How do I bridge from Base to Optimism?
Choose Base as the source chain and Optimism as the destination chain, enter an amount, then review the best available route before signing in your wallet.
How long does a Base to Optimism bridge take?
Cross-chain routes often complete in a few minutes, but timing depends on bridge liquidity, network congestion, and the route provider. SwapRoute shows route details and status where available.
