Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the LTC amount and paste your Optimism payout address on Optimism mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send LTC to that deposit. After confirmations, OP 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).
- OP not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Litecoin — Bitcoin's first fork
Litecoin (LTC) is a 2011 Bitcoin fork created by Charlie Lee, with early input from other developers including a former Google engineer. It keeps peer-to-peer transfers but targets faster blocks and lower everyday fees. Traders often call it "digital silver."
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.
Optimism — Ethereum L2 with low fees
OP is the governance token of Optimism — an Ethereum rollup with fast, low-cost transfers and deep Superchain liquidity.
OP not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Optimism mainnet and fully synced.
OP payout tips
- Payouts go to Optimism — verify your wallet RPC is set to Optimism, not Ethereum mainnet.
- Check Optimistic Etherscan with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Allow a minute for your wallet to refresh after the explorer shows the transfer.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade LTC for OP?
No. GetSwap is a NO-KYC & Privacy-First Crypto Exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Litecoin → Optimism.
How long is a LTC → OP order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Litecoin mainnet and Optimism mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody LTC or OP?
No. You send LTC yourself and OP is paid to the address you enter — GetSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
What if I pick the wrong LTC network?
Match the network printed on the order (Litecoin mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
