Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to bridge USDT from Ethereum 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 Ethereum gas.
How long does USDT take from Ethereum to Optimism?
About 17 minutes. USDT0 waits for several independent verifiers to confirm the Ethereum transaction before delivering on Optimism.
Do I need gas on Optimism?
No. Delivery on Optimism is executed by LayerZero; you only need ETH on Ethereum 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.
Why is there an extra approval on Ethereum?
On Ethereum, USDT0 locks your USDT in its adapter contract, which needs permission to move it. Stablane approves exactly the amount you send, never an unlimited allowance.
What if the transfer takes longer than expected?
The send on Ethereum is recorded on-chain and LayerZero will deliver it. Stablane keeps tracking it; you can paste the Ethereum transaction hash in the history to follow it on any device, or look it up on LayerZero Scan.
