Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ETH to send and paste the Ripple address that should receive funds on XRP Ledger.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast ETH to that destination. Once confirmations clear, XRP 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 XRP? 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.
XRP — fast ledger settlements
XRP moves quickly on the XRP Ledger — designed for rapid settlement with minimal transaction fees.
XRP payout delays
If XRP is missing, verify destination tag requirements and that your wallet supports the XRP Ledger mainnet.
When will XRP arrive?
XRP Ledger settlements are among the fastest in crypto — often seconds after your deposit confirms.
- Check whether your receiving wallet requires a destination tag and that you entered it on the order form.
- Leave enough XRP reserve if your wallet needs a minimum balance to activate the account.
- Use the payout tx hash on an XRP Ledger explorer if your wallet balance has not updated.

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