Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much TRX to send and paste the Zcash address that should receive funds on Zcash mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast TRX to that destination. Once confirmations clear, ZEC 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 ZEC? 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.
Zcash — optional shielded privacy
ZEC supports transparent and shielded addresses — pick the receive format your wallet actually supports.
ZEC receipt troubleshooting
Confirm address type matches your wallet. Rescan the blockchain in your Zcash client if needed.
Transparent vs shielded payouts
Zcash supports both transparent (t-) and shielded (z-) addresses — they are not interchangeable.
- Use the address type your wallet actually supports before placing the order.
- Shielded payouts may take longer to appear depending on wallet software.
- If the order shows a sent tx but balance is zero, rescan the chain in your Zcash client first.

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