Tunnel in 3 steps

  1. Set the BTC amount and paste a Monero mainnet receive address — a fresh subaddress is recommended.

  2. Create the order to lock the quote and see the BTC deposit address.

  3. Send BTC on Bitcoin mainnet. After confirmation, XMR is paid to your wallet.

Before you broadcast

  • One Bitcoin confirmation is usually enough before the XMR payout leg starts.
  • Use a SegWit (bc1…) BTC send address if your wallet supports it — lower fees and faster inclusion.
  • Use a fresh Monero subaddress for each swap. Avoid reusing old XMR receive addresses.
  • XMR not visible yet? Allow your Monero wallet time to sync — incoming outputs can take several minutes to appear.

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

Monero — private by default

Monero uses ring signatures and one-time addresses so amounts and addresses stay confidential on-chain.

XMR not visible yet?

Wait for wallet sync to complete — Monero often needs several minutes to reflect incoming outputs.

If the order lists a payout tx but your synced wallet shows nothing, contact support.

Receiving XMR privately

Monero payouts use one-time addresses — your wallet must finish scanning recent blocks to display the balance.

  • Use a fresh subaddress for each swap rather than reusing old receive addresses.
  • Compare your wallet block height with a public explorer before assuming a payout failed.
  • Allow extra time after the order shows sent — privacy features can delay wallet display.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need KYC to swap BTC into XMR?

No. TunnelSwap runs an anonymous no-KYC, privacy-first swap — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Bitcoin → Monero.

Why swap BTC into XMR for privacy?

Bitcoin is transparent on-chain; Monero uses default privacy features. Many users bridge BTC into XMR before holding or spending privately — always use a fresh Monero subaddress for each order.

How fast is a BTC → XMR swap?

Typical completion is a few minutes. Bitcoin usually needs one confirmation; Monero payout may take a few minutes to appear after your wallet syncs.

What address format should I use for XMR?

Use a Monero mainnet subaddress your wallet generates. SegWit (bc1…) BTC sends are recommended on the deposit side when your wallet supports them.
