Most OP to XAUT swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the OP deposit needs about a minute to confirm on OP Mainnet, then the XAUT is sent to your wallet, and Ethereum confirms the payout in about 2–5 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 OP in XAUT? 1 OP is worth about 0.0000319320 XAUT 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 XAUT 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 XAUT? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Ethereum address that should receive the XAUT, send OP from your own wallet, and the XAUT goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Optimism to Tether Gold? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the XAUT 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 XAUT? To receive Tether Gold from your swap, we recommend using MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Ethereum network before starting the exchange. Double-check your XAUT address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the XAUT address? Use an Ethereum address: it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending XAUT to an address on another network can lose the coins. ### Can I track my OP to XAUT 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 XAUT on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io). ### Is it safe to exchange OP for XAUT on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your OP deposit is converted and the XAUT is sent straight to the Ethereum address you enter, so check that address twice — Ethereum transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain OP to XAUT swap work? Optimism lives on OP Mainnet and Tether Gold on Ethereum, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your OP on OP Mainnet and pays native XAUT on Ethereum, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my OP to XAUT 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: XAUT to OP](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/xaut-op/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/xaut-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)
