Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ADA to send and enter your Litecoin address on Litecoin mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer ADA to the address on your order — after confirmations, LTC is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Cardano deposits need several confirmations before the swap proceeds.
- Block times are around 20 seconds but can vary with network load.
- Use a Shelley-era Cardano address — legacy Byron formats may not be supported on all routes.
- LTC not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Cardano — research-driven layer-1
ADA is the native token of Cardano — a proof-of-stake network focused on security and formal verification.
Sending ADA
Send native ADA on Cardano mainnet from a compatible wallet.
Leave enough ADA for the transaction fee in addition to your swap amount.
Litecoin — Bitcoin's first fork
Litecoin (LTC) is a 2011 Bitcoin fork created by Charlie Lee, with early input from other developers including a former Google engineer. It keeps peer-to-peer transfers but targets faster blocks and lower everyday fees. Traders often call it "digital silver."
When will LTC arrive?
Usually within several blocks after your deposit confirms — often under 15 minutes in normal conditions.
LTC payout troubleshooting
- Verify your Litecoin address format matches what your wallet expects (Legacy, SegWit, or M-address).
- Check a Litecoin explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Resync your wallet if the transaction is confirmed on-chain but balance is unchanged.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap ADA to LTC?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Cardano to Litecoin swaps.
How long does ADA to LTC take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Cardano mainnet and Litecoin mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is ADA to LTC non-custodial?
Yes. You send ADA from your wallet and receive LTC directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send ADA on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Cardano mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
