Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much OP to send and paste the Litecoin address that should receive funds on Litecoin mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast OP to that destination. Once confirmations clear, LTC is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Optimism confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send OP on Optimism mainnet only — not Ethereum, Base, or Arbitrum unless your order says otherwise.
- Use an Optimism-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Optimism for gas if sending ERC-20 tokens.
- Still waiting on LTC? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
Optimism — Ethereum L2 with low fees
OP is the governance token of Optimism — an Ethereum rollup with fast, low-cost transfers and deep Superchain liquidity.
OP on Optimism mainnet
Use an Optimism wallet for deposits. L1 Ethereum or other L2 sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH on Optimism for gas when moving OP or other tokens.
Litecoin — Bitcoin's first fork
Litecoin (LTC) is a 2011 Bitcoin fork created by Charlie Lee, with early input from other developers including a former Google engineer. It keeps peer-to-peer transfers but targets faster blocks and lower everyday fees. Traders often call it "digital silver."
When will LTC arrive?
Usually within several blocks after your deposit confirms — often under 15 minutes in normal conditions.
LTC payout troubleshooting
- Verify your Litecoin address format matches what your wallet expects (Legacy, SegWit, or M-address).
- Check a Litecoin explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Resync your wallet if the transaction is confirmed on-chain but balance is unchanged.

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