Swapping Litecoin for Cardano lets you move value from one of the oldest proof-of-work networks into a proof-of-stake ecosystem, a route traders take when repositioning between these two distinct blockchains. ADA saw a notable single-day price shift recently, so reviewing the quoted rate before confirming is worthwhile. Zest Exchange requires no signup and shows you the rate before you commit.
ADA recorded a significant price movement in the past 24 hours and LTC also moved lower, so locking in a fixed rate at the time of confirmation can help protect the amount of ADA you receive while your LTC deposit is in transit. You can still choose fixed or floating in the swap form before creating the order.
Open the exchange widget and select LTC as the send currency and ADA as the receive currency. Choose the correct network for each — native Litecoin or BNB Smart Chain for LTC, and native Cardano or BNB Smart Chain for ADA.
Enter the amount of LTC you want to exchange. The widget shows the live rate and minimum amount for this pair before you proceed.
Paste your ADA wallet address into the recipient field. Confirm the address format matches the network you selected — a native Cardano address starts with 'addr1'. No memo or tag is needed for native ADA, but verify this with your receiving wallet.
Click Exchange and send your LTC to the deposit address shown. Your ADA will be sent to the address you provided once the transaction is confirmed on-chain.
Before confirming this swap, verify which network you are using on both sides. LTC can be sent via the native Litecoin network or as a BEP-20 token on BNB Smart Chain, and ADA can be received on the native Cardano network or as a BEP-20 token on BNB Smart Chain — mixing these up can result in lost funds. Make sure the ADA receive address you enter matches the network you select; a native Cardano address (starting with 'addr1') is not the same as a BEP-20 address. Cardano does not use memos or destination tags, so no extra field is required when receiving on the native ADA network, but confirm this is still the case for the specific wallet you use. Confirmation speed on both chains depends on network conditions at the time of the swap, so allow adequate time before treating a transaction as delayed.

Yes, Zest supports both the native ADA network and BNB Smart Chain for the receive side. Select your preferred network in the widget before confirming, and make sure the wallet address you enter is compatible with that network. Sending ADA-BEP20 to a native Cardano address, or vice versa, can result in permanent loss of funds.
If you choose a floating rate, the final ADA amount is calculated at the moment your LTC deposit is confirmed on-chain, which may differ from the estimate if prices move during that window. Selecting a fixed rate locks in the quoted amount regardless of price movement during processing, which can be useful given the recent volatility in ADA.
The exchange widget displays the minimum LTC amount required for this specific pair before you confirm. Minimums can vary depending on the network selected and current market conditions, so always check the widget for the up-to-date figure.

The total time depends on how quickly your LTC deposit receives confirmations on its network, followed by exchange processing, and then confirmation of the ADA payout on its destination network. Each of these stages is subject to network conditions and cannot be predicted exactly. Allowing some time before treating the swap as delayed is advisable.
