Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the LTC amount and paste your Ripple payout address on XRP Ledger.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send LTC to that deposit. After confirmations, XRP 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).
- XRP 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.
XRP — fast ledger settlements
XRP moves quickly on the XRP Ledger — designed for rapid settlement with minimal transaction fees.
XRP payout delays
If XRP is missing, verify destination tag requirements and that your wallet supports the XRP Ledger mainnet.
When will XRP arrive?
XRP Ledger settlements are among the fastest in crypto — often seconds after your deposit confirms.
- Check whether your receiving wallet requires a destination tag and that you entered it on the order form.
- Leave enough XRP reserve if your wallet needs a minimum balance to activate the account.
- Use the payout tx hash on an XRP Ledger explorer if your wallet balance has not updated.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade LTC for XRP?
No. GetSwap is a NO-KYC & Privacy-First Crypto Exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Litecoin → Ripple.
How long is a LTC → XRP order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Litecoin mainnet and XRP Ledger confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody LTC or XRP?
No. You send LTC yourself and XRP 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.
