Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much LTC to send and enter your Dogecoin address on Dogecoin mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer LTC to the address on your order — after confirmations, DOGE is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Litecoin typically needs a few confirmations before the swap continues.
- Blocks target 2.5 minutes — still subject to mempool delays.
- Use a standard Litecoin mainnet address (Legacy, SegWit, or M-address formats supported on most routes).
- DOGE not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
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."
The speed and fees of the Litecoin blockchain
When you fund a swap with LTC, ~2.5-minute blocks help deposits confirm sooner than on many busier chains.
Typical fees stay low — about 0.0004 LTC (~$0.02 at current prices). Leave a little extra for the miner fee so the full amount you intend to send reaches the deposit address.
Litecoin address formats
If a send fails, your wallet may be using an unsupported address type for this route.
Contact support with your order ID before retrying on a different format.
Dogecoin — fast, low-fee payments
DOGE started as a meme coin but remains widely used for tips and transfers — quick blocks and low fees on its own mainnet.
DOGE payout not showing?
Refresh your wallet and verify the receive address matches your order exactly.
When will DOGE arrive?
Dogecoin blocks target about one minute — payouts usually follow within several confirmations.
- Use a Dogecoin mainnet wallet, not a wrapped or exchange-only address on another chain.
- Check the payout tx on a Dogecoin explorer using the hash from your order page.
- Low network congestion means DOGE payouts are often faster than Bitcoin routes.

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