Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ETH to send and paste the Toncoin address that should receive funds on TON mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast ETH to that destination. Once confirmations clear, TON 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 TON? 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.
Toncoin — Telegram-native layer-1
TON powers The Open Network — fast transfers, low fees, and deep integration with Telegram wallets and mini-apps.
TON payout not showing?
Refresh your TON wallet. Verify the receive address matches your order exactly — UQ… and EQ… formats are both common.
How fast is the TON payout?
TON blocks are fast — most payouts arrive within minutes after your deposit confirms.
- Check the order page for a payout transaction hash on Tonviewer or a similar explorer.
- Confirm your wallet is on TON mainnet, not a wrapped or alternate-chain version.
- Allow a minute for your wallet to refresh after the explorer shows the transfer.

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