## Common misconceptions

### Transactions take 7 days to finalize

A common misconception is that transactions on OP Stack chains take 7 days to finalize. **This is incorrect.** Transactions on OP Stack chains become finalized when their data is included in a finalized Ethereum block, typically around 20–30 minutes after submission. To reorg a finalized OP Stack chain transaction, a reorg of the corresponding Ethereum block would be required.

This misconception often arises due to the OP Stack's Standard Bridge, which includes a 7-day delay on *withdrawals* of ETH and ERC-20 tokens. Withdrawing tokens from an OP Stack chain to Ethereum using the Standard Bridge requires a minimum 7-day wait. This delay affects only withdrawals through the Standard Bridge and does not impact transaction finality on the OP Stack chain.
