We are thrilled to announce that PayTrie users can now purchase USDC on Optimism with $0 gas fee.

For a limited time, PayTrie will be providing a fee incentive in the form of OP tokens to all users who on-ramp through Optimism. Fee incentive details below!

Launching Today

There have been quite a few requests for Optimism and we’re happy to deliver. This Ethereum scaling solution will give our users a break from the high gas fees on Ethereum mainnet, and will complete transactions much faster with near-instant transaction finality.

How Does The Fee Incentive Work?

PayTrie users who on-ramp to Optimism will receive a 0.6% fee incentive in OP tokens according to the volume that they’ve on-ramped. The OP tokens will be automatically sent to users’ wallets at the end of the week. This is for a limited time only — 20,000 OP tokens will be available for this fee incentive.

Fee Incentive Calculation

Suppose you bought $1000 CAD worth of USDC-OP throughout the week. At the end of the week, PayTrie will be sending you $1000 x 0.6% = $6 CAD worth of OP tokens into your wallet as part of the fee incentive program. This effectively brings your fees to $0 to on-ramp onto Optimism!

Get Started

Purchasing USDC on Optimism using PayTrie is done in a few simple steps. Select “USDC-OP” on the dropdown menu, follow the instructions, and you’re done! Once on Optimism, you will need ETH to pay for gas fees.
