Swap Litecoin (LTC) to Monero (XMR)
Swapping Litecoin (LTC) to Monero (XMR) is one of the cheapest ways into private Monero. Litecoin produces a block roughly every 2.5 minutes and its transaction fees are usually a fraction of a cent, so the deposit leg costs little and confirms quickly. SwapRocket compares live LTC to XMR quotes from the connected providers that carry Monero and pays native XMR straight to a wallet you control — no SwapRocket account and zero added fees.

Fixed rate or floating rate for LTC → XMR?
- Fixed rate
- The XMR amount is locked when you confirm. The provider carries the market risk while your LTC deposit confirms, so the payout matches the quote even if the price moves. Best when you need certainty on the exact amount received.
- Floating rate
- The swap executes at the market rate when your LTC deposit lands. Usually pays out slightly more XMR than a fixed quote, but the final amount can move up or down while the deposit confirms.
Why swap LTC to XMR on SwapRocket
- Aggregated rate comparison. SwapRocket compares quotes across multiple providers so your XMR payout reflects the strongest quote SwapRocket found at that moment — with zero added fees, so you can compare elsewhere before confirming.
- Non-custodial. SwapRocket never holds your LTC or XMR. The Monero is sent straight to the wallet address you provide.
- No account. No SwapRocket account is required to swap LTC for XMR. The selected provider may request identity verification or hold a transaction for review under its own compliance policy, regardless of amount.
- Fixed or floating rate. Lock the LTC/XMR rate at quote time, or use the market rate at execution.
Why swap LTC → XMR
- Move a Litecoin balance into Monero without paying Bitcoin-level miner fees on the deposit.
- Use LTC as a fast, low-cost bridge from a public ledger into a private one.
- Fund a new Monero wallet from LTC earned or received elsewhere.
- Rebalance between two long-running proof-of-work coins.
Network fees explained
- Sending LTC
- The Litecoin network fee is set by your wallet when you send and is typically well under one cent. Providers usually wait for a small number of LTC confirmations; with ~2.5-minute blocks that is normally a few minutes. Note that coins sent from Litecoin's optional MWEB extension blocks need to be moved to a regular LTC address first — send the deposit from a standard address.
- Receiving XMR
- The XMR payout is broadcast by the routing provider, so you need no Monero beforehand. Monero blocks arrive about every two minutes, and received XMR becomes spendable after 10 confirmations (roughly 20 minutes).

LTC → XMR FAQ
How do I swap LTC to XMR?
Enter the amount of Litecoin you want to exchange, paste your Monero wallet address, and confirm the deposit. SwapRocket aggregates quotes from multiple providers and settles XMR directly to your wallet — no account required.
How long does a LTC to XMR swap take?
Most LTC/XMR swaps average under 10 minutes, depending on Litecoin network confirmation times.
What's the fee to swap LTC to XMR?
SwapRocket aggregates quotes and routes to the best executable rate. The displayed quote is what you receive — there is no hidden spread. Network fees for Litecoin apply on top.
Do I need an account to exchange LTC for XMR?
No. SwapRocket is non-custodial — provide a Monero address and swap directly from your wallet.
What's the minimum LTC to XMR swap?
Minimums are set by the underlying liquidity provider and shown live before you confirm a quote.
Why use LTC instead of BTC to buy XMR?
Litecoin's fees are usually far lower and its blocks come about four times as often as Bitcoin's, so the deposit leg is cheaper and tends to confirm faster. The XMR you receive is the same either way; compare the live LTC and BTC quotes to see which route pays more for your amount.
How long does an LTC to XMR swap take?
Most swaps finish in under 10 minutes on average: a few minutes for the LTC deposit to confirm, then the provider sends XMR, which arrives in the next Monero block and unlocks after 10 confirmations.
Do I need an account or ID to swap LTC to XMR?
SwapRocket never asks you to create an account for a crypto-to-crypto swap. The swap is executed by a third-party provider under its own AML policy, and a provider can hold a transaction for review if its risk checks flag it.
Can I send LTC from an MWEB address?
Send from a regular Litecoin address. Deposit addresses expect standard LTC transactions; move MWEB coins back to a regular address in your wallet first.
