    The native rollup withdrawal takes seven days, which totally ruins your chances of paying the team on time. Network congestion on the main chain also eats up a huge chunk of the transaction if you pick the wrong time of day to move liquidity. A common workaround involves sending the L2 tokens directly to a centralized exchange that supports Optimism deposits. You then withdraw those same assets straight to your mainnet address to bypass the lengthy dispute period.
