Which network should I choose when swapping LTC to ETC on Zest?

Both Litecoin and Ethereum Classic are supported on their native networks and on BNB Smart Chain. You should select the network that matches where your LTC is held and where you want to receive ETC. Mismatching networks — for example, sending native LTC but expecting BNB Smart Chain ETC — can cause funds to be unrecoverable.

Why do traders swap Litecoin for Ethereum Classic?

Both LTC and ETC are proof-of-work assets with fixed or capped supply schedules, making this a common route for users who want to stay within the PoW ecosystem. Traders may shift between the two to rebalance holdings across different mining-backed chains without converting into proof-of-stake or fiat-backed assets.

Should I choose a fixed or floating rate for LTC to ETC?

Most users pick a fixed rate for this route: it locks the amount of ETC you receive when you create the order, so price movement while your LTC 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.

How long does a LTC to ETC exchange take?

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

Do I need an account to exchange LTC for ETC?

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

Swapping Litecoin for Ethereum Classic is a route often taken by proof-of-work enthusiasts moving between two mining-supported chains without touching proof-of-stake assets.

How to swap LTC for ETC

1
Open the exchange widget and select LTC as the send currency and ETC as the receive currency. The widget shows the live rate and the minimum amount for this pair.
2
Enter the amount of LTC you want to exchange and choose a fixed or floating rate.
3
Paste your ETC wallet address into the recipient field and double-check it. Select the network your wallet supports -- the receive network must match where your address lives.
4
Click Exchange and send your LTC to the deposit address shown. Your ETC arrives once the transaction confirms on-chain.

Before exchanging LTC → ETC

Before submitting your LTC → ETC swap, confirm which network you are sending LTC from — native Litecoin or BNB Smart Chain — and ensure the receiving side is set to the corresponding ETC network. Sending on the wrong network can result in funds arriving on an incompatible chain or not arriving at all. Neither LTC nor ETC requires a memo or destination tag on any of their supported networks, so no extra identifiers are needed for this route. Confirmation times can vary depending on network conditions and the chain selected, so allow some time before treating a swap as complete. Double-check the destination ETC address in full before confirming, as transactions on both chains are irreversible once broadcast.
