An LTC to XMR swap converts Litecoin into Monero directly, one chain to the other, without routing through an exchange account. On GhostSwap this happens with no account, no email, and no identity verification — you supply a Monero receiving address, send your Litecoin, and the Monero lands in your wallet. Funds pass through non-custodially and are never held by GhostSwap.
TL;DR: Swapping LTC to XMR on GhostSwap needs no account, no email, and no KYC. It is non-custodial and floating-rate, with a typical completion time of about 8 minutes.
An LTC to XMR swap is a cross-chain conversion that moves value from the Litecoin network to the Monero network. Unlike a trade on a centralised exchange, it does not require you to open an account, deposit into a custodial balance, or place an order on an order book.
How an LTC to XMR swap works
A GhostSwap LTC to XMR swap is a non-custodial pass-through: your Litecoin goes to a one-time deposit address, gets converted, and the resulting Monero is sent to the receiving address you provided. GhostSwap never holds your funds. There is no account, no email, and no identity verification to start.
The rate is floating. That means the exact amount of XMR you receive is set from floating-rate pricing drawn from aggregated liquidity across leading crypto markets at the moment your Litecoin deposit is detected on-chain — not at the moment you click. For most swaps the movement is small, but it exists, and there is no fixed-rate option that locks the price before your funds arrive.
GhostSwap supports 1,600+ pairs across roughly 200 assets, so LTC to XMR is a standard, well-supported route.
Swap LTC to XMR in 5 steps
- Pick the pair — select Litecoin (LTC) as the coin you send and Monero (XMR) as the coin you receive on the LTC to XMR swap page.
- Enter your Monero address — paste the XMR receiving address where you want the Monero delivered. Check it character by character; Monero addresses are long and an error means funds cannot be recovered.
- Add a refund address (recommended) — supply an LTC refund address so your Litecoin can be returned automatically if the swap cannot complete.
- Send your Litecoin — send the quoted LTC amount to the one-time deposit address shown. GhostSwap detects the deposit on-chain and locks the floating rate.
- Receive XMR — the converted Monero is sent to your receiving address. Typical completion is about 8 minutes; the 95th-percentile case is around 30 minutes, depending on network congestion.

When an LTC to XMR swap makes sense
Use this route when you hold Litecoin and want Monero without opening an account or verifying your identity. Because the swap is non-custodial, you keep control of your keys the whole way through — you only ever hand over the exact LTC you are converting, to a one-time deposit address.

FAQ
Q: Do I need an account to swap LTC to XMR?
A: No. GhostSwap needs no account, no email, and no identity verification to swap. You supply a Monero receiving address and, ideally, an LTC refund address. Funds pass through non-custodially and are never held by GhostSwap.
Q: How long does an LTC to XMR swap take?
A: Completion time is typically about 8 minutes. In slower cases — heavy network congestion, for example — it can run to around 30 minutes. Litecoin confirmation speed and the conversion step both factor in.
Q: Is the LTC to XMR rate fixed or floating?
A: It is floating. The XMR amount you receive is set from floating-rate pricing drawn from aggregated liquidity at the moment your Litecoin deposit is detected on-chain, not when you click. There is no fixed-rate option that locks the price beforehand.
Q: What do I need before I start?
A: A Monero (XMR) receiving address and the Litecoin you want to swap. A Litecoin refund address is optional but recommended so your LTC can be returned automatically if the swap cannot complete.
