Litecoin to Zcash

Looking for ZEC on Zcash mainnet? Keep custody of both ends: quote on ToSwap, push Litecoin from your wallet, collect Zcash automatically once the deposit depth clears. Private by design — no account to open.

    Three steps on ToSwap

    1. Set the LTC amount and paste the Zcash address that should collect payout on Zcash mainnet.

    2. Tap Exchange to lock the live ToSwap quote and reveal this order’s deposit details.

    3. Send exactly that LTC amount to the deposit. After Litecoin mainnet confirms, ZEC 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 ZEC 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.

    Zcash on ToSwap — pick t-addr or shielded

    ZEC lets you choose transparent or shielded receives. ToSwap prints the format on the order — mixing them is the usual way a Zcash deposit fails to credit.

    ZEC receipt troubleshooting

    Confirm address type matches your wallet. Rescan the blockchain in your Zcash client if needed.

    Transparent vs shielded payouts

    Zcash supports both transparent (t-) and shielded (z-) addresses — they are not interchangeable.

    • Use the address type your wallet actually supports before placing the order.
    • Shielded payouts may take longer to appear depending on wallet software.
    • If the order shows a sent tx but balance is zero, rescan the chain in your Zcash client first.

    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 → ZEC?

    No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Litecoin to Zcash order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.

    How fast does ZEC usually arrive?

    Many payouts leave within minutes after the Litecoin mainnet deposit confirms. Congestion on Litecoin mainnet or Zcash mainnet can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.

    Does ToSwap hold my LTC or ZEC?

    No hosted balance. You broadcast LTC from a wallet you control; ZEC 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.
