Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much TON to send and paste the Ethereum (Base) address that should receive funds on Base mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast TON to that destination. Once confirmations clear, ETH is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- TON confirmations are typically very fast — often under a minute.
- Use a TON mainnet wallet address (UQ… or EQ… format). Do not send jettons unless your order specifies a token.
- Send native TON on The Open Network only — not wrapped TON on other chains.
- Still waiting on ETH? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
Toncoin — Telegram-native layer-1
TON powers The Open Network — fast transfers, low fees, and deep integration with Telegram wallets and mini-apps.
Sending TON on mainnet
Send native TON from a TON-compatible wallet. Jetton deposits require the exact asset your order lists.
Leave enough TON in your wallet to cover network fees on top of the swap amount.
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.
Base ETH not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Base mainnet and fully synced — not Ethereum L1.
Base ETH payout tips
- Payouts go to Base — verify your wallet network is Base (chain ID 8453).
- Check Basescan with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Bridging to Ethereum L1 is a separate step after you receive ETH on Base.

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