Most OP to AVAX swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the OP deposit needs about a minute to confirm on OP Mainnet, then the AVAX is sent to your wallet, and Avalanche X-Chain confirms the payout in a few seconds. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 OP in AVAX? 1 OP is worth about 0.011152 AVAX at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 8 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the AVAX network fee. The rate floats with the market until your OP deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send. ### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange OP to AVAX? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Avalanche X-Chain address that should receive the AVAX, send OP from your own wallet, and the AVAX goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Optimism to Avalanche? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the AVAX amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, your wallet needs a little ETH on OP Mainnet to pay the OP Mainnet network fee for sending OP. ### What wallet should I use to receive AVAX? To receive Avalanche from your swap, we recommend using Core (copy its X-Chain address). For AVAX in MetaMask or another 0x wallet, pick AVAX C-Chain instead. Make sure your wallet supports the Avalanche X-Chain network before starting the exchange. Double-check your AVAX address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the AVAX address? Use an Avalanche X-Chain address: it starts with X-avax1 (an X-Chain address; 0x C-Chain addresses are not accepted). Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. ### Can I track my OP to AVAX 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 OP payment on Optimistic Etherscan (https://optimistic.etherscan.io) and your incoming AVAX on Avascan (https://avascan.info). ### Is it safe to exchange OP for AVAX on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your OP deposit is converted and the AVAX is sent straight to the Avalanche X-Chain address you enter, so check that address twice, Avalanche X-Chain transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain OP to AVAX swap work? Optimism lives on OP Mainnet and Avalanche on Avalanche X-Chain, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your OP on OP Mainnet and pays native AVAX on Avalanche X-Chain, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my OP to AVAX exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the OP is refunded to the OP Mainnet 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. ## Related - [Reverse: AVAX to OP](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/avax-op/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/avax-op.md)) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
