Before you swap LTC to ADA
- Send LTC on Litecoin only — your deposit address is generated for Litecoin (starts with ltc1, L or M).
- Your wallet adds the Litecoin network fee on top of the amount you send, so keep a little extra LTC.
- Litecoin adds a block about every 150 seconds and your deposit is credited after 6 confirmations on Litecoin, so expect about 15 min to confirm on Litecoin + manual payout.
- Send between 0.1 and 5,000 LTC; the widget won’t create a swap outside this range.
- You need an address on Cardano to receive ADA (starts with addr1).
- ADA is also listed on BNB Chain. This pair pays out on Cardano only — make sure your wallet or exchange account accepts ADA on Cardano. Funds sent on a network your wallet doesn't support can be hard or impossible to recover.
Swapping the other way? Deposits of 20–500,000 ADA are credited after 20 confirmations on Cardano: a few minutes to confirm on Cardano + manual payout. Use the ADA to LTC exchange page.
Fees and exchange rate
ShadowSwap adds no spread or service fee: the LTC → ADA rate is the ratio of their live USD prices. Your wallet pays the Litecoin fee for the deposit in LTC; the Cardano network fee for sending your ADA is deducted from the payout. The ADA amount is calculated when you create the swap and saved on your order. See how ShadowSwap fees work.
FAQ: LTC to ADA
About 15 min to confirm on Litecoin + manual payout. Your LTC deposit is credited after 6 confirmations on Litecoin, where a block is added about every 150 seconds; payouts are not automatic, so the ShadowSwap team then sends your ADA on Cardano.
On this page, ADA is sent on Cardano. You need an address on Cardano to receive it — starts with addr1.
ShadowSwap does: your LTC goes to a one-time Litecoin deposit address that ShadowSwap controls until the team sends your ADA. Check the address, network and amount before you send.
