What is Optimism?
An Ethereum layer-2 network that uses optimistic rollup technology. As it has grown, more users need to move assets to and from Optimism across other blockchains — which is what "bridging" does.
How bridging to Optimism works
A cross-chain bridge coordinates an event on a source network with an event on Optimism. Designs can lock and mint, burn and mint, or use liquidity on both networks. Each model has different custody, smart-contract, token, and recovery assumptions.
Your options for bridging to Optimism
TorrentSwap does not currently execute a direct Optimism route. Consult official Optimism documentation to identify supported transfer methods, then verify the URL, networks, token contract, custody model, and recovery process independently.
Staying safe when you bridge
Verify the exact URL, source and destination networks, asset contract, and destination address. Do not assume that a correctly formatted address supports the selected token or that an unsupported transfer can be recovered. Never share a seed phrase, private key, or wallet password.
What TorrentSwap can do for you
TorrentSwap currently publishes an asset inventory covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum. An inventory entry is not a selectability claim: only assets participating in a current executable route appear on the relevant side of the selector. TorrentSwap does not publish a direct Optimism route.
