How do I exchange LTC to ZEC?
Pick LTC and ZEC
Pick LTC in “You send” and ZEC in “You get”, then enter the amount. The box shows how much ZEC you get after all fees, and the minimum for this pair.
Paste your Zcash address
Paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC: it starts with t1 or t3 for a transparent address. Wallets that work: Zodl (formerly Zashi), Zkool or Zingo. Then enter the Litecoin address you send LTC from; a refund, if ever needed, goes there.
Send LTC on Litecoin
Send exactly the amount shown from your own Litecoin wallet to the one-time deposit address, on the Litecoin network.
Receive ZEC
Your ZEC is usually paid out 15–35 minutes after you send your LTC, and Zcash then confirms it in about 10–20 minutes. Follow each step on the status page with your swap ID.
Litecoin to Zcash: from a public chain to coins you can shield
LTC to ZEC suits Litecoin holders who want part of their balance in a coin with a shielded pool. Like Bitcoin, a regular Litecoin transfer shows the addresses and the amount on public explorers such as Blockchair. On Zcash, transfers between shielded addresses hide the sender, the receiver and the amount. No account is involved, and the ZEC goes to the Zcash address you type in.
Litecoin adds a block about every 2.5 minutes, and the deposit is usually credited after a few confirmations, roughly 10 to 15 minutes. That wait is most of the swap. Zcash then adds blocks about every 75 seconds, and most LTC to ZEC swaps finish in 15 to 35 minutes. Until you shield it, the ZEC at your transparent address is as easy to look up as your Litecoin was.
Tips for this swap
- For the payout, paste a transparent Zcash address (t1 or t3). Zodl (formerly Zashi), Zkool and Zingo can show one as well as the shielded u1 address. Use the transparent one here.
- Send native LTC on the Litecoin network from a wallet you control, and enter its ltc1, L or M address as the refund address. Litecoin BSC is a different coin in the list.
- Once the ZEC has confirmed, use your wallet's Shield option or send it to your own u1 address. Before that, anyone who knows the t-address can see the balance.
Can I swap LTC to ZEC without KYC?
Yes. An LTC to ZEC swap on GhostSwap needs no account, email or ID. You enter a t1 or t3 payout address and an ltc1, L or M refund address, see the floating rate, and send the LTC.
How long does LTC to ZEC take?
Usually 15 to 35 minutes. Most of that is waiting for the Litecoin deposit to confirm. After it is credited, the ZEC is sent and confirms in Zcash's 75-second blocks.
Is Zcash legal?
No country has banned owning Zcash. Some countries stop local exchanges from listing privacy coins, and from 10 July 2027 EU crypto providers can't keep accounts that use them. Country by country: Will Zcash be banned?
Common mistakes with LTC to ZEC
- Pasting a unified (u1...) address instead of a transparent t1 or t3 address.
- Reusing an old t-address that already links to other activity.
- Sending from an exchange account, so the sender address isn't yours and a refund can't reach you.
