How to send USDT on Optimism
- Ask the receiver for a USDT address on Optimism and check the network name on their deposit page matches. USDT on another network is a different token and a deposit on the wrong one is usually lost.
- On the exchange choose USDT, then network Optimism; the form shows the fee and minimum. Right now the enabled rails are Binance ($0.040) and KuCoin ($1.00).
- Paste the address, send a small test amount first if the sum is large, and wait for the receiver to credit it.
- Paste the address into the address check to confirm it belongs to Optimism before confirming; then use the route planner if you want every rail ranked for your amount.

Questions
- Why does the USDT fee on Optimism change?
- We do not read Optimism's fee market directly, so the only figures here are what exchanges charge to withdraw. Those are set by the exchange, usually as a flat amount of USDT, and change without notice; we re-read them every 10 minutes.
- What is the minimum USDT withdrawal on Optimism?
- Right now: Binance 3 USDT and KuCoin 3 USDT. Below the minimum the exchange refuses the withdrawal; at or just above it the flat fee is a large share of what arrives ($0.040 of a 3 USDT withdrawal at Binance).
- Which is cheaper for USDT, TRC20 or ERC20?
- One of the two chain readings is unavailable right now, so no comparison is shown. Typically TRC20 is the cheaper of the two by a wide margin; the live figures are on the Tron and Ethereum pages linked below.
