Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much USDT to send and paste the Ethereum Classic address that should receive funds on Ethereum Classic mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast USDT to that destination. Once confirmations clear, ETC is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- ERC-20 USDT follows Ethereum confirmation times.
- Send USDT on Ethereum mainnet only — not Tron TRC-20.
- Leave ETH in your wallet for gas when sending ERC-20 USDT.
- Still waiting on ETC? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
Tether — dollar-pegged stablecoin
USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) is widely used in DeFi — send only on Ethereum mainnet.
USDT on Ethereum mainnet
Use an ERC-20 compatible Ethereum address. TRC-20 USDT is a different asset.
Ethereum Classic
Always match ETC on Ethereum Classic mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Receiving ETC
Your wallet must be on Ethereum Classic mainnet.
Allow a few minutes after the order shows sent before opening support.
Before you swap
Avoid wrong-network deposits and address format mistakes — read these guides first.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap USDT for ETC on TunnelSwap?
No. TunnelSwap is an anonymous no-KYC, privacy-first exchange. There is no account, no ID upload, and no standing balance for Tether → Ethereum Classic swaps.
How fast is a USDT → ETC swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows ERC-20 on Ethereum deposit confirmations and Ethereum Classic mainnet payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my USDT or ETC?
No. You fund the deposit from your wallet and ETC is sent straight to the address you paste — non-custodial, wallet to wallet.
What if I use the wrong network for USDT?
Only send on the network shown for the order (ERC-20 on Ethereum). Wrong-chain deposits can be unrecoverable — review the safety guides before you broadcast.
