Three steps on ToSwap
-
Set the LTC amount and paste the Ethereum Classic address that should collect payout on Ethereum Classic mainnet.
-
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, ETC 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 ETC 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.
Ethereum Classic
Credit ETC only on Ethereum Classic mainnet. A transfer on any other chain will not show up on this order.
When ETC arrives
Set your wallet to Ethereum Classic mainnet.
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.

More anonymous no-KYC lanes and chain notes for each coin.
FAQ for this route
Is KYC or a ToSwap account required for LTC → ETC?
No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Litecoin to Ethereum Classic order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.
How fast does ETC usually arrive?
Many payouts leave within minutes after the Litecoin mainnet deposit confirms. Congestion on Litecoin mainnet or Ethereum Classic mainnet can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.
Does ToSwap hold my LTC or ETC?
No hosted balance. You broadcast LTC from a wallet you control; ETC 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.
