Need to move ETH from Optimism to Ethereum

New crypto users always chase the lowest gas fees and end up making accounts on literally every new chain that pops up. Keeping track of all those scattered tokens gets super confusing after a few months of active trading. You only realize the catch when you actually try to pull your money back to the base layer. The official native withdrawal process takes seven days to clear because of their security checks. Most guys just send their coins to a centralized exchange first and then withdraw them to the correct network. You can deposit your Optimism tokens into an active account on Binance or Kraken and then initiate a standard withdrawal directly to your mainnet wallet address.
