How the swap works
-
Type the ZEC 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 ZEC to that deposit. After the required confirmations, LTC is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Zcash confirmations follow mainnet block times β usually a few minutes.
- Transparent (t-) and shielded (z-) addresses are not interchangeable β use the type your order specifies.
- Shielded payouts may take longer to appear depending on wallet support.
- 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.
Zcash β shielded privacy is optional
ZEC supports transparent and shielded addresses β use the receive format your wallet actually supports.
Transparent vs shielded ZEC
Sending to the wrong address type is a common failure mode.
If unsure, ask support which format your order uses before broadcasting.
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."
When will LTC arrive?
Usually within several blocks after your deposit confirms β 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 ZEC to LTC require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Zcash to Litecoin.
How long until LTC arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Zcash mainnet deposit confirmations and Litecoin mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold ZEC or LTC for me?
No. You send ZEC from a wallet you control and LTC is paid to the address you provide β PeakSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send ZEC on the wrong chain?
Use Zcash mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited β read the swap safety notes first.
