Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much XLM 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 XLM to the address on your order — after confirmations, LTC is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Stellar confirmations are typically very fast — often within seconds.
- A minimum XLM balance may be required to activate or maintain your Stellar account.
- Use a Stellar mainnet address (starts with G…). Include a memo if your receive wallet or exchange requires one.
- 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.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
Sending XLM on Stellar
Send native XLM on Stellar mainnet from a compatible wallet.
If your payout destination requires a memo, enter it exactly on your order form — missing memos are a common support issue.
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 XLM to LTC?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Stellar to Litecoin swaps.
How long does XLM to LTC take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Stellar mainnet and Litecoin mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is XLM to LTC non-custodial?
Yes. You send XLM from your wallet and receive LTC directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send XLM on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Stellar mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
