Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much DOGE 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 DOGE to that destination. Once confirmations clear, ZEC is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Dogecoin typically needs several confirmations before the swap continues.
- Blocks target about one minute — still subject to mempool delays.
- Send DOGE on Dogecoin mainnet only — not BSC or other wrapped variants unless your order says otherwise.
- 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.
Dogecoin — fast, low-fee payments
DOGE started as a meme coin but remains widely used for tips and transfers — quick blocks and low fees on its own mainnet.
Sending DOGE
Use a standard Dogecoin address from your wallet.
Leave enough DOGE for the network fee on top of the swap amount.
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 DOGE 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 Dogecoin → Zcash swaps.
How fast is a DOGE → ZEC swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows Dogecoin mainnet deposit confirmations and Zcash mainnet payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my DOGE 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 DOGE?
Only send on the network shown for the order (Dogecoin mainnet). Wrong-chain deposits can be unrecoverable — review the safety guides before you broadcast.
