What OP represents
Optimism (OP) is available in network-specific native or token forms. OP is the governance token of the Optimism ecosystem and does not replace ETH for OP Mainnet gas. OP contracts bridged to another chain are distinct representations.

OP is the governance token of the Optimism ecosystem and does not replace ETH for OP Mainnet gas. OP contracts bridged to another chain are distinct representations. Recorded contract networks include Optimism; network gas remains a separate native balance.

Receiving OP without a network mismatch
Confirm the OP network, contract or native label, and receiving address before using a route. Do not identify OP solely by ticker; verify the asset and network representation. OP can use different contracts on different networks.

OP privacy and wallet linking
Approvals, token transfers, wallet reuse, amounts, timing, and later consolidation can remain visible. Private Route availability and identity requirements must be checked separately.
