Bitcoin to Litecoin is a classic L1-to-L1 swap: BTC in, native LTC out. Litecoin uses a similar UTXO model with ~2.5-minute blocks, so the receive chain is faster than Bitcoin’s ~10-minute blocks. No KYC on Swap.bz.
You still wait on Bitcoin confirmation first. After that, LTC payout is usually quicker than paying BTC out. Typical Standard time is about 15–25 minutes in normal mempools — faster than BTC→XMR, in the same ballpark as BTC→ETH.
Use a Litecoin address (L…, M…, or ltc1…). Do not paste a Bitcoin address on the receive side even though the formats look related. SegWit/bech32 on LTC is not interchangeable with BTC bech32.
0.5% Standard / 1% Private Swap plus BTC and LTC miner fees. Reverse: LTC→BTC. If you wanted privacy rather than a faster BTC-like coin, use BTC→XMR.
Want no intermediary at all? The THORChain route swaps BTC to LTC directly through decentralised liquidity pools: no KYC, no AML screening, nothing anyone can freeze, automatic on-chain refunds. 1% fee — select THORChain in the widget.
From your Bitcoin wallet
Send BTC from any wallet you control — Sparrow, Electrum, BlueWallet, Ledger or Trezor or another self-custody wallet. You never connect a wallet to Swap.bz: the widget gives you a one-time deposit address and you send BTC to it like a normal transfer. Network: Bitcoin (on-chain). Native BTC on the Bitcoin network only. Lightning invoices and wrapped bitcoin (WBTC, cbBTC, BTCB) are different assets.
Receiving Litecoin: address and network
Paste a LTC address from a wallet you control (Litewallet, Exodus, Electrum-LTC, Ledger…). Payout network: Litecoin. Litecoin addresses start with L, M or ltc1. MWEB (private) addresses are not supported for deposits. Set the refund address at the same time: it must be a BTC address, on the network you send from.
