NETWORK-AWARE SWAP GUIDE
Exchange BTC to LTC with Guarda
Quick answer: enter the BTC amount, compare the provider's final LTC quote, send only on Bitcoin, and verify that the receiving address supports Litecoin. Your recovery phrase is never an exchange input.
The live calculation uses CoinGecko spot-market references and is not an executable offer. The selected provider determines the spread, minimum, maximum, compliance checks and confirmation threshold.
Before swapping BTC to LTC
Check the sending side
Use the Bitcoin network and verify the first and last characters of the receiving address. Do not send BTC to a Lightning invoice unless the provider explicitly supports Lightning.
Check the receiving side
Use the Litecoin network and a valid LTC address. Do not send LTC to a Bitcoin address despite similarities between the networks.
Allow for settlement
Bitcoin settlement depends on miner fees and block confirmations. Litecoin uses shorter block intervals than Bitcoin, while providers may require several confirmations.
What changes the BTC to LTC result?
The reference rate moves with both Bitcoin and Litecoin. The amount delivered can also change because of the provider spread, liquidity, the Bitcoin sending fee, the Litecoin receiving conditions and price movement before the order is locked.
BTC risk: Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. Network fees and confirmation times rise when block space is busy.
LTC risk: LTC is volatile, and transaction fees and confirmation times vary with network conditions.

BTC to LTC — FAQ
Bitcoin settlement depends on miner fees and block confirmations. The receiving Litecoin must then reach the confirmation threshold shown by the provider, so there is no guaranteed fixed duration.
A self-custody wallet does not require a custodial exchange account. The integrated exchange provider can still request checks when required by risk controls or local rules.
Compare the provider spread, the sending-network fee and any receiving-network cost shown in the binding quote. The CoinGecko calculation on this page is only a market reference.
Send native BTC on Bitcoin and confirm that the destination accepts native LTC on Litecoin. Never choose a network only because the ticker looks familiar.
The exchange provider should issue an order or transaction identifier. Keep it until the LTC transfer reaches your wallet and verify the result on the appropriate block explorer.
