Account identity
Aperture derives and validates the public account under Litecoin rules. It does not assign a generic address from another network family.
Supported production mainnet
Litecoin in Aperture.
A network-aware home for LTC—with Litecoin addresses, fees, asset identity, transaction state, and safety boundaries kept visible.
Understand the network
Litecoin is not just a ticker.
Litecoin is a separate UTXO network. Transactions select previous outputs and create new outputs, with change returning to a wallet-controlled Litecoin address.
Address format. Litecoin mainnet supports Litecoin-specific encodings, including modern ltc1 addresses and supported legacy-compatible forms.
Check the Litecoin network label and full address. Prefix recognition is a useful warning signal, not a substitute for wallet validation.
Native asset and tokens
LTC is the native asset and fee unit. Similar transaction mechanics do not make a Bitcoin or Dogecoin address a Litecoin destination.
Fees and transaction state
Fees depend on transaction size and the selected fee rate. Confirmations accumulate on the Litecoin blockchain after inclusion in a block.
Mainnet boundary
This catalog entry is Litecoin mainnet. Aperture’s production catalog does not expose testnet balances, endpoints, or transaction routes.
Receive safely
The network is part of the address.
In Aperture, choose Litecoin and the exact asset before copying an address or QR code. The sender, exchange, or bridge must use the same mainnet. A matching symbol, logo, or familiar-looking string does not prove compatibility.
- Confirm the receive screen says Litecoin.
- Copy or scan the complete address; do not retype it.
- Check whether the sending service requires an additional memo, tag, or network-specific field.
- For a new route or meaningful amount, consider a small test transfer first.
- Keep the receive screen available until the sender has verified the same network.
Send deliberately
Review what the signature will authorize.
Aperture keeps asset selection, recipient validation, amount, fee review, authorization, broadcast, and finality as distinct stages. Before authorizing a transaction on Litecoin, review the full recipient, the LTC amount, and the network fee together.
Blockchain transfers may be irreversible. Aperture cannot cancel a confirmed transaction, recover an incorrect destination, or move an asset that was sent through the wrong network.
Transaction signing happens on the device. Public account data, fee requests, transaction history, and the signed transaction may reach network infrastructure; the private signing key is not part of the broadcast payload.
