    How the swap works

    1. Type the LTC amount and paste your Cardano payout address on Cardano mainnet.

    2. Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.

    3. Broadcast LTC to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ADA is sent to your wallet.

    Check these before you send

    • Litecoin typically needs a few confirmations before the swap continues.
    • Blocks target 2.5 minutes β€” still subject to mempool delays.
    • Use a standard Litecoin mainnet address (Legacy, SegWit, or M-address formats supported on most routes).
    • If ADA 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.

    Litecoin β€” 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 β€” 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.

    You receive

    Cardano β€” research-driven layer-1

    ADA is the native token of Cardano β€” a proof-of-stake network focused on security and formal verification.

    ADA payout delays

    Resync your Cardano wallet if the order shows a sent transaction but balance is unchanged.

    When will ADA arrive?

    Cardano block times are around 20 seconds β€” payouts typically follow within several blocks.

    • Use a Shelley-era Cardano address compatible with your wallet.
    • Check a Cardano explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
    • Allow a few extra minutes if your wallet is still syncing the latest epoch.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does LTC to ADA require KYC or an account?

    No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Litecoin to Cardano.

    How long until ADA arrives?

    Many orders finish in a few minutes. Litecoin mainnet deposit confirmations and Cardano mainnet payout time set the wait.

    Do you hold LTC or ADA for me?

    No. You send LTC from a wallet you control and ADA is paid to the address you provide β€” PeakSwap does not keep a user wallet.

    What if I send LTC on the wrong chain?

    Use Litecoin mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited β€” read the swap safety notes first.
