Three steps on ToSwap
-
Set the LTC amount and paste the Ethereum (Base) address that should collect payout on Base 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, ETH 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 ETH 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.
ETH on Base — Coinbase L2
Native ETH on Base — Ethereum's value on Coinbase's L2 with low fees, fast finality, and growing on-chain activity.
Base ETH not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Base mainnet and fully synced — not Ethereum L1.
Base ETH payout tips
- Payouts go to Base — verify your wallet network is Base (chain ID 8453).
- Check Basescan with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Bridging to Ethereum L1 is a separate step after you receive ETH on Base.
Deposit checklist
Chain mismatches and bad addresses are the usual failure modes — skim these notes before you fund the deposit.

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