Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much SOL to send and paste the Avalanche address that should receive funds on Avalanche C-Chain.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast SOL to that destination. Once confirmations clear, AVAX is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Solana confirmations are fast — often under a minute for practical purposes.
- Network outages or congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Use a Solana mainnet address (base58). Do not send SPL tokens unless the order specifies a token mint.
- Still waiting on AVAX? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
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.
Solana deposit tips
Send native SOL on Solana mainnet. Token deposits require the exact asset your order lists.
Keep a small SOL balance for rent-exempt account requirements in some wallets.
Avalanche — fast smart-contract L1
AVAX is the native token of Avalanche C-Chain — quick finality, EVM compatibility, and deep cross-chain liquidity.
AVAX not received?
Confirm your wallet is set to Avalanche C-Chain and fully synced.
AVAX payout tips
- Payouts go to Avalanche C-Chain — use a 0x-style address compatible with your wallet.
- Check Snowtrace or a similar explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Allow a minute for your wallet to refresh after the explorer shows the transfer.

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