What is Litecoin?
Launched by Charlie Lee in October 2011, Litecoin is one of the oldest altcoins still actively used. It is a fork of Bitcoin with two important changes: a faster block time of 2.5 minutes (versus Bitcoin's 10) and the Scrypt hashing algorithm. The result is a network that confirms transactions roughly four times faster while keeping a similar security model and a fixed supply cap of 84 million coins.
Why exchange LTC on the FF platform?
- Faster confirmations. FixedFloat needs only 3 LTC confirmations — about 7–8 minutes total — before paying out.
- Lower on-chain fees. A typical LTC transaction costs cents, regardless of mempool conditions.
- Deep BTC↔LTC liquidity. The hot wallet handles size without slippage.
- Privacy. No registration for standard pairs.
Best LTC pairs
The most popular flows on FixedFloat involve Litecoin as a fast settlement layer. LTC → BTC is one of the fastest ways to move value into Bitcoin without waiting on a slow Bitcoin deposit confirmation. LTC → USDT (TRC-20) is great for parking a profit; LTC → XMR is a private exit; LTC → ETH moves you onto a smart-contract chain in two minutes.
How long does an LTC swap take on ff-io.io?
The FF engine waits for 3 Litecoin confirmations — about 6–8 minutes after broadcast. Once confirmed, the receive-chain payout happens immediately. End-to-end, an LTC swap typically completes in 7 to 12 minutes.
Litecoin minimum and fees
The minimum LTC deposit on FixedFloat is roughly 0.4 LTC. The platform fee is 0.5% for fixed-rate orders and 0.5% with no volatility spread for float-rate orders. The on-chain LTC network fee is negligible.
MimbleWimble Extension Block (MWEB)
Litecoin's MWEB extension introduces optional confidential transactions. FixedFloat currently supports standard non-MWEB Litecoin deposits and payouts, which represent the overwhelming majority of LTC traffic. MWEB-related deposits are handled on a case-by-case basis through manual processing.
