Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XMR to send and paste the Celo address that should receive funds on Celo mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast XMR to that destination. Once confirmations clear, CELO is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Monero requires confirmations before funds are considered final — wallet sync matters.
- Allow time for your Monero wallet to scan new blocks after receipt.
- Use a fresh subaddress for each swap. Avoid reusing old XMR receive addresses.
- Still waiting on CELO? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
Monero — private by default
Monero uses ring signatures and one-time addresses so amounts and addresses stay confidential on-chain.
Monero wallet sync
An out-of-sync wallet may not display incoming funds even after the order shows a payout.
Compare your wallet block height with a public Monero explorer before opening a support ticket.
Celo
Always match CELO on Celo mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Receiving CELO
Your wallet must be on Celo 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 XMR for CELO on TunnelSwap?
No. TunnelSwap is an anonymous no-KYC, privacy-first exchange. There is no account, no ID upload, and no standing balance for Monero → Celo swaps.
How fast is a XMR → CELO swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows Monero mainnet deposit confirmations and Celo mainnet payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my XMR or CELO?
No. You fund the deposit from your wallet and CELO is sent straight to the address you paste — non-custodial, wallet to wallet.
What if I use the wrong network for XMR?
Only send on the network shown for the order (Monero mainnet). Wrong-chain deposits can be unrecoverable — review the safety guides before you broadcast.
