ZEC → LTC: swap details at ROVEN exchange
To switch from Zcash 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.
Zcash (ZEC) is a cryptocurrency with optional privacy based on zero-knowledge proofs. Litecoin (LTC) is one of the oldest Bitcoin forks, with blocks four times faster and low fees.
Why swap ZEC 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 ZEC | You receive LTC | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Zcash | Litecoin |
| Address | “t1…” or “t3…” | “ltc1…”, “L…” or “M…” |
| Network speed | a block comes roughly every 75 seconds | a block comes roughly every 2.5 minutes |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Send ZEC from a transparent address, or move it out of the shielded pool in advance.
- 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 Zcash, a block comes roughly every 75 seconds; on Litecoin, a block comes roughly every 2.5 minutes. The whole ZEC to LTC swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 ZEC = 23.472077 LTC and the minimum amount is 0.015385 ZEC. Create an order in the form above, and ROVEN exchange will send swap updates by email or Telegram.
