ETH → LTC: swap details at ROVEN exchange
Exchanging ETH for LTC is useful when you rebalance a portfolio or want to move from one network to another without buying stablecoins in between. At ROVEN exchange the coins are swapped directly, and the rate is locked when you create the order.
Ethereum (ETH) is the leading platform for smart contracts, DeFi and ERC20 tokens. Litecoin (LTC) is one of the oldest Bitcoin forks, with blocks four times faster and low fees.
Why swap ETH for LTC
Shifting between ETH and LTC is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. Litecoin was built for fast, cheap transfers, which makes it handy for payments.
Networks and addresses
| You send ETH | You receive LTC | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Ethereum (ERC20) | Litecoin |
| Address | “0x” + 40 characters | “ltc1…”, “L…” or “M…” |
| Network speed | a block comes every 12 seconds | a block comes roughly every 2.5 minutes |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Send ETH on Ethereum mainnet, not on Arbitrum, Base or other layer-2 networks.
- A Litecoin address starts with “ltc1”, “L” or “M”; it’s best to avoid legacy “3…” addresses.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send ETH within that time and you’ll receive exactly the amount shown in the order.
How long the swap takes
Swap speed depends on both networks. On Ethereum (ERC20), a block comes every 12 seconds; on Litecoin, a block comes roughly every 2.5 minutes. The whole ETH to LTC swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
Right now ROVEN exchange swaps ETH for LTC at 1 ETH = 42.494341 LTC, with a minimum of 0.02 ETH. Fill in the form above: no sign-up is needed, and you can track the order status online.
