Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ARB to send and paste the Polygon address that should receive funds on Polygon mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast ARB to that destination. Once confirmations clear, MATIC 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 MATIC? 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.
Polygon — low-cost EVM layer-2
MATIC (POL) powers Polygon — fast EVM transfers, low fees, and wide DeFi and bridge liquidity.
MATIC not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Polygon PoS mainnet and fully synced.
MATIC payout tips
- Use a Polygon-compatible wallet and verify the receive address starts with 0x.
- Check Polygonscan with the payout tx hash if your balance has not updated.
- Do not expect MATIC on Ethereum — this route pays out on Polygon PoS.

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