Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much S to send and paste the Monero address that should receive funds on Monero mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast S to that destination. Once confirmations clear, XMR is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Deposits on Sonic mainnet follow that chain's confirmation times.
- Network congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Send only S on Sonic mainnet to the address on your order page.
- Still waiting on XMR? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
Sonic
Always match S on Sonic mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports Sonic mainnet.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your wallet.
Monero — private by default
Monero uses ring signatures and one-time addresses so amounts and addresses stay confidential on-chain.
XMR not visible yet?
Wait for wallet sync to complete — Monero often needs several minutes to reflect incoming outputs.
If the order lists a payout tx but your synced wallet shows nothing, contact support.
Receiving XMR privately
Monero payouts use one-time addresses — your wallet must finish scanning recent blocks to display the balance.
- Use a fresh subaddress for each swap rather than reusing old receive addresses.
- Compare your wallet block height with a public explorer before assuming a payout failed.
- Allow extra time after the order shows sent — privacy features can delay wallet display.
Before you swap
Avoid wrong-network deposits and address format mistakes — read these guides first.

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