How the swap works
-
Type the ETH amount and paste your Litecoin payout address on Litecoin mainnet.
-
Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.
-
Broadcast ETH to that deposit. After the required confirmations, LTC is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- 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.
- If LTC has not appeared yet, wait a few minutes and refresh the wallet. When the order already shows a payout tx, contact support with your order ID.
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
Does ETH to LTC require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Ethereum (Base) to Litecoin.
How long until LTC arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Base mainnet deposit confirmations and Litecoin mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold ETH or LTC for me?
No. You send ETH from a wallet you control and LTC is paid to the address you provide — PeakSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send ETH on the wrong chain?
Use Base mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited — read the swap safety notes first.
