How to transfer USDT from Sei to Optimism
USDT0 is the native form of USDT on both Sei and Optimism. Moving between them is a direct transfer, not a bridge: your USDT0 is burned on Sei and minted 1:1 on Optimism, secured by LayerZero’s OFT standard. Backing never changes — every USDT0 stays backed 1:1 by USDT locked on Ethereum.
To transfer, open usdt0.to/transfer, connect any EVM wallet, select Sei as origin and Optimism as destination, and confirm. Funds typically arrive in about 16m 39s. There is no protocol fee on this transfer — you pay network gas and the LayerZero messaging fee.
