How to Swap Bitcoin to Litecoin
Swapping Bitcoin for Litecoin is simple, but details matter. BTC and LTC use separate networks, so a wrong address or rushed transfer can cost real money. Decide how much BTC to exchange, then compare the quoted LTC amount and rate type before sending. I prefer a clear fixed quote for time-sensitive swaps. Floating quotes suit people who accept price movement. Keep enough BTC for the network fee, use a Litecoin address from a wallet you control, and wait for Bitcoin confirmations. Once processed, check the Litecoin transaction in your wallet. If you're unsure, send a small amount first.

How to Swap BITCOIN to LITECOIN
- Choose BTC as the currency you are sending and LTC as the currency you want to receive.
- Enter the amount of Bitcoin to swap and review the quoted Litecoin amount.
- Paste a Litecoin receiving address from your own wallet and check every character.
- Review the rate type, estimated completion time, and final amounts before confirming.
- Send the exact BTC amount to the provided Bitcoin deposit address, then wait for confirmations and delivery.
Safety Tips
- Never send Bitcoin to a Litecoin address or Litecoin to a Bitcoin address. The networks are different.
- Compare the final LTC amount you will receive, not just the headline exchange rate.
- For a larger BTC to LTC swap, test the process with a small amount first.
- Use a fresh address copied directly from your Litecoin wallet, and verify the first and last characters before sending.

Other Pairs You Can Swap
Do I need to use the Bitcoin or Litecoin network for this swap?
You send BTC through the Bitcoin network and receive LTC through the Litecoin network. A Litecoin address is only for receiving LTC, while the swap deposit address is for BTC.
Is a fixed rate better for swapping BTC to LTC?
A fixed rate can be preferable if you need certainty about the LTC amount you will receive. A floating rate may change while the Bitcoin transaction waits for confirmations.
Why is my BTC to LTC swap waiting after I sent Bitcoin?
Bitcoin transactions usually need network confirmations before Litecoin can be released. Delays can happen if the Bitcoin network is busy or the transaction fee was too low.
