Tunnel in 3 steps

  1. Enter the BTC amount and paste the Ethereum mainnet address that should receive ETH.

  2. Create the swap order to lock pricing and reveal a one-time BTC deposit address.

  3. Send BTC from your wallet. After Bitcoin confirms, ETH is delivered to your payout address.

Before you broadcast

  • A single Bitcoin confirmation is usually enough before TunnelSwap starts the ETH payout leg.
  • BTC speed tracks mempool load and the fee you choose — quiet periods confirm faster than fee wars.
  • SegWit (bc1…) deposits typically cost less and confirm sooner. Legacy-only wallets should check with support before sending.
  • ETH still missing? Wait for wallet sync, then contact support with your Exchange ID if the order already shows a payout hash.

Bitcoin — the original digital asset

Since 2009, Bitcoin has been the benchmark cryptocurrency — deep liquidity, wide recognition, and the default on-ramp for cross-chain swaps.

Before you send BTC

  • Confirm your wallet can send to SegWit (bc1…) addresses.
  • Leave enough for a network fee — low fees mean slower confirmation.
  • Send only BTC on Bitcoin mainnet to the address on your order page.

How long until Bitcoin confirms?

Block times vary with network load and your chosen fee.

  • Use mempool.space or similar tools to check whether your fee is competitive.
  • Explorers show queue position — compare against pending transaction volume.
  • Average block interval is ~10 minutes, but longer gaps happen.

Why traders move BTC to other chains

Bitcoin offers deep liquidity and wide recognition — many swaps start with BTC as the funding asset.

Moving into Ethereum, stablecoins, or alt L1s lets you access DeFi, payments, or portfolio diversification without a custodial account.

You receive

Ethereum — programmable money on-chain

ETH powers Ethereum mainnet — gas, staking, DeFi, and most smart-contract activity in crypto live here.

What if my ETH hasn't arrived?

Check the order page for a payout transaction hash first.

Confirm your wallet is on Ethereum mainnet and fully synced.

How fast is the ETH payout?

Most payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms — Ethereum blocks are ~12 seconds apart.

Receiving ETH on the correct network

  • Payouts go to Ethereum mainnet — not BSC, Base, Arbitrum, or other L2s unless your order explicitly lists them.
  • Double-check the address you paste: one wrong character sends funds to an unreachable wallet.
  • Self-custody wallets (MetaMask, Rabby, hardware devices) are recommended for long-term holding.

Float vs fixed rate on ETH payouts

The rate mode you pick at the top of the swap widget affects how your final ETH amount is calculated.

  • Float rate follows the market until your deposit confirms — best when mempools are quiet.
  • Fixed rate locks the quote for a short window — useful when ETH price is moving quickly.
