Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to bridge USDT from Optimism to Arbitrum?
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 Optimism gas.
How long does USDT take from Optimism to Arbitrum?
About 34 minutes. USDT0 waits for several independent verifiers to confirm the Optimism transaction before delivering on Arbitrum.
Do I need gas on Arbitrum?
No. Delivery on Arbitrum is executed by LayerZero; you only need ETH on Optimism for the send and the messaging fee.
Why does my wallet on Arbitrum show USD₮0?
On Arbitrum, 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 Optimism?
No. On Optimism the USDT0 contract burns your USDT0 directly in the send transaction.
What if the transfer takes longer than expected?
The send on Optimism is recorded on-chain and LayerZero will deliver it. Stablane keeps tracking it; you can paste the Optimism transaction hash in the history to follow it on any device, or look it up on LayerZero Scan.
