ETH to OP is a same-chain swap

Why people swap ETH for OP
Swapping ETH for OP moves you from a layer-1 asset into a scaling network's token. People do this to take exposure to a rollup's growth, or because they are becoming active on Optimism and want its native token for governance and ecosystem use.
What Ethereum and Optimism actually are
Ethereum (ETH): Ethereum is the leading smart contract platform powering DeFi, NFTs, and thousands of decentralized applications. ETH is used to pay for transactions across the Ethereum ecosystem. Buy Ethereum instantly with ChainATM. Just type "Buy ETH" and the AI handles the rest.
Optimism (OP): Optimism is an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution focused on simplicity and Ethereum equivalence. OP is the governance token powering the Optimism Collective. Buy Optimism with ChainATM. Type "Buy OP" and get it directly in your self-custody wallet.
What to watch on this pair
- Because both tokens live on Ethereum, this settles as a single on-chain swap. You pay one set of Ethereum gas fees and there is no bridging delay or bridge risk.
- The rate you see quoted is an estimate until the transaction settles. ChainATM shows the expected output and total cost before anything executes, and nothing moves until you approve it.
FAQ: Swapping ETH to OP
How do I swap ETH to OP?

How do I convert ETH to OP?
Converting, exchanging, changing, switching and trading ETH for OP all describe the same operation: a swap. Open ChainATM and say "Convert my ETH to OP". The AI finds the route, shows the rate and estimated output, and waits for your approval before anything executes.
Can you swap ETH for OP directly?
Yes. You do not need to sell ETH for cash first and buy OP afterwards. ChainATM routes the swap in one step, including across chains, and the OP lands in your own wallet.
Where can I swap ETH to OP?
In ChainATM, at app.chain-atm.com or in the iOS app. Because it is self-custody, your ETH never sits in an exchange account waiting to be withdrawn: the swap happens from your own wallet and the OP arrives in it.
Can I transfer ETH to OP?
Not as a transfer, and the distinction matters. A transfer moves the same asset between addresses. ETH and OP are different assets, so what you need is a swap, which exchanges one for the other. Sending ETH to an address that expects OP can lose the funds permanently.
