Swap ZEC for LTC

Check this before sending ZEC

  • The address network is Litecoin. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.

  • 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: ZEC → LTC

What rate does ZEC to LTC run at?
As of Nov 1, 2026 08:44 it is 1 ZEC = 22.3396 LTC. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $1,248.34.
What amounts does ZEC → LTC accept?
From 0.242041 to 8,040 ZEC per order. The lower limit is roughly $301.23.
Where does the 0.242041 ZEC floor come from?
Network fees and order handling eat a small transfer alive — below 0.242041 ZEC 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 ZEC, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does ZEC to LTC take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Zcash confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Zcash closes in about 1.3 min.
Which network will LTC arrive in?
Litecoin leaves in its own Litecoin network — a plain LTC 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 ZEC to LTC rate do this month?
The month came in at plus 4.62%. Low 18.5652, high 22.8798, middle 20.1685 LTC per ZEC.
Can a ZEC to LTC 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, LTC to ZEC?
Yes, the reverse direction is open: 1 LTC = 0.0452595 ZEC. The link sits right under the calculator.
