Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XRP to send and paste the Ethereum (Base) address that should receive funds on Base 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.
ETH on Base — Coinbase L2
Native ETH on Base — Ethereum's value on Coinbase's L2 with low fees, fast finality, and growing on-chain activity.
Base ETH not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Base mainnet and fully synced — not Ethereum L1.
Base ETH payout tips
- Payouts go to Base — verify your wallet network is Base (chain ID 8453).
- Check Basescan with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Bridging to Ethereum L1 is a separate step after you receive ETH on Base.

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 (Base) swaps.
How fast is a XRP → ETH swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows XRP Ledger deposit confirmations and Base 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.
