or to Optimism. There are many ways to bridge Optimism. It’s an Ethereum layer-2 solution, so you can use any service that supports ETC or ERC-20 tokens. However, the fastest and most affordable way to bridge to Optimism is by using a trustworthy cross-chain bridge protocol like Defiway Bridge.
Use this easy 3-step guide to bridge to Optimism (OP) using the Defiway Bridge:
We recommend you read the deal details on each provider site. The details can drastically differ even in similar providers.
However, the fastest and cheapest way to bridge to Avalanche (AVAX) is by using a trustworthy cross-chain protocol like Defiway Bridge.

-
Step 1
Visit our Bridge page and select networks and tokens
-
Step 2
Pick the “Connect Wallet” to connect your wallet to the bridge
-
Step 3
Select OP as the receiving network, write down the number of tokens to convert, and confirm the transaction
Optimism Bridging Fees:
What Are They?
The Optimist bridging costs depend on gas and bridge fees. Considering that it’s a layer-2 solution, it gets lower gas commissions than ETH.
The middle fee for transferring ETH from Ethereum's main net to Optimism by using the bridge costs from 0.0005 to 0.001 ETH. If you decide to get a completely different token such as Bitcoin, the Optimism bridge commission will be different.
To achieve the OP bridge's lowest fees we recommend you use the Defiway Bridge during non-pick hours. We have one of the most affordable service commissions on the market: combining it with cheap gas commissions can help you save 10-20% on each transaction.
Bridge fees depend on the bridge operator. However, they usually vary from 0.025% to 0.1% depending on the situation and network load.
To achieve the AVAX bridge's lowest fees we recommend you use the Defiway Bridge during non-peak hours. This service has affordable service commissions on the market: combining it with cheap gas commissions can help you save 10-20% on each transaction.

All Bridges to OptimismWhat is Optimism
Optimism Network is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that is built on top of the main chain to boost its performance. As you can guess from its name, Optimism Network uses an optimistic roll-up technique to achieve these results.
Optimistic rollups batch up transactions off-chain, submitting them in bulk to the Ethereum mainnet for verification. The great thing about Optimism Network is that transactions are processed much faster and cheaper than in the Ethereum mainnet.
Optimism Network is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), making it a great network for dApp developers. Some of the most popular decentralized applications on Optimism include Synthetix, Uniswap, and Aave.
Final Thoughts
Bridging to Optimism is quite simple. It’s a layer-2 Ethereum solution, so it works with every dApp that supports ETH and ERC-20 tokens. It includes Trezor, Exodus, Metamask, Binance, and more.
To streamline this process even more, we recommend you use decentralized cross-chain bridges like the Defiway Bridge. It’s the fastest cross-chain bridge to Optimism (OP).
All you need to do is to follow our easy instructions from above. The bridging process will take just a few minutes.

What is a Cross-Chain Bridge?
A cross-chain bridge allows users to transfer supported crypto assets between different blockchain networks. Instead of keeping an asset limited to a single blockchain, a bridge provides infrastructure for moving supported assets between otherwise separate networks. -
What kind of wallets can I use to interact with Defiway Bridge?
There’re plenty of options to choose from! We support every EVM-compatible wallet, as well as 1 TRX-compatible wallet. -
How secure is Defiway Cross-Chain Bridge?
Defiway uses validator-based infrastructure and multisignature technology for cross-chain transfers. Users should still verify all transaction details before confirming a transfer. -
Are there any risks involved in using cross-chain bridges?
Cross-chain transfers involve multiple blockchain networks and supporting infrastructure, so they are not completely risk-free. Users should always check the selected token, source and destination networks, destination address, and transaction details before transferring funds. -
How quickly are funds transferred?
Transfer time depends on the source network, destination network, and current network conditions. Defiway is designed for fast cross-chain transfers, but actual transaction times can vary. -
What if I have a question, issue, or problem?
If you experience an issue with a transaction or have a question about Defiway Bridge, contact the Defiway support team through the official support channels. Please reach out to us via the website form or [email protected] email. -
What are the benefits of using Defiway Cross-Chain Bridge?
Defiway provides a single interface for moving supported assets across multiple blockchain ecosystems, including both EVM and non-EVM networks. For Arc, users can bridge USDC and USDT between Arc and 11 supported networks without switching between multiple bridge interfaces. -
Can All Cryptocurrencies Be Transferred Using Defiway Crypto Bridges?
Currently we support only leading cryptocurrencies, such as ETH, USDT, USDC, USD1, BTC. You can access the list of exact bridge pairs on this page. -
What's the difference between a cross-chain bridge and a traditional blockchain transaction?
A traditional blockchain transaction moves assets within the same blockchain network. A cross-chain bridge enables supported assets to move between different blockchain networks, such as transferring USDC from Ethereum to Arc or from Arc to Solana. -
How Does a Cross-Chain Transaction Work Technically?
Cross-chain transfers lock your assets on the originating chain, create a representation of them on the destination chain, and then unlock the original assets once the process is complete. -
Does Defiway Wallet comply with security standards and ensure the anonymity of it's users?
Your personal account meets the most stringent security standards. We take all possible measures to safeguard your funds. All our services work via SSL (HTTPS) connection, and important information is encrypted using the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.
