Three steps on Web3Swap
-
Enter the LTC size and paste the Zcash payout address for Zcash mainnet on this Web3Swap ticket.
-
Confirm Exchange to lock the live Web3Swap quote and reveal this ticket’s deposit details.
-
Broadcast exactly that LTC amount to the deposit. After Litecoin mainnet confirms, ZEC is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Litecoin typically needs a few confirmations before the swap continues.
- Blocks target 2.5 minutes — still subject to mempool delays.
- Use a standard Litecoin mainnet address (Legacy, SegWit, or M-address formats supported on most routes).
- If ZEC is late, refresh your wallet and re-check the ticket. When a payout hash is already listed, email or SimpleX support with your Exchange ID — Web3Swap has no login that lists expired orders.
Litecoin on Web3Swap — fast UTXO sends
LTC is a UTXO cousin of Bitcoin with quicker blocks and lighter fees. Web3Swap tickets treat it as a wallet-to-wallet rail — confirm the address format before you broadcast.
The speed and fees of the Litecoin blockchain
When you fund a swap with LTC, ~2.5-minute blocks help deposits confirm sooner than on many busier chains.
Typical fees stay low — about 0.0004 LTC (~$0.02 at current prices). Leave a little extra for the miner fee so the full amount you intend to send reaches the deposit address.
Litecoin address formats
If a send fails, your wallet may be using an unsupported address type for this route.
Contact support with your order ID before retrying on a different format.
Zcash tickets — transparent vs shielded
Zcash Web3Swap tickets lock either a transparent or shielded receive format on-screen. Sending the other type is the most common reason ZEC never credits.
ZEC receipt troubleshooting
Confirm address type matches your wallet. Rescan the blockchain in your Zcash client if needed.
Transparent vs shielded payouts
Zcash supports both transparent (t-) and shielded (z-) addresses — they are not interchangeable.
- Use the address type your wallet actually supports before placing the order.
- Shielded payouts may take longer to appear depending on wallet software.
- If the order shows a sent tx but balance is zero, rescan the chain in your Zcash client first.
Deposit checklist
Chain mismatches and bad addresses are the usual failure modes — skim these notes before you fund the deposit.

FAQ for this route
Do I need KYC or a Web3Swap login for LTC → ZEC?
No. A standard Litecoin → Zcash ticket on Web3Swap skips signup and ID upload. You stay self-custodial on both legs.
How soon does ZEC usually arrive?
After the Litecoin mainnet deposit is final, many payouts leave within minutes. Congestion on Litecoin mainnet or Zcash mainnet can stretch that — mempools and fees set the clock, not a compliance hold.
Does Web3Swap custody my LTC or ZEC?
No. You broadcast LTC from a wallet you control; ZEC pays only to the address you paste. Nothing sits as a named Web3Swap balance.
What if I send LTC on the wrong rail?
Match Litecoin mainnet exactly as printed on the Web3Swap ticket badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — verify before you broadcast.
