Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XMR to send and paste the Ordinals address that should receive funds on Ordinals (BRC-20).
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast XMR to that destination. Once confirmations clear, ORDI 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 ORDI? 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.
Ordinals on Ordinals (BRC-20)

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap XMR for ORDI 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 → Ordinals swaps.
How fast is a XMR → ORDI swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows Monero mainnet deposit confirmations and Ordinals (BRC-20) payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my XMR or ORDI?
No. You fund the deposit from your wallet and ORDI 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.
