Common questions: LTC → ZEC

What rate does LTC to ZEC run at?

As of Sep 17, 2026 06:48 it is 1 LTC = 0.0381098 ZEC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $52.73.

What amounts does LTC → ZEC accept?

From 3.8439 to 192,000 LTC per order. The lower limit is roughly $200.12.

Where does the 3.8439 LTC floor come from?

Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 3.8439 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 ZEC 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 ZEC arrive in?

Zcash leaves in its own Zcash network — a plain ZEC 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.

Can a LTC to ZEC swap be traced?

Transfers in public networks sit in the explorer for anyone to read. Privacy coins close that off: Monero always, Zcash and Dash when a shielded transfer is chosen.

Can I go back, ZEC to LTC?

Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 ZEC = 26.5307 LTC. The link sits right under the calculator.
