Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ETH 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 ETH to the address on your order — after confirmations, LTC is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Base confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send ETH on Base mainnet only — not Ethereum L1, Optimism, or Arbitrum unless your order says otherwise.
- Use a Base-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Base for gas on top of the swap amount.
- 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.
ETH on Base — Coinbase L2
Native ETH on Base — Ethereum's value on Coinbase's L2 with low fees, fast finality, and growing on-chain activity.
ETH on Base mainnet
Use a Base wallet for deposits. Ethereum mainnet ETH is a different network — wrong-chain sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH on Base for gas in addition to the amount you swap.
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 ETH to LTC?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Ethereum (Base) to Litecoin swaps.
How long does ETH to LTC take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Base mainnet and Litecoin mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is ETH to LTC non-custodial?
Yes. You send ETH from your wallet and receive LTC directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send ETH on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Base mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
