Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ADA to send and paste the Solana address that should receive funds on Solana mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast ADA to that destination. Once confirmations clear, SOL 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 SOL? 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.
Solana — high-speed layer-1
SOL is the native token of Solana — built for fast, low-cost transfers and a large ecosystem of on-chain apps.
SOL not showing in my wallet?
Refresh or resync your Solana wallet. If the order shows a sent tx, verify the address matches exactly.
How fast is the SOL payout?
Solana settlements are typically very quick once your deposit confirms.
- Most SOL payouts land within minutes — often faster than Bitcoin or Ethereum routes.
- Check the order page for a payout signature before contacting support.
- Keep a small SOL balance in your wallet for future transaction fees.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap ADA for SOL 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 → Solana swaps.
How fast is a ADA → SOL swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows Cardano mainnet deposit confirmations and Solana mainnet payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my ADA or SOL?
No. You fund the deposit from your wallet and SOL 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.
