Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XRP to send and paste the Ethereum address that should receive funds on Ethereum mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast XRP to that destination. Once confirmations clear, ETH is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- XRP Ledger confirmations are typically very fast — often seconds.
- If your receiving account requires a destination tag, enter it exactly on the order form.
- Leave enough XRP reserve if your wallet requires a minimum balance to activate the account.
- Still waiting on ETH? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
XRP — fast ledger settlements
XRP moves quickly on the XRP Ledger — designed for rapid settlement with minimal transaction fees.
Destination tags on XRP
Exchanges and custodial wallets often require a destination tag — missing tags delay or complicate crediting.
Self-custody addresses may not need a tag; check what your wallet provider expects.
Ethereum — programmable money on-chain
ETH powers Ethereum mainnet — gas, staking, DeFi, and most smart-contract activity in crypto live here.
What if my ETH hasn't arrived?
Check the order page for a payout transaction hash first.
Confirm your wallet is on Ethereum mainnet and fully synced.
How fast is the ETH payout?
Most payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms — Ethereum blocks are ~12 seconds apart.
Receiving ETH on the correct network
- Payouts go to Ethereum mainnet — not BSC, Base, Arbitrum, or other L2s unless your order explicitly lists them.
- Double-check the address you paste: one wrong character sends funds to an unreachable wallet.
- Self-custody wallets (MetaMask, Rabby, hardware devices) are recommended for long-term holding.
Float vs fixed rate on ETH payouts
The rate mode you pick at the top of the swap widget affects how your final ETH amount is calculated.
- Float rate follows the market until your deposit confirms — best when mempools are quiet.
- Fixed rate locks the quote for a short window — useful when ETH price is moving quickly.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap XRP for ETH on TunnelSwap?
No. TunnelSwap is an anonymous no-KYC, privacy-first exchange. There is no account, no ID upload, and no standing balance for Ripple → Ethereum swaps.
How fast is a XRP → ETH swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows XRP Ledger deposit confirmations and Ethereum mainnet payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my XRP or ETH?
No. You fund the deposit from your wallet and ETH is sent straight to the address you paste — non-custodial, wallet to wallet.
What if I use the wrong network for XRP?
Only send on the network shown for the order (XRP Ledger). Wrong-chain deposits can be unrecoverable — review the safety guides before you broadcast.
