Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ARB to send and paste the Stellar address that should receive funds on Stellar mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast ARB to that destination. Once confirmations clear, XLM 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 XLM? 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.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
XLM not visible yet?
Resync your Stellar wallet. If the order shows a sent transaction, verify the address and memo match your wallet.
When will XLM arrive?
Stellar settlements are usually very quick once your deposit confirms.
- Check Stellar Expert or a similar explorer with the payout tx hash.
- Confirm whether your wallet needs a destination memo for incoming funds.
- Keep a small XLM reserve if your wallet requires a minimum balance.

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