Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much DASH to send and paste the Cardano address that should receive funds on Cardano mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast DASH to that destination. Once confirmations clear, ADA is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Deposits on Dash mainnet follow that chain's confirmation times.
- Network congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Send only DASH on Dash mainnet to the address on your order page.
- Still waiting on ADA? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
Dash
Always match DASH on Dash mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports Dash mainnet.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your wallet.
Cardano — research-driven layer-1
ADA is the native token of Cardano — a proof-of-stake network focused on security and formal verification.
ADA payout delays
Resync your Cardano wallet if the order shows a sent transaction but balance is unchanged.
When will ADA arrive?
Cardano block times are around 20 seconds — payouts typically follow within several blocks.
- Use a Shelley-era Cardano address compatible with your wallet.
- Check a Cardano explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Allow a few extra minutes if your wallet is still syncing the latest epoch.

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