Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XRP to send and paste the Zcash address that should receive funds on Zcash mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast XRP to that destination. Once confirmations clear, ZEC 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 ZEC? 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.
Zcash — optional shielded privacy
ZEC supports transparent and shielded addresses — pick the receive format your wallet actually supports.
ZEC receipt troubleshooting
Confirm address type matches your wallet. Rescan the blockchain in your Zcash client if needed.
Transparent vs shielded payouts
Zcash supports both transparent (t-) and shielded (z-) addresses — they are not interchangeable.
- Use the address type your wallet actually supports before placing the order.
- Shielded payouts may take longer to appear depending on wallet software.
- If the order shows a sent tx but balance is zero, rescan the chain in your Zcash client first.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap XRP for ZEC 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 → Zcash swaps.
How fast is a XRP → ZEC swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows XRP Ledger deposit confirmations and Zcash mainnet payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my XRP or ZEC?
No. You fund the deposit from your wallet and ZEC 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.
