Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much USDT to send and paste the Dai address that should receive funds on ERC-20 on Ethereum.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast USDT to that destination. Once confirmations clear, DAI is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- TRC-20 USDT confirms quickly on Tron — usually within a minute or two.
- Never send USDT on the wrong network. TRC-20, ERC-20, and other variants are not interchangeable.
- Keep a small TRX balance in your wallet to pay Tron energy/bandwidth for TRC-20 sends.
- Still waiting on DAI? 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 tracks the US dollar and is widely used for trading and transfers — always match the correct chain (TRC-20, ERC-20, etc.).
USDT network mismatch
The most common error is sending ERC-20 USDT to a TRC-20 address or vice versa.
Double-check the network badge on your order before sending.
Dai on Ethereum
Always match DAI on ERC-20 on Ethereum when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Receiving DAI
Your wallet must be on ERC-20 on Ethereum.
Allow a few minutes after the order shows sent before opening support.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap USDT for DAI 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 → Dai swaps.
How fast is a USDT → DAI swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows TRC-20 on Tron deposit confirmations and ERC-20 on Ethereum payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my USDT or DAI?
No. You fund the deposit from your wallet and DAI 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 (TRC-20 on Tron). Wrong-chain deposits can be unrecoverable — review the safety guides before you broadcast.
