Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much DCR to send and paste the Ethereum Classic address that should receive funds on Ethereum Classic mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast DCR to that destination. Once confirmations clear, ETC is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Deposits on Decred mainnet follow that chain's confirmation times.
- Network congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Send only DCR on Decred mainnet to the address on your order page.
- Still waiting on ETC? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
Decred
Always match DCR on Decred mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports Decred mainnet.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your wallet.
Ethereum Classic
Always match ETC on Ethereum Classic mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Receiving ETC
Your wallet must be on Ethereum Classic 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 DCR for ETC on TunnelSwap?
No. TunnelSwap is an anonymous no-KYC, privacy-first exchange. There is no account, no ID upload, and no standing balance for Decred → Ethereum Classic swaps.
How fast is a DCR → ETC swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows Decred mainnet deposit confirmations and Ethereum Classic mainnet payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my DCR or ETC?
No. You fund the deposit from your wallet and ETC is sent straight to the address you paste — non-custodial, wallet to wallet.
What if I use the wrong network for DCR?
Only send on the network shown for the order (Decred mainnet). Wrong-chain deposits can be unrecoverable — review the safety guides before you broadcast.
