Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ETH to send and paste the Arbitrum address that should receive funds on Arbitrum One.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast ETH to that destination. Once confirmations clear, ARB is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Base confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send ETH on Base mainnet only — not Ethereum L1, Optimism, or Arbitrum unless your order says otherwise.
- Use a Base-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Base for gas on top of the swap amount.
- Still waiting on ARB? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
ETH on Base — Coinbase L2
Native ETH on Base — Ethereum's value on Coinbase's L2 with low fees, fast finality, and growing on-chain activity.
ETH on Base mainnet
Use a Base wallet for deposits. Ethereum mainnet ETH is a different network — wrong-chain sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH on Base for gas in addition to the amount you swap.
Arbitrum — leading Ethereum rollup
ARB is the governance token of Arbitrum One — an optimistic rollup with EVM compatibility and wide DeFi adoption.
ARB not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Arbitrum One and fully synced.
ARB payout tips
- Payouts go to Arbitrum One — use a 0x-style address on the correct chain.
- Check Arbiscan with the payout tx hash if your balance has not updated.
- Do not expect ARB on Ethereum mainnet unless your order explicitly lists it.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap ETH for ARB 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 (Base) → Arbitrum swaps.
How fast is a ETH → ARB swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows Base mainnet deposit confirmations and Arbitrum One payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my ETH or ARB?
No. You fund the deposit from your wallet and ARB is sent straight to the address you paste — non-custodial, wallet to wallet.
What if I use the wrong network for ETH?
Only send on the network shown for the order (Base mainnet). Wrong-chain deposits can be unrecoverable — review the safety guides before you broadcast.
