Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XMR 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 XMR to that destination. Once confirmations clear, LTC 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 LTC? 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.
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 XMR 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 Monero → Litecoin swaps.
How fast is a XMR → LTC swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows Monero mainnet deposit confirmations and Litecoin mainnet payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my XMR 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 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.
