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 account required on Swap.bz.
The provider waits for the required Bitcoin confirmations before processing your exchange and sending LTC. Follow each stage on your order page. Litecoin block times alone do not determine how long the swap takes.
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.
The THORChain route swaps BTC to LTC through on-chain liquidity pools. Select it to check availability, the receive estimate and deposit instructions. Service fee: 1%, plus network costs. Use a wallet you control and include the required memo.
From your Bitcoin wallet
Send BTC from a wallet you control, such as Sparrow, Electrum, BlueWallet, Ledger or Trezor. Check that it supports the network and any memo required by your order. You do not need to connect the wallet: use the deposit instructions shown after creating the order. 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.
