BCH → LTC: swap details at ROVEN exchange
To switch from Bitcoin Cash to Litecoin you don’t need to sell for dollars first and then buy again. ROVEN exchange does it in one step: one order, one rate, one payout.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a 2017 fork of Bitcoin with bigger blocks and fees of a fraction of a cent. Litecoin (LTC) is one of the oldest Bitcoin forks, with blocks four times faster and low fees.
Why swap BCH for LTC
Coins serve different purposes, and sometimes holding LTC makes more sense — for faster transfers, staking or the Litecoin ecosystem. Litecoin was built for fast, cheap transfers, which makes it handy for payments.
Networks and addresses
| You send BCH | You receive LTC | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Bitcoin Cash | Litecoin |
| Address | “q…” or “bitcoincash:q…” | “ltc1…”, “L…” or “M…” |
| Network speed | a block comes roughly every 10 minutes | a block comes roughly every 2.5 minutes |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Don’t send BCH from a Bitcoin wallet or vice versa — they’re different networks.
- A Litecoin address starts with “ltc1”, “L” or “M”; it’s best to avoid legacy “3…” addresses.
- Send the exact amount from the order and do it within 30 minutes, while the locked rate is valid.
How long the swap takes
Swap speed depends on both networks. On Bitcoin Cash, a block comes roughly every 10 minutes; on Litecoin, a block comes roughly every 2.5 minutes. The whole BCH to LTC swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 BCH = 5.51469 LTC and the minimum amount is 0.066667 BCH. Create an order in the form above, and ROVEN exchange will send swap updates by email or Telegram.
