Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much AVAX to send and paste the Dai address that should receive funds on ERC-20 on Ethereum.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast AVAX to that destination. Once confirmations clear, DAI is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Avalanche C-Chain confirmations are typically very fast — often under a minute.
- Send AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain only — not X-Chain or P-Chain unless your order specifies them.
- Use a C-Chain compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough AVAX for gas.
- Still waiting on DAI? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
Avalanche — fast smart-contract L1
AVAX is the native token of Avalanche C-Chain — quick finality, EVM compatibility, and deep cross-chain liquidity.
AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain
Use an Avalanche C-Chain wallet for deposits. X-Chain and P-Chain addresses are not interchangeable with C-Chain.
Leave enough AVAX in your wallet to cover gas on top of the swap amount.
Dai on Ethereum
Always match DAI on ERC-20 on Ethereum when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Receiving DAI
Your wallet must be on ERC-20 on Ethereum.
Allow a few minutes after the order shows sent before opening support.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap AVAX for DAI on TunnelSwap?
No. TunnelSwap is an anonymous no-KYC, privacy-first exchange. There is no account, no ID upload, and no standing balance for Avalanche → Dai swaps.
How fast is a AVAX → DAI swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows Avalanche C-Chain deposit confirmations and ERC-20 on Ethereum payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my AVAX or DAI?
No. You fund the deposit from your wallet and DAI is sent straight to the address you paste — non-custodial, wallet to wallet.
What if I use the wrong network for AVAX?
Only send on the network shown for the order (Avalanche C-Chain). Wrong-chain deposits can be unrecoverable — review the safety guides before you broadcast.
