What is PAX Gold?

PAX Gold (PAXG) is a digital asset backed by physical gold reserves held in custody by Paxos Trust Company. Each PAXG token represents one fine troy ounce of a gold bar. It allows users to own and trade gold without the need for physical storage. PAXG tokens are used for investment and can be redeemed for physical gold.

What is Optimism?

Optimism (OP) is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that uses optimistic rollups to make transactions faster and significantly cheaper than on Ethereum mainnet. Optimism is known for its retroactive public goods funding model, which directs network revenue toward open-source projects that benefit the ecosystem. OP is the governance token used for voting on protocol decisions and treasury allocation. Major DeFi protocols including Aave, Uniswap, and Synthetix are deployed on Optimism.

PAXG to OP: questions and answers

Everything you need to know about exchanging PAXG to OP on GhostSwap.

How long does it take to swap PAXG to OP on GhostSwap?

Most PAXG to OP swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the PAXG deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum, then the OP is sent to your wallet, and OP Mainnet confirms the payout in about a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

How much is 1 PAXG in OP?

1 PAXG is worth about 31,298.45 OP at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 2 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the OP network fee. The rate floats with the market until your PAXG deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.

Do I need KYC or an account to exchange PAXG to OP?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the OP Mainnet address that should receive the OP, send PAXG from your own wallet, and the OP goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.

What are the fees for converting PAX Gold to Optimism?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the OP amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, your wallet needs a little ETH to pay the Ethereum network fee for sending PAXG.

What wallet should I use to receive OP?

To receive Optimism from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask or Rabby. Make sure your wallet supports the OP Mainnet (Ethereum layer 2) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your OP address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

What format is the OP address?

Use an OP Mainnet address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending OP to an address on another network can lose the coins.

Can I track my PAXG to OP swap?

Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your PAXG payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming OP on Optimistic Etherscan (https://optimistic.etherscan.io).

Is it safe to exchange PAXG for OP on GhostSwap?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your PAXG deposit is converted and the OP is sent straight to the OP Mainnet address you enter, so check that address twice — OP Mainnet transfers cannot be reversed.

How does a cross-chain PAXG to OP swap work?

PAX Gold lives on Ethereum and Optimism on OP Mainnet, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your PAXG on Ethereum and pays native OP on OP Mainnet, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

What happens if my PAXG to OP exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the PAXG is refunded to the Ethereum address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network.
