Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ARB to send and paste the Avalanche address that should receive funds on Avalanche C-Chain.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast ARB to that destination. Once confirmations clear, AVAX is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Arbitrum confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send ARB on Arbitrum One only — not Ethereum, Optimism, or Base unless your order says otherwise.
- Use an Arbitrum-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Arbitrum for gas if needed.
- Still waiting on AVAX? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
Arbitrum — leading Ethereum rollup
ARB is the governance token of Arbitrum One — an optimistic rollup with EVM compatibility and wide DeFi adoption.
ARB on Arbitrum One
Use an Arbitrum One wallet for deposits. Other chains use different assets even with the same ticker.
Leave enough ETH on Arbitrum for gas on top of the swap amount when required.
Avalanche — fast smart-contract L1
AVAX is the native token of Avalanche C-Chain — quick finality, EVM compatibility, and deep cross-chain liquidity.
AVAX not received?
Confirm your wallet is set to Avalanche C-Chain and fully synced.
AVAX payout tips
- Payouts go to Avalanche C-Chain — use a 0x-style address compatible with your wallet.
- Check Snowtrace or a similar explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Allow a minute for your wallet to refresh after the explorer shows the transfer.

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