Litecoin is a proof-of-work blockchain that launched in 2011 as a lighter, faster alternative to Bitcoin. It started from its own genesis block rather than splitting off from Bitcoin, and miners secure the network by competing to add new blocks. It is not an EVM chain and has no general smart contract layer, so it works mainly as a payments network rather than a platform for building apps.
The native token is LTC. It pays transaction fees and is the asset people send and trade. Fees on Litecoin are generally low and can rise when the network is busy. DeFi activity is small, with about $872,366 in TVL at the time of writing.
The 26 dApps listed here are mostly services that touch Litecoin from the outside. Centralized exchanges lead the list, including Binance, OKX, Bitget, Gate and HTX. Coinbase Bridge offers wrapped Litecoin, and cross-chain tools such as THORChain DEX, NEAR Intents and Wan Bridge let users swap or move value between networks. CoolWallet covers self-custody. Large TVL figures on exchanges reflect holdings across many chains, not Litecoin usage alone.

Litecoin FAQs
Is Litecoin an EVM chain?
No. Litecoin is a proof-of-work blockchain that launched in 2011 as a lighter, faster alternative to Bitcoin, and it does not run the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Its main job is payments and value transfer, not hosting smart contract apps.
Can I use DeFi apps on Litecoin?
Not in the usual sense. Litecoin has very little native DeFi, with about $872,366 in DeFi TVL at the time of writing. Most listings here are exchanges, bridges, cross-chain swap tools and wallets that support LTC rather than apps built on Litecoin itself.
What is LTC used for?
LTC is the native token. It pays network transaction fees and is the asset people send, hold and trade. Fees are generally low compared with many chains, but they can change with network demand.
How can I swap or move Litecoin to another chain?
Several routes exist. Centralized exchanges such as Binance, OKX, Bitget, Gate and HTX handle trading. Coinbase Bridge offers wrapped Litecoin backed by held assets. THORChain DEX and NEAR Intents let users swap across chains without using a centralized exchange. Check each service's supported assets and terms before you use it.
Where can I store LTC?
Self-custody wallets such as CoolWallet let you keep your own keys, and CoolWallet is a card-sized hardware device that supports Litecoin. Holding your own keys means you are responsible for backing up your recovery phrase. Exchanges hold assets on your behalf, which carries custody risk.
Why do the TVL figures for exchanges look so large?
Exchange TVL usually reflects reserves held across many chains, not activity on Litecoin alone. Because one exchange can support Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and others, the figure says little about Litecoin usage. Treat it as a rough size indicator for the platform.
Do I need to worry about KYC or regional limits?
Rules differ by country and by platform. Some exchanges require identity checks, and some are not available in every region. Confirm that a service is legal and available where you live before you sign up.
What is the largest dApp on Litecoin by TVL?
