Scaling Ethereum, now connected cross-chain.
We’re excited to announce the SwapKit OP Mainnet (fka Optimism) integration, making $OP and Optimism-native assets available for seamless cross-chain swaps via NEAR Intents.
With Optimism now supported as a fully integrated chain in the SwapKit SDK, developers, wallets, and dApps can enable direct swaps between Optimism and 20+ blockchains — including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, TRON, and more.
What This Means for Integrators
By enabling the SwapKit Optimism integration, developers can now:
✅ Support native Optimism swaps — swap $OP and Optimism assets cross-chain without wrapped tokens.
✅ Access NEAR Intents routing — benefit from gas abstraction, instant finality, and intent-based execution.
✅ Bridge ecosystems — connect Optimism’s fast L2 liquidity with Bitcoin, Ethereum L1, Solana, and beyond.
✅ Serve DeFi demand — Optimism powers leading DeFi protocols, enabling integrators to tap into new liquidity and user flows.
✅ Enable instantly — existing SwapKit integrators can activate Optimism with minimal code changes.
How It Works
- Integrators using SwapKit already have NEAR Intents routes available.
- With the SwapKit Optimism integration, Optimism is now a supported source and destination chain.
- Users can swap $OP and Optimism tokens directly into BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, Polygon, and more.
Why Optimism Matters
Optimism is a leading Ethereum Layer 2 built with the OP Stack, designed to scale Ethereum with lower fees, faster throughput, and EVM equivalence.
- Ethereum-aligned security with rollup architecture.
- Low fees and fast settlement, making DeFi accessible at scale.
- Growing ecosystem of dApps, DAOs, and DeFi protocols.
- OP governance token powering one of the most active communities in Web3.
The SwapKit Optimism integration ensures developers can extend Optimism’s efficiency beyond the L2 and into the broader multichain economy.
The Cross-Chain Future with SwapKit
Adding Optimism as a chain continues SwapKit’s mission to make cross-chain swaps as seamless as same-chain transfers.
- More chains.
- More providers.
- Smarter routing.
- Simpler integrations.
The SwapKit Optimism integration is another step toward a frictionless, composable, multichain economy.
About SwapKit
SwapKit develops technologies and operates services enabling non-custodial, permissionless cross-chain trading for wallets, dApps, and crypto platforms. Through its API and SDK, SwapKit enables seamless swaps across multiple chains – including Bitcoin — to let users trade native assets in a single transaction without handling the underlying complexity.
SwapKit integrators benefit from a unified API to get access to multiple providers, abstracting away integration complexities. Integrators can monetize their SwapKit integration using tailor-made tools to easily configure and collect swap fees. SwapKit supports address AML checks, transaction status tracking, and multi-chain wallet interaction. With fully open-source smart contracts and a continuously expanding chain / asset coverage, SwapKit empowers projects to embed composable cross-chain DeFi capabilities efficiently.
