How long does an XMR to LTC swap take?

Most swaps complete within roughly 10 to 60 minutes. The main variables are Monero's confirmation time and settlement on Litecoin; network congestion on either side can extend the total swap time.

Do I need an account to swap XMR to LTC?

No. Standard XMR to LTC swaps use an account-free flow with minimal data collection. Verification may be required only in limited risk cases.

Is the XMR to LTC swap non-custodial?

Funds are routed only to fulfil your order, and LTC is delivered directly to the Litecoin address you control. MoneroEx does not hold your balance beyond the duration of the swap.

Will my LTC be private after the swap?

No. Once funds leave Monero, the LTC transaction is recorded on the public Litecoin ledger and is visible to anyone. Only the Monero side benefits from XMR's protocol-level privacy.

Is there a minimum amount for XMR to LTC?

Yes. A minimum applies so the transaction can cover network fees on both the Monero and Litecoin networks. The current minimum is shown in the swap interface when you select the XMR to LTC pair.

Swap Monero to Litecoin

Convert XMR to LTC and receive Litecoin in your own wallet. Account-free standard flow, non-custodial, verification may be required in limited risk cases.

How This Pair Works

Swapping Monero to Litecoin sends native XMR from your wallet and delivers LTC on the Litecoin network. Provide your LTC destination address, deposit Monero, and MoneroEx completes the exchange after the required confirmations — account-free for the standard flow.

Why Swap Monero to Litecoin?

Moving Monero into Litecoin lets you reach Litecoin liquidity, trading pairs, or spending options that XMR alone may not cover. The swap is delivered directly to your LTC wallet and stays account-free for standard amounts.

Privacy Notes

Your incoming Monero benefits from XMR's protocol-level privacy, but the outgoing LTC is recorded on the public Litecoin network and is visible to anyone analysing that chain. MoneroEx cannot control Litecoin transparency. Only the data necessary to process the swap is collected, and verification may be required in limited risk cases.

Step-by-Step Process

1
Select XMR to LTC and enter the amount
Choose Monero as the source currency and Litecoin as the destination, then enter how much XMR you want to swap. The interface shows the estimated LTC you will receive at the current rate.
2
Enter your Litecoin destination address
Paste your LTC wallet address into the destination field. A Litecoin address is starts with L, M, or ltc1; verify the full string carefully, as transactions cannot be reversed once sent.
3
Send XMR to the deposit address
After you confirm the details, you receive a Monero deposit address. Send the exact XMR amount shown from your own wallet; sending a different amount may affect the rate or require review.
4
Receive LTC in your wallet
Once your Monero deposit reaches about 10 confirmations, MoneroEx executes the swap and sends LTC to your Litecoin address. Track progress with your unique swap ID.
