Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XLM to send and paste the Litecoin address that should receive funds on Litecoin mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast XLM to that destination. Once confirmations clear, LTC 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 LTC? 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.
Litecoin — Bitcoin's first fork
Litecoin (LTC) is a 2011 Bitcoin fork created by Charlie Lee, with early input from other developers including a former Google engineer. It keeps peer-to-peer transfers but targets faster blocks and lower everyday fees. Traders often call it "digital silver."
When will LTC arrive?
Usually within several blocks after your deposit confirms — often under 15 minutes in normal conditions.
LTC payout troubleshooting
- Verify your Litecoin address format matches what your wallet expects (Legacy, SegWit, or M-address).
- Check a Litecoin explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Resync your wallet if the transaction is confirmed on-chain but balance is unchanged.

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