How private Optimism bridge routing works
Where offered on an exact route, Private Route is intended to reduce an obvious direct association between sending and receiving wallets. Optimism activity and the other chain’s activity can still remain public.
Optimism data that remains public
Addresses, balances, token movements, contract calls, gas, amounts, and timestamps can remain visible on Optimism. Optimism is a L2 optimistic rollup network in the Ethereum ecosystem that settles to ethereum. OP Mainnet is an OP Stack optimistic rollup with sequenced L2 execution and Ethereum settlement. Its canonical withdrawal model has different timing from ordinary L2 inclusion, and OP Mainnet token contracts are distinct from Ethereum and other OP Stack chains.
OP Mainnet sequencer and withdrawal-context visibility
OP Mainnet transactions are sequenced on the OP Stack L2 and later settle to Ethereum. Ordinary route delivery and the canonical withdrawal model expose different timing contexts.
Optimism gas and address checks
ETH is the native gas asset for Optimism. EVM 0x account address Confirm Optimism, its evm 0x account address, and the exact asset representation before sending. Keep ETH available for network gas when a transaction is required.
Route-specific availability
18 bridge routes involving Optimism is available. Private Route is checked separately for the selected assets, networks, amount, and current conditions in the live flow.
Identity and custody requirements
Private Route, no KYC, no account, no wallet connection, and non-custodial are separate properties. This page makes no global promise about the provider requirements or custody model of every exact route.
Choose an exact direction
Outgoing and incoming routes have different source gas, destination address, confirmation, asset representation, and public-record considerations. Open an exact route below rather than assuming both directions behave the same way.
