Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XMR to send and paste the io.net address that should receive funds on SPL on Solana.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast XMR to that destination. Once confirmations clear, IO 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 IO? 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.
io.net on Solana
Always match IO on SPL on Solana when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Receiving IO
Your wallet must be on SPL on Solana.
Allow a few minutes after the order shows sent before opening support.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap XMR for IO 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 → io.net swaps.
How fast is a XMR → IO swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows Monero mainnet deposit confirmations and SPL on Solana payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my XMR or IO?
No. You fund the deposit from your wallet and IO 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.
