Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ZEC to send and paste the Solana address that should receive funds on Solana mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast ZEC to that destination. Once confirmations clear, SOL 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 SOL? 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.
Solana — high-speed layer-1
SOL is the native token of Solana — built for fast, low-cost transfers and a large ecosystem of on-chain apps.
SOL not showing in my wallet?
Refresh or resync your Solana wallet. If the order shows a sent tx, verify the address matches exactly.
How fast is the SOL payout?
Solana settlements are typically very quick once your deposit confirms.
- Most SOL payouts land within minutes — often faster than Bitcoin or Ethereum routes.
- Check the order page for a payout signature before contacting support.
- Keep a small SOL balance in your wallet for future transaction fees.

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