Three steps on ToSwap
-
Set the LTC amount and paste the Dai address that should collect payout on ERC-20 on Ethereum.
-
Tap Exchange to lock the live ToSwap quote and reveal this order’s deposit details.
-
Send exactly that LTC amount to the deposit. After Litecoin mainnet confirms, DAI is pushed to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Litecoin typically needs a few confirmations before the swap continues.
- Blocks target 2.5 minutes — still subject to mempool delays.
- Use a standard Litecoin mainnet address (Legacy, SegWit, or M-address formats supported on most routes).
- If DAI is late, refresh your wallet and re-check the order status. When a payout hash is already listed, email or SimpleX support with your Exchange ID — ToSwap has no login that can reopen expired pages.
Litecoin — Bitcoin's first fork
Litecoin (LTC) is a 2011 Bitcoin fork created by Charlie Lee, with early input from other developers including a former Google engineer. It keeps peer-to-peer transfers but targets faster blocks and lower everyday fees. Traders often call it "digital silver."
The speed and fees of the Litecoin blockchain
When you fund a swap with LTC, ~2.5-minute blocks help deposits confirm sooner than on many busier chains.
Typical fees stay low — about 0.0004 LTC (~$0.02 at current prices). Leave a little extra for the miner fee so the full amount you intend to send reaches the deposit address.
Litecoin address formats
If a send fails, your wallet may be using an unsupported address type for this route.
Contact support with your order ID before retrying on a different format.
Dai on Ethereum
Credit DAI only on ERC-20 on Ethereum. A transfer on any other chain will not show up on this order.
When DAI arrives
Set your wallet to ERC-20 on Ethereum.
If the order already lists a payout tx, wait a few minutes and resync before contacting support.
Deposit checklist
Chain mismatches and bad addresses are the usual failure modes — skim these notes before you fund the deposit.
Asset hubs
More anonymous no-KYC lanes and chain notes for each coin.
FAQ for this route
Is KYC or a ToSwap account required for LTC → DAI?
No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Litecoin to Dai order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.
How fast does DAI usually arrive?
Many payouts leave within minutes after the Litecoin mainnet deposit confirms. Congestion on Litecoin mainnet or ERC-20 on Ethereum can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.
Does ToSwap hold my LTC or DAI?
No hosted balance. You broadcast LTC from a wallet you control; DAI is paid only to the address you paste. Nothing sits under a ToSwap username.
What if I send LTC on the wrong network?
Match Litecoin mainnet exactly as printed on the order badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — double-check before you broadcast.
