Lite Wallet is non-custodial, open source under MIT license on GitHub, and uses standard BIP-39 recovery phrases — the same standard most major crypto wallets use. Your private keys are derived from a 12-word paper key that stays on your device, never sent to any server. The code is auditable by anyone. For larger balances, pair Lite Wallet with a Ledger or Trezor hardware wallet so signing happens on a separate device. The biggest safety risks in self-custody are user-side: losing your paper key, falling for phishing, or installing a fake version. Download only from litewallet.dev and verify Code signing.

Go to litewallet.dev/download. Pick your platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android). For Windows, macOS, and Linux, you download a signed binary directly. For iOS and Android, you get redirected to the App Store and Google Play — search results for 'Lite Wallet' on either store also work. Always verify you're on litewallet.dev (not a phishing clone) before clicking a download link. Code signing for each binary are published at /security.

Yes — on every platform. MWEB works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android in Lite Wallet v3.16.0. You can peg in, send and receive confidentially inside MWEB, and peg out to standard Litecoin addresses. Most multicoin wallets do not support MWEB at all; Cake Wallet supports MWEB on most platforms but not Windows. Lite Wallet is currently the most complete MWEB implementation for Windows users specifically. Full explainer: /guides/mweb.

Yes. Lite Wallet supports Ledger Nano S Plus, Nano X, Stax, and Flex. Connect via USB (desktop) or Bluetooth (Nano X and Stax). Install the Litecoin app on your Ledger via Ledger Live, then pair with LiteWallet. Your private keys stay on the Ledger; Lite Wallet sends transaction details to the device for on-device review and signing. Setup walkthrough: /features/hardware-wallet.

Typically a few cents per transaction. Litecoin fees are paid in LTC per byte of transaction data, and the Litecoin network is historically uncongested — so fees stay low. Lite Wallet estimates the appropriate fee automatically and lets you adjust between economy, standard, and priority tiers. No LiteWallet-side fee on top — you pay only what goes to the Litecoin network.

LTC is the ticker symbol for Litecoin, a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency launched in 2011 by Charlie Lee. Block time is 2.5 minutes, supply cap is 84 million LTC, mining algorithm is scrypt, and privacy is available through the MWEB extension block. LTC is not a stock — it trades on crypto exchanges, not Nasdaq or NYSE. Complete explainer: /guides/what-is-litecoin.
