The Most Secure Path to Optimism, Built into Velora

From Ethereum to Optimism, the safest route is now the simplest.

Optimism is one of the most established Layer 2 ecosystems, home to a growing network of DeFi protocols, governance experiments, and applications built on the OP Stack. It’s also the foundation for the Superchain vision that includes Base, Unichain, Zora, and others. For traders and builders, Optimism’s liquidity and network effects make it a critical execution venue.

But how you move assets into and out of Optimism can affect both security and performance. Third-party fast bridges deliver speed but introduce additional trust layers and liquidity dependencies. The Optimism Standard Bridge is different. It’s the canonical, trustless connection between Ethereum and Optimism, secured by Ethereum’s settlement layer and integrated into the OP Stack. By bringing it into Velora’s intent-based execution stack, we’re giving users a security-first, native option for Optimism in their crosschain trading strategies.

Your Most Secure Route to Optimism

The Optimism Standard Bridge connects Ethereum and Optimism using a direct lock-and-mint model, securing every transfer with Ethereum’s settlement layer. Deposits from Ethereum to Optimism finalize in around 10 minutes.

Because assets are locked and minted natively, there’s no third-party custody, no wrapped tokens, and no fragmented liquidity. Every move is fully verified by Ethereum. For added flexibility, the bridge supports Forced Withdrawals for censorship-resistant exits and Easy Mode to automate withdrawal finalization and refund unused gas.
