About this pair

LTC to ADA moves value between the Litecoin and Cardano ecosystems without an intermediate hop. U.CASH compares live partner offers and shows the best ADA receive amount before you commit. Send LTC to the deposit address, and ADA lands at a Cardano address (addr1…).

Before you start

The setup is short by design: one wallet capable of holding LTC, one receiving address for the ADA, 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.

How the LTC to ADA swap works

Step 01

Enter your LTC amount

Open the pair with both sides preselected and type the amount of Litecoin you are converting. The quote for ADA 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 ADA 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 LTC 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 ADA at your address

The ADA settles on-chain to the address you chose, under ~2 min to full stake-based finality. From confirmation it is an ordinary balance: spend it, hold it, or route it on.

This pair crosses networks: the LTC leaves on Bitcoin (UTXO) and the ADA arrives on Layer 1. 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

The platform side of this pair is a flat 0.50%, quoted all-in with the offer before you commit: no spread, no routing cut behind the number. The network side is the gas each chain charges to move, shown per leg in the preview. Settlement is on-chain to the address you choose, ~2 min to full stake-based finality, and from that point the ADA answers to your keys alone.

LTC to ADA: FAQ

How does a LTC to ADA swap work?

Enter your LTC amount and your ADA address, then confirm. U.CASH finds the partner with the best live offer, gives you a LTC deposit address, and ADA is sent to your address once the deposit confirms.

Do I need a wallet extension to swap LTC for ADA?

No. The instant rail only needs the two addresses: a Litecoin address (ltc1… or L…/M…) for the deposit and refunds, and a Cardano address (addr1…) to receive the ADA.

How long does a LTC to ADA exchange take?

Litecoin confirms in ~2.5 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 LTC to ADA swap take?

At the chains' pace. The exchange leg commits after the incoming transfer confirms and the ADA settles ~2 min to full stake-based finality; the preview states the expectation with the quote, and the status you watch is the same one the settlement acts on.

Is the LTC to ADA swap non-custodial?

Yes. The only signatures are yours, the route is atomic, and the ADA arrives at your own address: nothing is held, pooled, or rehypothecated along the way.
