Before you start

Two things and you are ready. A wallet that can hold Litecoin and a little LTC for gas on its chain, and the receiving address you want the output delivered to, which can be a raw address or a web3 name where the wallet resolves one. The preview shows the full picture before anything is signed: what leaves, what arrives, the fee, and the network cost. Nothing in the flow asks you to hand over keys; the wallet stays yours and signs only what you approved on screen.

Fees and settlement

Two costs, both visible up front. The platform charges a flat 0.50% all-in on the swap and nothing hidden behind it, no spread and no routing cut. The network charges its gas in LTC, settling with about 2.5 min blocks on Proof-of-Work (Scrypt), itemized per leg in the preview. What settles is on-chain to the address you chose, under this asset's policy of 3 confirmations (standard), and once confirmed the balance is entirely yours to move with no platform anywhere in the path.

Underneath, an instant integration executes the trade with all-or-nothing semantics: partial fills do not exist here, and a route unable to meet the bounds you approved reverts the whole transaction rather than settling something worse. Your exposure window between legs is therefore zero, the only cost of a failed attempt is its gas, and re-quoting is a click.
