Exchange in 3 steps
-

What do you need to know?
- Deposits on Stacks mainnet follow that chain's confirmation times.
- Network congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Send only STX on Stacks 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.
Stacks
Always match STX on Stacks mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports Stacks 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.
