Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much DOT 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 DOT to the address on your order — after confirmations, LTC is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Deposits on Polkadot mainnet follow that chain's confirmation times.
- Network congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Send only DOT on Polkadot mainnet to the address on your order page.
- 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.
Polkadot
Always match DOT on Polkadot mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports Polkadot mainnet.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your wallet.
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 DOT to LTC?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Polkadot to Litecoin swaps.
How long does DOT to LTC take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Polkadot mainnet and Litecoin mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is DOT to LTC non-custodial?
Yes. You send DOT from your wallet and receive LTC directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send DOT on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Polkadot mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
