Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much VET 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 VET to that destination. Once confirmations clear, ZEC is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Deposits on VeChain mainnet follow that chain's confirmation times.
- Network congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Send only VET on VeChain mainnet to the address on your order page.
- 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.
VeChain
Always match VET on VeChain mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports VeChain mainnet.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your 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 VET 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 VeChain → Zcash swaps.
How fast is a VET → ZEC swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows VeChain mainnet deposit confirmations and Zcash mainnet payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my VET 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 VET?
Only send on the network shown for the order (VeChain mainnet). Wrong-chain deposits can be unrecoverable — review the safety guides before you broadcast.
