We’re excited to announce that Litecoin (LTC) is now supported on SwapKit through NEAR Intents, expanding the available routes for users and integrators. LTC was already live through THORChain, and with the addition of NEAR Intents, SwapKit now offers greater redundancy, more routing choice, and better execution pathways for Litecoin swaps.
This update strengthens LTC’s role as a fast, low-cost UTXO asset within the broader cross-chain ecosystem — while giving SwapKit partners a more flexible and robust swapping experience.
What This Means for SwapKit Integrators
1. Two independent providers for LTC
LTC swaps are now supported through:
- THORChain
- NEAR Intents
This dual-provider setup improves reliability and reduces dependency on any single network.
2. More routing options
Integrators automatically benefit from:
- Alternative paths when one provider has congestion
- Lower fees depending on market conditions
- Smarter execution across routing engines
- Additional coverage for assets and directions
SwapKit’s unified API handles quoting, routing, and execution across both providers without requiring new code.
3. Redundancy for mission-critical flows
Multi-provider support ensures users can still execute swaps even when:
- Liquidity shifts
- Fees spike
- A protocol experiences delays
- A provider undergoes maintenance
This is especially valuable for wallets and platforms supporting LTC as a base asset.
4. Better UX for LTC holders entering new ecosystems
With NEAR Intents added, LTC holders can move more smoothly across multiple chains and assets, benefiting from a cleaner, more consistent swap experience.
About Litecoin (LTC)
Litecoin is one of the most established cryptocurrencies, known for:
- Fast transaction times
- Low fees
- Strong uptime and resilience
- A large, global user base
Its UTXO design makes it a strong fit for native cross-chain liquidity systems, and the addition of NEAR Intents further enhances its connectivity.
How SwapKit Supports LTC Today
Available via:
- THORChain
- NEAR Intents
Supported flows include:
- LTC → BTC
- BTC → LTC
- LTC → EVM assets
- EVM assets → LTC
- LTC → Non-EVMs (ex. ZEC, TRON)
SwapKit’s routing engine automatically chooses the best provider based on:
- Pricing
- Execution time
- Fees
- Availability
- Reliability
No additional work is required from integrators.
Why Multi-Provider LTC Support Matters
The addition of NEAR Intents gives LTC users and integrators:
1. Better execution quality
More competition between providers = better pricing and deeper liquidity.
2. More resilience
If one provider experiences delays or volatility, SwapKit can route through the other.
3. More flexibility
Wallets and dApps can offer LTC swaps confidently across more networks.
4. A more decentralized, robust cross-chain experience
Redundancy is a core requirement of any mission-critical swap flow.
The Growing Cross-Chain Ecosystem
With Litecoin now live on both THORChain and NEAR Intents, SwapKit expands its support for UTXO assets and strengthens its multi-provider infrastructure.
This update reflects our mission to make cross-chain swaps:
- More reliable
- More accessible
- More consistent
- More decentralized
More providers.
More pathways.
Better routing.
That’s the foundation of the cross-chain future.
