Swap LTC to ADA in three steps without creating an account. You see an estimated amount before you send, the exchange runs automatically once your deposit confirms, and the ADA goes straight to the wallet address you enter.
Enter the amount of Litecoin you want to swap in the widget above. It shows an estimate of the Cardano you will receive on the Cardano network at the current floating rate, with the payout network fee already taken into account.
Paste your ADA wallet address and check it twice, because blockchain transfers cannot be reversed. If the coin needs a memo or destination tag, a field for it appears. xswap.to never asks for your private keys.
Confirm the order and send your LTC to the one-time deposit address on the Litecoin network. Once the deposit confirms, the swap runs automatically and the ADA is sent to your wallet. The order page shows every stage.
Swapping Litecoin (LTC) for Cardano (ADA) here takes one transfer from your wallet: no exchange account, no balance to deposit and no withdrawal queue. You choose the receiving address, and the ADA goes there once the swap completes.
Rates are floating, so the amount shown is an estimate that can shift slightly while your Litecoin deposit confirms on Litecoin. The payout is sent on Cardano, so check that your Cardano address belongs to that network before you confirm.

1 LTC
≈
282.475639 ADA
At the latest hourly update, 1 LTC converts to about 282.475639 ADA. The figure comes from the floating rate and already allows for the payout network fee. Rates move, so the widget recalculates the estimate when you enter your own amount, and no account or registration is needed to swap.

You send Litecoin (LTC) from its own blockchain and receive Cardano's ADA at a Cardano wallet address you supply, with no account in between. Many people make this move to turn idle LTC into ADA they can delegate to a Cardano stake pool from their own wallet, since delegation on Cardano leaves the coins spendable and in the holder's custody. Others want ADA to use Cardano apps and native tokens.
Litecoin is a proof-of-work coin built on Bitcoin's design, using the Scrypt algorithm and a 2.5-minute block target. Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain whose Ouroboros protocol selects block producers from stake pools. The two chains share nothing at the protocol level, so value crosses between them through the exchange step. Your ADA payout needs a Cardano payment address that starts with addr1, and no memo or tag is required.
Before sending, check the widget's floating-rate estimate for your LTC to ADA exchange, with the Cardano network fee for the payout already deducted. If the market shifts before your Litecoin deposit confirms, the ADA amount can come in a little above or below that figure. Litecoin confirmations drive most of the wait. Cardano produces a block roughly every 20 seconds on average, so the payout leg is shorter. The order page shows every stage and your transaction ID.

Use a Cardano Shelley-era payment address, which starts with addr1 and is fairly long. Older Byron addresses beginning with Ae2 or DdzFF exist, but a modern addr1 address from a current wallet is the safer choice. A stake1 address is for rewards only and cannot receive this payout.
xswap.to has no staking feature, but Cardano lets you delegate from your own wallet. Once the ADA lands, a wallet that supports delegation can assign it to a stake pool while the coins stay at your address and remain spendable. Delegation rewards come from the Cardano protocol, not from xswap.to.
Any standard Litecoin wallet works, whether its addresses start with L, M or ltc1. The deposit is a normal on-chain LTC transaction to the one-time address shown on your order page. Do not send Litecoin from BNB Smart Chain to that address, because it accepts native LTC only.
The quote is a floating-rate estimate, and LTC and ADA prices can move while your Litecoin deposit waits for confirmations. The Cardano fee for sending your payout is already counted in the estimate. Small gaps in either direction come from that market movement.
No account, email or signup is needed. You enter the amount and your Cardano address, receive a one-time Litecoin deposit address, and send the coins. xswap.to does not ask for ID, although a partner's automated anti-money-laundering system can occasionally hold a flagged transaction for verification.
Start with the order page: if it says sending or finished, search the Cardano transaction ID in a block explorer to see the payout. If the status looks stuck, write to support on Telegram at @xswap_to and include the transaction ID. Support handles each problem case by case.
