XTZ → LTC: swap details at ROVEN exchange
Exchanging XTZ 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.
Tezos (XTZ) is a smart contract blockchain that upgrades through holder votes, without hard forks. Litecoin (LTC) is one of the oldest Bitcoin forks, with blocks four times faster and low fees.
Why swap XTZ for LTC
Shifting between XTZ 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 XTZ | You receive LTC | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Tezos | Litecoin |
| Address | “tz1…”–“tz4…” | “ltc1…”, “L…” or “M…” |
| Network speed | a block comes every few seconds | a block comes roughly every 2.5 minutes |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Delegated XTZ isn’t locked — you can send it at any time.
- 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 XTZ 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 Tezos, a block comes every few seconds; on Litecoin, a block comes roughly every 2.5 minutes. The whole XTZ to LTC swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
