Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ADA to send and paste the Toncoin address that should receive funds on TON mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast ADA to that destination. Once confirmations clear, TON 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 TON? 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.
Toncoin — Telegram-native layer-1
TON powers The Open Network — fast transfers, low fees, and deep integration with Telegram wallets and mini-apps.
TON payout not showing?
Refresh your TON wallet. Verify the receive address matches your order exactly — UQ… and EQ… formats are both common.
How fast is the TON payout?
TON blocks are fast — most payouts arrive within minutes after your deposit confirms.
- Check the order page for a payout transaction hash on Tonviewer or a similar explorer.
- Confirm your wallet is on TON mainnet, not a wrapped or alternate-chain version.
- Allow a minute for your wallet to refresh after the explorer shows the transfer.

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