Swapping Litecoin for Monero is a common route for users moving from a transparent, fast-settling chain to an asset with built-in privacy features at the protocol level. LTC serves as a liquid, widely accepted starting point, while XMR offers confidential transactions by default. This pair attracts users who want to exit a traceable UTXO chain and hold or use funds on Monero's privacy-focused network.
Both LTC and XMR have shown meaningful short-term price movement, so a fixed rate protects the amount of XMR you receive from shifting during the confirmation window. 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 XMR as the receive currency.
Enter the amount of LTC you want to exchange. The widget shows the live rate and minimum amount for this pair.
Paste your XMR wallet address into the recipient field. Double-check the address carefully — Monero addresses are long — and confirm whether your destination wallet requires a payment ID before proceeding.
Click Exchange and send your LTC to the deposit address shown, ensuring you use the correct network (native LTC or BNB Smart Chain). Your XMR will arrive once the transaction confirms on-chain.
Before confirming your swap, verify which network you are sending LTC from — Zest supports both native LTC and BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20 LTC), and sending on the wrong network will result in lost funds. XMR has only one supported network, so your receive address must be a standard Monero wallet address. Monero addresses do not use a memo or payment ID for typical wallet-to-wallet transfers, but some exchange-hosted wallets still require one — confirm with your destination wallet before proceeding. Both LTC and XMR have moved noticeably in recent 24-hour trading, so the spread between send and receive amounts can shift before your deposit confirms; a fixed rate locks in the quoted amount at the time you initiate the swap. Double-check your XMR address character by character, as Monero addresses are long and errors cannot be reversed once the transaction is broadcast.

Yes, Zest supports both native LTC and BEP-20 LTC on BNB Smart Chain as send options. You must select the network that matches the wallet you are sending from, as the two networks are not interchangeable and sending on the wrong one will result in unrecoverable funds.
A fixed rate locks in the XMR amount displayed at the time you confirm, protecting you if prices move while your LTC deposit is in transit. A floating rate follows the market and can work in your favour or against you depending on conditions during the confirmation window. Given recent volatility on both sides of this pair, many users prefer fixed.
Standard Monero wallet addresses do not require a payment ID for personal wallets. However, some exchange or hosted wallets still require one — always check with your destination provider before submitting your address. Omitting a required payment ID can cause your XMR to be unallocated or difficult to recover.

The total time depends on how quickly your LTC deposit receives enough on-chain confirmations, how long exchange processing takes, and how quickly the XMR payout confirms on the Monero network. Each of these steps is subject to varying network conditions, so completion time is not guaranteed and can range from several minutes to longer.
Zest does not require signup or account creation for standard swaps, and the exchange is non-custodial, meaning funds are not held on your behalf. However, Zest cannot guarantee that checks are never required in every circumstance. On the Monero side, XMR transactions are private by protocol design, obscuring sender, receiver, and amount on-chain.
