How to swap OP at the best rate on LCX Liberty DEX
Step 1: Put the pair in the card
OP on one side, the token you want on the other, for example OP to ETH, on any network OP is on. Selling OP is the same swap with USDC or ETH on the other side.
Step 2: Let the router compare
We quote OP across 3,451 pools on Velodrome, Uniswap, Balancer, SushiSwap and 1 more, and split the order between up to eight of them when that pays more.
Step 3: Check the quote
The card shows the rate, the route, the price impact and the least you will receive. If the price moves past your slippage limit (0.5% by default) before the swap lands, it is refused and nothing is traded.
Step 4: Approve, then swap
Your wallet first asks to let the router spend the exact OP you are swapping, then sends the swap. We take no fee; you pay gas and the pool's own fee.

Where the best OP price comes from
The exchanges whose pools the router quotes for OP, by liquidity. A swap lands on whichever pools pay most at the moment you sign, often several at once.
| Exchange | Pools | Liquidity |
|---|---|---|
| Velodrome | 5 | $300.5k |
| Uniswap | 24 | $139.6k |
| Balancer | 4 | $2.3k |
Selling OP
Selling is the same swap in the other direction: OP on the side you pay with, and a stablecoin or ETH on the side you receive. A stablecoin holds the value steady; ETH keeps you in the network’s own coin.
Swapping Optimism
How does LCX Liberty DEX find the best price for OP?
It quotes OP across the 3,451 pools we index on Velodrome, Uniswap, Balancer, SushiSwap and 1 more, ranks every route by what lands in your wallet after gas, and splits one order across up to eight pools when that pays more.
Which exchanges does the router compare for Optimism?
Velodrome, Uniswap, Balancer, SushiSwap and Solidly. The pools table on the Optimism price page lists each one with its liquidity.
What slippage should I use to swap OP?
The card's default is 0.5%. If the price moves further than your limit before the swap lands, it is refused and nothing is traded, so a tighter limit protects you and a looser one fills more often in a fast market.
Are there fees to swap OP?
We take no fee. You pay the network's gas and the pool's own trading fee, and both are already inside the quoted rate.
How do I sell OP?
Swap it into a stablecoin such as USDC, or into ETH: put OP on the side you pay with, pick what you receive and sign. The proceeds land in your own wallet.
