Exchange ETC to LTC

Not necessarily—you can send ETC from the native ETC network and receive LTC on BNB Smart Chain, or vice versa. The key is to match the send network to your ETC wallet and the receive network to your LTC wallet. Mismatched networks will result in failed or lost transactions, so always verify both sides before confirming.

If you send ETC from a network you didn't select during the swap, the exchange will not receive your funds and they may be lost. Double-check that your ETC wallet is on the network you chose (native ETC or BNB Smart Chain) before you initiate the transfer. Once you confirm your sending wallet matches the selected network, the swap can proceed.

Traders often move between ETC and LTC to diversify across different proof-of-work blockchains or to access liquidity on different exchanges. Both are established layer-1 assets with separate mining and network communities, so swapping between them is common for portfolio rebalancing or moving funds to platforms that support one asset more readily than the other.

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 ETC 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 ETC 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 ETC from your own wallet and receive LTC at an address you control, with the rate shown before you confirm.
