How to convert ETH to LTC (step‑by‑step)
- Open the Swapcherry widget and select
ETH → LTC. - Paste your LTC address and choose a quote type (fixed or floating).
- Review the live quote: rate, service fee, network fees, expected LTC.
- Confirm to get a one‑time ETH deposit address.
- Send the exact ETH amount within the quote window.
- After confirmations, receive LTC automatically to your wallet.
Litecoin address formats (compatibility overview)
- Bech32 (
ltc1…) is the modern, fee‑efficient format. - P2SH (
M…or sometimes3…) offers broad compatibility. - Legacy (
L…) is older and may lead to higher fees; use only if required by your wallet.
Ethereum‑specific considerations (important)
- Gas (EIP‑1559): Avoid extremely low priority fees that can stall confirmation.
- Correct network: Send on Ethereum mainnet unless your quote specifies otherwise.
- Pending txs: Resolve stuck transactions with RBF before initiating new swaps.
Fees, confirmations, and timing (plain‑English)
- Fees: ETH gas varies; Litecoin network fees are typically low.
- Confirmations: LTC payout starts after required ETH confirmations.
- Timing: In normal conditions, you’ll receive LTC shortly after both legs confirm.
Quotes, slippage, and expirations
- Quotes adjust with market liquidity. Floating rates may vary slightly at execution.
- If a fixed quote expires before ETH confirms, create a fresh quote.
Fixed vs floating rate: which to use?
- Fixed: Lock a rate briefly when you need a precise LTC amount.
- Floating: Fewer timing constraints; final LTC can vary slightly with the market.
Privacy tips when going ETH → LTC
- Use a fresh LTC address for each swap.
- Avoid reusing the same ETH sender when privacy is important.
- Consider splitting very large swaps into several over time.
Paying the invoice: exact, partial, or overpayments
- Exact: Best for quick, automatic settlement.
- Under/Over: Small deltas may auto‑recalculate; large ones can trigger manual handling or refunds.
Refunds and safety
- Refunds, when applicable, return in ETH to the originating address.
- Orders are screened under our AML policy. Review our privacy and terms.
Large swaps: good practice
- Send a small test first, then proceed with larger amounts.
- Avoid major market events if predictable timing matters.
Prices
Explorer checks (what you can and can’t see)
- Ethereum explorers show your send details, gas, and confirmations.
- Litecoin explorers display the payout transaction, destination, amount, and confirmations.
Worked example (fixed vs floating)
- You hold 4.2 ETH and want LTC to a modern
ltc1…address. - Fixed quote: Lock a rate, send 4.2000 ETH, and receive the quoted LTC if confirmations are on time.
- Floating quote: Send 4.2000 ETH; final LTC depends on the market at execution.
Troubleshooting
- LTC hasn’t arrived: Verify ETH confirmations; then check the LTC payout in an explorer.
- Wrong amount sent: Contact support with the ETH tx hash; minor deltas may auto‑recalculate.
- Incompatible address: Use a supported LTC format, preferably bech32 (
ltc1…).
