## Litecoin to Cardano: receiving ADA you can stake and vote with

LTC to ADA moves value from Litecoin, a proof-of-work coin used mostly for payments, into Cardano, a proof-of-stake chain where holders delegate ADA to stake pools and vote on governance. Some people make this swap to delegate ADA from their own wallet, since delegated ADA never leaves it and stays spendable. The ADA is sent to your own Cardano address, with no account.

Litecoin blocks arrive about every 2.5 minutes, so the deposit is usually credited in about 10 minutes, and Cardano's 20-second blocks bring the ADA shortly after it is sent. Since the Plomin hard fork on 29 January 2025, staking rewards can only be withdrawn once the wallet also delegates its vote to a DRep, or chooses Abstain or No Confidence. Rewards still accumulate until then.

### Tips

- Copy the receive address from Eternl, Lace or VESPR and check the first and last characters after pasting. Cardano payouts need no memo or tag.
- Send LTC from your own wallet, such as Nexus Wallet, Cake Wallet or Exodus, and enter that ltc1, L or M address as the refund address.
- Use a normal Litecoin network fee. A deposit sent with a very low fee can wait several blocks before it confirms.

### Can I swap Litecoin to Cardano without KYC?

Yes. A standard swap needs no account, email or ID. Enter your addr1 address, check the floating rate and send LTC from your own wallet; the ADA is paid to that address.

### Which Cardano address should I paste?

Your wallet's normal receive address, which usually starts with addr1q and is about 100 characters long. It includes a staking part, so ADA received there can be delegated. Enterprise addresses starting with addr1v have no staking part and cannot be delegated.

## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap LTC to ADA on GhostSwap?

Most LTC to ADA swaps are paid out within 15–35 minutes: the LTC deposit needs about 10 minutes (blocks every 2.5 minutes) to confirm on Litecoin, then the ADA is sent to your wallet, and Cardano confirms the payout in a few minutes (blocks about every 20 seconds).

### How much is 1 LTC in ADA?

At 3 Oct 2026, 09:53 UTC, 1 LTC swapped to about 277.0835 ADA on GhostSwap, after the service fee. The minimum for this pair is about 0.44 LTC. The Litecoin network fee for sending the LTC is paid separately, in LTC. The rate floats with the market until your LTC deposit confirms.

### Can I send LTC straight to my ADA address?

No. LTC moves on Litecoin and ADA on Cardano, so LTC can only be sent to a Litecoin address. To swap, send the LTC to the one-time deposit address GhostSwap shows, and the ADA is paid to the Cardano address you enter, with no bridge or wrapped token.

### What wallet and address do I need to receive ADA?

Use a Cardano address from a wallet you control, such as Eternl, Lace or VESPR. The address starts with addr1. GhostSwap never holds your funds: the ADA is sent straight to the address you enter.

### What happens if my LTC to ADA exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the LTC is refunded to the Litecoin address you entered as the sender address.
