Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XLM 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 XLM to that destination. Once confirmations clear, ETC is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Stellar confirmations are typically very fast — often within seconds.
- A minimum XLM balance may be required to activate or maintain your Stellar account.
- Use a Stellar mainnet address (starts with G…). Include a memo if your receive wallet or exchange requires one.
- 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.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
Sending XLM on Stellar
Send native XLM on Stellar mainnet from a compatible wallet.
If your payout destination requires a memo, enter it exactly on your order form — missing memos are a common support issue.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap XLM 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 Stellar → Ethereum Classic swaps.
How fast is a XLM → ETC swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows Stellar mainnet deposit confirmations and Ethereum Classic mainnet payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my XLM 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 XLM?
Only send on the network shown for the order (Stellar mainnet). Wrong-chain deposits can be unrecoverable — review the safety guides before you broadcast.
