Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ETH to send and paste the Solana address that should receive funds on Solana mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast ETH to that destination. Once confirmations clear, SOL 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 SOL? 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.
Solana — high-speed layer-1
SOL is the native token of Solana — built for fast, low-cost transfers and a large ecosystem of on-chain apps.
SOL not showing in my wallet?
Refresh or resync your Solana wallet. If the order shows a sent tx, verify the address matches exactly.
How fast is the SOL payout?
Solana settlements are typically very quick once your deposit confirms.
- Most SOL payouts land within minutes — often faster than Bitcoin or Ethereum routes.
- Check the order page for a payout signature before contacting support.
- Keep a small SOL balance in your wallet for future transaction fees.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap ETH for SOL 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) → Solana swaps.
How fast is a ETH → SOL swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows Base mainnet deposit confirmations and Solana mainnet payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my ETH or SOL?
No. You fund the deposit from your wallet and SOL 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.
