Exchange ADA to LTC

Both Cardano and Litecoin are supported on their native chains and on BNB Smart Chain. You should select the network that matches where your ADA is held and where you want to receive LTC. Mixing networks — for example, sending BNB Smart Chain ADA while expecting native LTC — can cause the swap to fail or funds to be lost.

Users often make this swap when moving from a smart-contract and staking ecosystem into an asset focused on everyday transactions and payments. Litecoin's proof-of-work model and long track record make it attractive to those who want a chain with a different security mechanism than Cardano's proof-of-stake. It's also a route used when rebalancing between two well-established, independent layer-1 networks.

Most users pick a fixed rate for this route: it locks the amount of LTC you receive when you create the order, so price movement while your ADA deposit confirms does not change the payout. A floating rate follows the market and can pay slightly more or less at execution time. You can choose either in the swap form before confirming.

Timing depends on how quickly your ADA deposit confirms on-chain, exchange processing, and LTC network conditions. Congestion on either network can extend the wait, and the order page tracks each step while your swap runs.

No signup is required for standard swaps. Zest is non-custodial — you send ADA from your own wallet and receive LTC at an address you control, with the rate shown before you confirm.
