Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much LTC to send and paste the Polygon address that should receive funds on Polygon mainnet.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast LTC to that destination. Once confirmations clear, MATIC is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Litecoin typically needs a few confirmations before the swap continues.
- Blocks target 2.5 minutes — still subject to mempool delays.
- Use a standard Litecoin mainnet address (Legacy, SegWit, or M-address formats supported on most routes).
- Still waiting on MATIC? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
Litecoin — Bitcoin's first fork
Litecoin (LTC) is a 2011 Bitcoin fork created by Charlie Lee, with early input from other developers including a former Google engineer. It keeps peer-to-peer transfers but targets faster blocks and lower everyday fees. Traders often call it "digital silver."
The speed and fees of the Litecoin blockchain
When you fund a swap with LTC, ~2.5-minute blocks help deposits confirm sooner than on many busier chains.
Typical fees stay low — about 0.0004 LTC (~$0.02 at current prices). Leave a little extra for the miner fee so the full amount you intend to send reaches the deposit address.
Litecoin address formats
If a send fails, your wallet may be using an unsupported address type for this route.
Contact support with your order ID before retrying on a different format.
Polygon — low-cost EVM layer-2
MATIC (POL) powers Polygon — fast EVM transfers, low fees, and wide DeFi and bridge liquidity.
MATIC not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Polygon PoS mainnet and fully synced.
MATIC payout tips
- Use a Polygon-compatible wallet and verify the receive address starts with 0x.
- Check Polygonscan with the payout tx hash if your balance has not updated.
- Do not expect MATIC on Ethereum — this route pays out on Polygon PoS.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap LTC for MATIC on TunnelSwap?
No. TunnelSwap is an anonymous no-KYC, privacy-first exchange. There is no account, no ID upload, and no standing balance for Litecoin → Polygon swaps.
How fast is a LTC → MATIC swap?
Most routes settle within minutes. Final timing follows Litecoin mainnet deposit confirmations and Polygon mainnet payout speed.
Does TunnelSwap hold my LTC or MATIC?
No. You fund the deposit from your wallet and MATIC is sent straight to the address you paste — non-custodial, wallet to wallet.
What if I use the wrong network for LTC?
Only send on the network shown for the order (Litecoin mainnet). Wrong-chain deposits can be unrecoverable — review the safety guides before you broadcast.
