LTC to ETH Converter: Swap Litecoin to Ethereum With No KYC

Litecoin is good at one job: moving value cheaply. It has no general smart contracts, so anything on Ethereum, from a token transfer to a lending app or an NFT, is out of reach until you hold ETH. Every action there is paid for in Ether, which makes LTC to ETH the first step for a Litecoin holder who wants to use Ethereum.

The payout is native ETH on Ethereum mainnet, not a wrapped or bridged token. It can pay gas the moment it lands, which also makes this pair a tidy way to fund a brand-new MetaMask or Rabby wallet from scratch. If what you actually want is a stablecoin, pick it directly, for example LTC to USDT ERC20, instead of swapping to ETH and paying gas for a second trade.

The LTC to ETH rate comes from aggregated liquidity from leading crypto markets and floats until the Litecoin deposit confirms.

Litecoin adds a block about every 2.5 minutes, and the deposit is credited after roughly 10 minutes of confirmations. That is the slow part of this swap. Once that is done, most LTC to ETH swaps finish within minutes, because Ethereum confirms the payout quickly.

Your wallet pays the Litecoin network fee in LTC. It is priced by the size of the transaction, not by the amount, and is usually small. A wallet that holds many tiny inputs builds a bigger transaction, so the fee can be higher there; consolidating small amounts beforehand helps.

Send from a regular Litecoin balance rather than from MWEB. An MWEB balance has no ordinary address to give for refunds, so peg out to a normal address in Litecoin Core or Cake Wallet first if your coins are there. You can watch the deposit on Blockchair.

The payout field takes an Ethereum address: 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Copy it from MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger rather than typing it. Ethereum addresses carry a checksum in their mix of capital and small letters, and most wallets will warn you if a character was changed, but pasting avoids the problem entirely.

The same 0x address exists on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum and BNB Smart Chain. This pair pays on Ethereum mainnet, so if your wallet is set to another network you will not see the balance. Switch the network to Ethereum, or check the address on Etherscan. If you want ETH on one of those other networks, pick that entry in the exchange box instead.

You do not need any ETH already in the wallet. Receiving native ETH is free, and the payout becomes your gas balance.

People searching how to move LTC to ETH often expect a direct transfer, but none exists: the two coins live on separate blockchains. The swap replaces that missing link. Your Litecoin goes to the deposit address on Litecoin, and separate, native Ether is sent to you on Ethereum. No bridge is involved, and there is nothing to unwrap afterwards.

If a swap cannot be completed, your LTC is refunded to the Litecoin sender address you entered. Make it an address from your own wallet, such as Nexus Wallet, Exodus or a Ledger. An exchange withdrawal comes from a shared wallet, and LTC returned to it may never show up in your account.

The status page for your swap ID shows where the swap stands. If Blockchair shows the deposit with its confirmations but the status page has not moved for a long time, email support@ghostswap.io with the swap ID and the Litecoin transaction ID. Do not send a second deposit while the first is still being looked at, because it starts a separate swap that also has to be sorted out.
