Swap LTC for ETC

Check this before sending LTC

  • The address network is Ethereum Classic. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
  • The transfer must not be smaller than 1.7788 LTC.
  • Copy the address whole, then compare the first and last characters after pasting.
  • Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.

Common questions: LTC → ETC

What rate does LTC to ETC run at?
As of Sep 17, 2026 18:38 it is 1 LTC = 7.2054 ETC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $53.10.
What amounts does LTC → ETC accept?
From 1.7788 to 189,000 LTC per order. The lower limit is roughly $93.99.
Where does the 1.7788 LTC floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 1.7788 LTC the swap stops making sense for either side.
What else is taken on top of the rate?
The payout is already calculated at the rate in the calculator. On top of it you only pay the network fee for sending LTC, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does LTC to ETC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Litecoin confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Litecoin closes in about 2.5 min.
Which network will ETC arrive in?
Ethereum Classic leaves in its own Ethereum Classic network — a plain ETC address is all you need.
What if the rate moves while I am paying?
The rate is pinned to the order and does not move while the order is alive. It can be recalculated if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.
What did the LTC to ETC rate do this month?
The month came in at minus 2.17%. Low 6.3061, high 7.2947, middle 6.8081 ETC per LTC.
Can I go back, ETC to LTC?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ETC = 0.140323 LTC. The link sits right under the calculator.
