About Litecoin (LTC)
Bitcoin's faster, cheaper sibling — the budget middle leg of the privacy playbook.
- · Same UTXO/transparent model as Bitcoin, but blocks every ~2.5 minutes and fees in cents.
- · Deposit confirmations for swaps: typically 1-4 blocks ≈ 5-10 minutes.
- · MWEB is LTC's optional privacy layer — but MWEB balances must peg out to the main chain before paying a normal deposit address.
About Zcash (ZEC)
Optional privacy done with zero-knowledge proofs — shielded pools hide sender, receiver and amount.
- · Two address types: transparent (t-) works like Bitcoin; shielded (z-/unified u-) encrypts everything with zk-SNARKs. Privacy only holds if you stay inside the shielded pool.
- · Block time ~75 seconds; expect roughly 10-12 minutes for deposit confirmations on swaps.
- · Unified addresses (UA) let the wallet auto-pick the best receiver type — the practical default for new users.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need KYC or an account to swap LTC to ZEC?
- No. There is no account, no email and no identity check — you paste a receiving address and send.
- How long does a LTC to ZEC swap take?
- Usually 10–30 minutes, counted from the moment your deposit reaches the required confirmations.
- Does the rate change after I create the order?
- No. This pair uses fixed-rate: the payout is locked at order creation and does not move afterwards.
- What is the minimum amount?
- It is set per pair by the liquidity provider and shown live in the widget above — the quote returns an error with the exact minimum if you go under it.
- What happens if I send less than the quoted amount?
- Underpaid orders are refunded to the refund address you provide, once the provider confirms the shortfall.
- Do you hold my coins at any point?
- No. Your deposit goes to a one-time address at a third-party liquidity provider, not to a VeilSwap wallet.
- Where does the rate come from?
- From third-party liquidity providers. We compare quotes per pair and route to the one that pays out the most.
- Can I swap ZEC back to LTC?
- Yes — both directions are live and use the same fixed-rate order flow. The reverse page is linked below.
- Can I use VeilSwap over Tor?
- Yes. An onion mirror serves the same application — same quotes, same order flow, not a reduced copy.
- What if the swap fails?
- You are refunded automatically to the refund address you entered, once the provider reports the failure.
