The price is a reference figure from our own rate feed, not a quote — every swap is re-priced across our liquidity partners at the moment you confirm, and the best receive amount wins. How that comparison works is on the methodology page.
About Litecoin
Litecoin launched in 2011 as a near-copy of Bitcoin with two deliberate changes: blocks every two and a half minutes instead of ten, and a different mining algorithm. Fourteen years later it is still running, still liquid, and still one of the cheapest chains to move value across.
Those properties make LTC a common utility leg rather than a destination. When the goal is to get value from one place to another quickly without paying Bitcoin-level fees, a Litecoin hop is often the cheapest way to do it.
Like Bitcoin, the Litecoin ledger is fully transparent. Fast and cheap does not mean private.
Sending and receiving LTC
- Set a refund address. It is the only route funds have back to you if a swap cannot complete — a deposit below the minimum, or one arriving after the quote window closed. See refund handling.
- Nothing is held for you. Deposits are forwarded, not stored, and the data kept is the amount and the two addresses — purged once the swap finalizes. The full picture is on the privacy page.
LTC exchange pairs
Any pair is quotable, not just these — every supported coin can be swapped against every other, and the popular routes each have a page of their own.
LTC — common questions
How do I swap LTC without an account?
Pick the pair, enter an amount, and give a destination address and a refund address. There is no registration, no email and no identity check — you send the deposit from your own wallet and the funds are forwarded on. Nothing is held on your behalf at any point.
When is my LTC sent out?
As soon as the deposit has the confirmations the network requires — the exchange runs automatically, with no manual approval step and no queue on our side. You can follow every stage on the tracking page a swap gets the moment it is created.
Is there a minimum LTC amount?
Yes, and it moves with network conditions, so the widget shows the live figure for whichever pair you pick before you confirm. Minimums exist to keep on-chain costs a small fraction of the swap rather than swallowing it. There is no maximum.
