Litecoin to Tether ERC-20 Exchange Rates
Litecoin uses Scrypt proof of work, with 6 confirmations at a 150 s average block interval giving a nominal 15 min confirmation budget. USDT-ERC20 runs on proof-of-stake Ethereum, where 12 confirmations at 12 s slots give a nominal 2 min 24 s budget, which is not consensus finality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does LTC to USDT-ERC20 take?
Using the supplied block intervals: LTC requires 6 × 150 s = 900 s (15 min), and Ethereum requires 12 × 12 s = 144 s (2 min 24 s). Sequential confirmation waits therefore total 1,044 s (17 min 24 s), as a nominal estimate rather than a guaranteed completion time. The supplied typical settlement windows are 10–18 min and 5–10 min, totaling 15–28 min if sequential; transaction inclusion, missed Ethereum slots and provider processing can alter the end-to-end duration.
What network fees apply to this swap?
The LTC deposit fee is paid in LTC by the depositing wallet and depends on transaction virtual size and the selected fee rate. The USDT-ERC20 payout incurs Ethereum gas paid in ETH by the payout sender: fee = gas used × effective gas price, comprising the base fee plus effective priority fee. ERC-20 transfer gas usage depends on contract execution, and both networks' fee rates vary with demand. Whether payout costs are included in or deducted from the quoted USDT amount is provider-specific; service or routing fees are separate from network fees.
