Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much TRX to send and paste the Bitcoin address that should receive funds on Bitcoin mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast TRX to that destination. Once confirmations clear, BTC is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Tron confirmations are typically very fast — often under a minute.
- Keep a small TRX balance for bandwidth and energy when sending TRC-20 tokens.
- Use a Tron mainnet address (T…) — do not send TRX on other chains.
- Still waiting on BTC? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
Tron — fast, low-cost transfers
TRX is the native token of Tron — quick settlements, low fees, and the chain behind most TRC-20 USDT volume.
Sending TRX on Tron
Send native TRX on Tron mainnet only. Wrapped TRX on other chains is a different asset.
Leave enough TRX for network fees if you also move TRC-20 tokens from the same wallet.
Bitcoin — the original digital asset
Since 2009, Bitcoin has been the benchmark cryptocurrency — deep liquidity, wide recognition, and the default on-ramp for cross-chain swaps.
When is my BTC spendable?
After your payout transaction receives the confirmations shown on the order page — typically one or more blocks depending on route.
Checking your BTC payout
- Open the order page and copy the payout transaction hash into a Bitcoin block explorer.
- Confirm the destination address matches your wallet exactly — including case and format.
- Most wallets show incoming BTC after one confirmation; some exchanges wait for more.

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