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.
