How to complete a crosschain transaction (Litecoin)
An in-depth guide outlining how to complete a LTC crosschain transaction using the WanBridge web portal.
This guide will demonstrate two separate crosschain transactions:
- $LTC from Wanchain to Litecoin using the WanBridge web portal with Metamask
- $LTC from Litecoin to Wanchain using the WanBridge web portal
Note: All crosschain transactions from EVM networks follow the same process. This includes all supported EVM networks including Wanchain, Ethereum, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Fantom, Moonriver, Moonbeam, etc.
Wanchain to Litecoin crosschain transactions using the WanBridge web portal
Step 1: Make sure you have the appropriate wallets installed.
Before completing decentralised crosschain transactions using the WanBridge web portal, you need to ensure you have access to the correct wallet(s). You must have wallets for each network involved in the crosschain transaction. Metamask is a fantastic wallet that grants you access to any EVM-compatible blockchain networks.
Step 2: Visit https://bridge.wanchain.org/ and connect your wallet.
Click “Connect to Wallet”.
Click “MetaMask”.
If this is your first time using the WanBridge web portal, you will first need to give permission to connect your wallet. Follow the MetaMask prompts by clicking “Next” then “Connect” as instructed.
Step 3: Initiate a crosschain transaction to move your $LTC from Wanchain to Litecoin.
Select “LTC” from the drop-down menu. Then, choose “Wanchain” and “Litecoin” as your From and To networks, respectively. Finally, input your destination address in the “Recipient” field as well as the amount of $LTC you want to send crosschain. Click “Next”.
Confirm that all the details are correct then click “Confirm”.
Confirm the transaction by clicking “Confirm” in the MetaMask pop-up window.
Step 4: Wait for your crosschain transaction to complete. It is now processing.
While your crosschain transaction is processing, the status will change three times:
- Processing (1/2)
- Processing (2/2)
- Success
Note: The speed of the crosschain transaction is entirely dependent on the networks involved. Transactions involving slower networks like Bitcoin or Ethereum may take several minutes or more to complete.
Step 5: Confirm the receipt of your funds. Your crosschain transaction is complete!
Once your crosschain transaction is complete, you’ll see your $LTC balance on Litecoin and the crosschain transaction status change to “Success”.
Litecoin to Wanchain crosschain transactions using the WanBridge web portal
Step 1: Make sure you have the appropriate wallets installed.
Before completing decentralised crosschain transactions using the WanBridge web portal, you need to ensure you have access to the correct wallet(s). You must have wallets for each network involved in the crosschain transaction. When transferring from networks that do not support native smart contracts, you will be instructed to manually send a transaction to initiate the crosschain transaction. It is highly recommended to only use a wallet that you own and control.
Step 2: Visit https://bridge.wanchain.org/.
Step 3: Initiate a crosschain transaction to move your $LTC from Litecoin to Wanchain.
Select “LTC” from the drop-down menu. Then, choose “Litecoin” and “Wanchain” as your From and To networks, respectively. Finally, input your destination address in the “Recipient” field as well as the amount of $LTC you want to send crosschain. Click “Next”.
Step 4: Manually send your $LTC to the One-time Address.
Copy the One-time Address and manually transfer the listed number of $LTC using the Litecoin wallet of your choice. It is highly recommended to use a Litecoin wallet that you own and control.
Note: Be sure to send the correct number of $LTC, as indicated. Send the entire amount as ONE transaction.
Read the warning and click “Confirm”.
Step 5: Wait for your crosschain transaction to complete. It is now processing.
While your crosschain transaction is processing, the status will change three times:
- Processing (1/2)
- Processing (2/2)
- Success
Note: The speed of the crosschain transaction is entirely dependent on the networks involved. Transactions involving slower networks like Bitcoin or Ethereum may take several minutes or more to complete.
Step 6: Confirm the receipt of your funds. Your crosschain transaction is complete!
Once your crosschain transaction is complete, you’ll see your $LTC balance on Wanchain (called $wanLTC) and the crosschain transaction status change to “Success”.
