Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much SOL to send and paste the Stellar address that should receive funds on Stellar mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast SOL to that destination. Once confirmations clear, XLM 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 XLM? 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.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
XLM not visible yet?
Resync your Stellar wallet. If the order shows a sent transaction, verify the address and memo match your wallet.
When will XLM arrive?
Stellar settlements are usually very quick once your deposit confirms.
- Check Stellar Expert or a similar explorer with the payout tx hash.
- Confirm whether your wallet needs a destination memo for incoming funds.
- Keep a small XLM reserve if your wallet requires a minimum balance.

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