Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much AVAX to send and paste the Decred address that should receive funds on Decred mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast AVAX to that destination. Once confirmations clear, DCR 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 DCR? 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.
Decred
Always match DCR on Decred mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Receiving DCR
Your wallet must be on Decred mainnet.
Allow a few minutes after the order shows sent before opening support.
Before you swap
Avoid wrong-network deposits and address format mistakes — read these guides first.

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