Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ZEC to send and paste the Ripple address that should receive funds on XRP Ledger.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast ZEC to that destination. Once confirmations clear, XRP 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 XRP? 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.
XRP — fast ledger settlements
XRP moves quickly on the XRP Ledger — designed for rapid settlement with minimal transaction fees.
XRP payout delays
If XRP is missing, verify destination tag requirements and that your wallet supports the XRP Ledger mainnet.
When will XRP arrive?
XRP Ledger settlements are among the fastest in crypto — often seconds after your deposit confirms.
- Check whether your receiving wallet requires a destination tag and that you entered it on the order form.
- Leave enough XRP reserve if your wallet needs a minimum balance to activate the account.
- Use the payout tx hash on an XRP Ledger explorer if your wallet balance has not updated.

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