Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ETC to send and paste the Bitcoin Cash address that should receive funds on Bitcoin Cash mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast ETC to that destination. Once confirmations clear, BCH is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Deposits on Ethereum Classic mainnet follow that chain's confirmation times.
- Network congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Send only ETC on Ethereum Classic mainnet to the address on your order page.
- Still waiting on BCH? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.

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