Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to bridge USDT from Arbitrum to Optimism?
Stablane charges 0 and USDT0 takes no token fee, so the full amount arrives. You pay a LayerZero messaging fee in ETH with the send (usually cents or less) and normal Arbitrum gas.
How long does USDT take from Arbitrum to Optimism?
About 20 minutes. USDT0 waits for several independent verifiers to confirm the Arbitrum transaction before delivering on Optimism.
Do I need gas on Optimism?
No. Delivery on Optimism is executed by LayerZero; you only need ETH on Arbitrum for the send and the messaging fee.
Why does my wallet on Optimism show USD₮0?
On Optimism, Tether's official USDT is the USDT0 contract, whose symbol is USD₮0. It is the same USDT, redeemable 1:1; many wallets display it as USDT.
Do I need to approve anything on Arbitrum?
No. On Arbitrum the USDT0 contract burns your USDT0 directly in the send transaction.
What if the transfer takes longer than expected?
The send on Arbitrum is recorded on-chain and LayerZero will deliver it. Stablane keeps tracking it; you can paste the Arbitrum transaction hash in the history to follow it on any device, or look it up on LayerZero Scan.
