Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much BNB to send and paste the Zcash address that should receive funds on Zcash mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast BNB to that destination. Once confirmations clear, ZEC is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- BSC confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send BNB on BNB Smart Chain only — not BEP2 or other networks unless your order specifies them.
- Leave enough BNB for gas when sending BEP-20 tokens from the same wallet.
- Still waiting on ZEC? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
BNB — native gas on BSC
BNB powers BNB Smart Chain — fast EVM transfers and the gas token for BEP-20 tokens on BSC.
BNB on BSC
Use a BSC-compatible wallet and address (0x…).
Do not send BNB on Ethereum or other chains — wrapped versions are different assets.
Zcash — optional shielded privacy
ZEC supports transparent and shielded addresses — pick the receive format your wallet actually supports.
ZEC receipt troubleshooting
Confirm address type matches your wallet. Rescan the blockchain in your Zcash client if needed.
Transparent vs shielded payouts
Zcash supports both transparent (t-) and shielded (z-) addresses — they are not interchangeable.
- Use the address type your wallet actually supports before placing the order.
- Shielded payouts may take longer to appear depending on wallet software.
- If the order shows a sent tx but balance is zero, rescan the chain in your Zcash client first.

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