Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ZEC to send and paste the Dogecoin address that should receive funds on Dogecoin mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast ZEC to that destination. Once confirmations clear, DOGE is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Zcash confirmations follow mainnet block times — usually a few minutes.
- Transparent (t-) and shielded (z-) addresses are not interchangeable — use the type your order specifies.
- Shielded payouts may take longer to appear depending on wallet support.
- Still waiting on DOGE? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
Zcash — optional shielded privacy
ZEC supports transparent and shielded addresses — pick the receive format your wallet actually supports.
Transparent vs shielded ZEC
Sending to the wrong address type is a common failure mode.
If unsure, ask support which format your order uses before broadcasting.
Dogecoin — fast, low-fee payments
DOGE started as a meme coin but remains widely used for tips and transfers — quick blocks and low fees on its own mainnet.
DOGE payout not showing?
Refresh your wallet and verify the receive address matches your order exactly.
When will DOGE arrive?
Dogecoin blocks target about one minute — payouts usually follow within several confirmations.
- Use a Dogecoin mainnet wallet, not a wrapped or exchange-only address on another chain.
- Check the payout tx on a Dogecoin explorer using the hash from your order page.
- Low network congestion means DOGE payouts are often faster than Bitcoin routes.

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