Most OP to XLM swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the OP deposit needs about a minute to confirm on OP Mainnet, then the XLM is sent to your wallet, and Stellar confirms the payout in a few seconds. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 OP in XLM? 1 OP is worth about 0.610359 XLM 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 XLM 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 XLM? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Stellar address that should receive the XLM, send OP from your own wallet, and the XLM goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Optimism to Stellar? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the XLM 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 XLM? To receive Stellar from your swap, we recommend using Lobstr or Freighter. Make sure your wallet supports the Stellar network before starting the exchange. Double-check your XLM address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the XLM address? Use a Stellar address: it starts with G and is 56 characters long. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. ### Do I need a Memo to receive XLM? Only if the XLM goes to an exchange or custodial account that gave you a Memo; enter it in the field shown in the exchange box. A personal XLM wallet does not need one. ### Can I track my OP to XLM 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 XLM on StellarExpert (https://stellar.expert). ### Is it safe to exchange OP for XLM on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your OP deposit is converted and the XLM is sent straight to the Stellar address you enter, so check that address twice, Stellar transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain OP to XLM swap work? Optimism lives on OP Mainnet and Stellar on Stellar, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your OP on OP Mainnet and pays native XLM on Stellar, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my OP to XLM 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: XLM to OP](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/xlm-op/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/xlm-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)
