Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ADA to send and paste the Tron address that should receive funds on Tron mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast ADA to that destination. Once confirmations clear, TRX 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 TRX? 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.
Tron — fast, low-cost transfers
TRX is the native token of Tron — quick settlements, low fees, and the chain behind most TRC-20 USDT volume.
TRX payout not showing?
Refresh your Tron wallet. Verify the receive address starts with T and matches your order exactly.
How fast is the TRX payout?
Tron confirmations are typically very fast — most TRX payouts arrive within minutes.
- Check the order page for a payout transaction hash on Tronscan or a similar explorer.
- Confirm your wallet is on Tron mainnet, not an EVM or other wrapped TRX network.
- Keep a small TRX balance for bandwidth if you plan to move TRC-20 tokens afterward.

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