How the swap works
-
Type the LTC amount and paste your Ripple payout address on XRP Ledger.
-
Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.
-
Broadcast LTC to that deposit. After the required confirmations, XRP 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 XRP 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.
XRP β fast ledger settlements
XRP moves quickly on the XRP Ledger β designed for rapid settlement with minimal transaction fees.
XRP payout delays
If XRP is missing, verify destination tag requirements and that your wallet supports the XRP Ledger mainnet.
When will XRP arrive?
XRP Ledger settlements are among the fastest in crypto β often seconds after your deposit confirms.
- Check whether your receiving wallet requires a destination tag and that you entered it on the order form.
- Leave enough XRP reserve if your wallet needs a minimum balance to activate the account.
- Use the payout tx hash on an XRP Ledger explorer if your wallet balance has not updated.

Frequently asked questions
Does LTC to XRP require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Litecoin to Ripple.
How long until XRP arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Litecoin mainnet deposit confirmations and XRP Ledger payout time set the wait.
Do you hold LTC or XRP for me?
No. You send LTC from a wallet you control and XRP 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.
