Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ADA to send and paste the Dash address that should receive funds on Dash mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast ADA to that destination. Once confirmations clear, DASH is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Cardano deposits need several confirmations before the swap proceeds.
- Block times are around 20 seconds but can vary with network load.
- Use a Shelley-era Cardano address — legacy Byron formats may not be supported on all routes.
- Still waiting on DASH? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
Cardano — research-driven layer-1
ADA is the native token of Cardano — a proof-of-stake network focused on security and formal verification.
Sending ADA
Send native ADA on Cardano mainnet from a compatible wallet.
Leave enough ADA for the transaction fee in addition to your swap amount.
Dash
Always match DASH on Dash mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Receiving DASH
Your wallet must be on Dash mainnet.
Allow a few minutes after the order shows sent before opening support.
Before you swap
Avoid wrong-network deposits and address format mistakes — read these guides first.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap ADA for DASH on TunnelSwap?
No. TunnelSwap is an anonymous no-KYC, privacy-first exchange. There is no account, no ID upload, and no standing balance for Cardano → Dash swaps.
How fast is a ADA → DASH swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows Cardano mainnet deposit confirmations and Dash mainnet payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my ADA or DASH?
No. You fund the deposit from your wallet and DASH is sent straight to the address you paste — non-custodial, wallet to wallet.
What if I use the wrong network for ADA?
Only send on the network shown for the order (Cardano mainnet). Wrong-chain deposits can be unrecoverable — review the safety guides before you broadcast.
