How to buy Optimism (OP)
Buy OP on LCX Liberty DEX in a few steps, from your own wallet. No account, no deposit, and no fee on the swap.
How to buy OP on LCX Liberty DEX
Step 1: Connect a wallet
Use a wallet you control, such as MetaMask or any WalletConnect wallet. There is no account to open, no sign-up and nothing to deposit with us.
Step 2: Choose the network
OP trades on OP Mainnet, so the card opens there and your wallet is asked to switch if it is on another network.
Step 3: Pick what you pay with
OP trades mostly against WETH and USDC, so paying with ETH or USDC usually fills best. Any token in your wallet works; the router converts it on the way.
Step 4: Enter an amount
Type what you want to spend. At $0.13468, $100 buys about 742 OP before gas.
Step 5: Review the quote
The quote names the price, the route it takes through our pools, the price impact and the least you will receive at your slippage limit (0.5% unless you change it).
Step 6: Confirm in your wallet
Paying with ETH is one transaction; paying with a token first asks you to approve that exact amount. The OP lands in your own wallet (contract 0x4200…0042 on OP Mainnet).
