Swapping Solana for Litecoin: what you need to know
To switch from Solana 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.
Solana (SOL) is a high-speed blockchain with sub-cent fees, popular in DeFi and NFTs. Litecoin (LTC) is one of the oldest Bitcoin forks, with blocks four times faster and low fees.
Why swap SOL 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 SOL | You receive LTC | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Solana | Litecoin |
| Address | 32–44 base58 characters | “ltc1…”, “L…” or “M…” |
| Network speed | a transfer confirms in a few seconds | a block comes roughly every 2.5 minutes |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Send SOL on Solana mainnet, not wrapped SOL on other blockchains.
- 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 Solana, a transfer confirms in a few seconds; on Litecoin, a block comes roughly every 2.5 minutes. The whole SOL to LTC swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 SOL = 1.813532 LTC and the minimum amount is 0.2 SOL. Create an order in the form above, and ROVEN exchange will send swap updates by email or Telegram.
