Fixed rate or floating rate for LTC → BTC?

Fixed rate

The BTC amount is locked when you confirm. The provider carries the market risk while your LTC deposit confirms, so the payout matches the quote as long as you send on time and within the quoted limits. Best when you need certainty on the exact amount received.

Floating rate

The swap executes at the market rate when your LTC deposit lands. It can pay out more BTC than a fixed quote, but the final amount can move up or down while the deposit confirms.

What to check before swapping LTC to BTC

LTC and BTC addresses can look similar, so address checks matter most on this swap.

Use a Bitcoin address, not Litecoin: Litecoin addresses often start with L, M or ltc1; Bitcoin addresses start with 1, 3 or bc1. Enter a Bitcoin address you control.
Send LTC on Litecoin: Send native LTC to the deposit address shown, not a wrapped LTC token on another chain.
Compare the BTC payout: Judge quotes by the estimated BTC received and read the fixed or floating terms.
