How to Purchase Optimism (OP) with Ethereum (ETH)

To purchase Optimism using Ethereum, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the OP/ETH trading pair, such as Nexo, YouHodler, Binance or BTSE. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your ETH into your exchange wallet. Locate the OP/ETH pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your Ethereum for Optimism. If the OP/ETH pair is unavailable, you can first exchange Ethereum for a stablecoin like Tether (USDT) or a fiat currency, then trade that for Optimism. Be mindful of potential exchange fees, which vary by platform and can affect the total cost of your transaction.
