How the BTC to LTC swap works

Step 01

Enter your BTC amount

Open the pair with both sides preselected and type the amount of Bitcoin you are converting. The quote for LTC updates with it, all-in, before anything is committed.

Step 02

Compare the live offers

The instant-exchange network returns competing offers for the pair and the best net LTC amount is shown. The number you approve is the number that executes; there is no spread behind it.

Step 03

Confirm once

Approve the quote and send your BTC to the displayed address. One confirmation on the way in is all the flow asks; nothing is custodial anywhere in the path.

Step 04

Receive LTC at your address

The LTC settles on-chain to the address you chose, under 3 confirmations (standard). From confirmation it is an ordinary balance: spend it, hold it, or route it on.

This pair crosses networks: the BTC leaves on Bitcoin (UTXO) and the LTC arrives on Bitcoin (UTXO). The instant-exchange network handles both legs as one quoted trade, so the crossing is priced into the offer you approve rather than added after the fact.

Fees and settlement

Count it on one hand: 0.50% flat to the platform, stated in the quote with nothing behind it, plus each chain's gas for its leg of the trip. The route runs non-custodial end to end, so when the LTC settles 3 confirmations (standard) at your address, it is yours in the fullest sense: no custodian, no withdrawal queue, no platform in the path.

Before you start

The setup is short by design: one wallet capable of holding BTC, one receiving address for the LTC, and nothing else. Read the preview before signing, since it carries the entire trade at a glance, the amounts in and out with the fee and network costs included. The wallet stays yours throughout and signs only the transaction you read on screen.

BTC to LTC: FAQ

How does a BTC to LTC swap work?
Enter your BTC amount and your LTC address, then confirm. U.CASH finds the partner with the best live offer, gives you a BTC deposit address, and LTC is sent to your address once the deposit confirms.
Do I need a wallet extension to swap BTC for LTC?
No. The instant rail only needs the two addresses: a Bitcoin address (bc1… or legacy 1…/3…) for the deposit and refunds, and a Litecoin address (ltc1… or L…/M…) to receive the LTC.
How long does a BTC to LTC exchange take?
Bitcoin confirms in ~10 minute blocks, so the trade is usually waiting on the payout leg: most instant exchanges complete within ten to thirty minutes, tracked live on the status screen.
How long does a BTC to LTC swap take?
At the chains' pace. The exchange leg commits after the incoming transfer confirms and the LTC settles 3 confirmations (standard); the preview states the expectation with the quote, and the status you watch is the same one the settlement acts on.
Is the BTC to LTC swap non-custodial?
Yes. Your wallet signs every step and the LTC settles to the address you chose; U.CASH never holds either asset, and there is no platform wallet anywhere in the route.
