How to receive Litecoin on Nexus?

Last updated on Jun 19, 2025

Before receiving Litecoin, make sure you’ve saved your 24-word seed phrase, as it's the only way to recover your wallet in case of loss or device change.

  1. Tap the “Receive” button:
    You’ll find it on the main screen.

  2. Choose the type of address:

    • If you want to receive Litecoin normally, use the address that starts with ltc1....

    • If you prefer to receive privately, select the “Receive Privately” option, which starts with ltcmweb1....

    Note: The person sending you Litecoin must also use a wallet compatible with MWEB for privacy to be preserved.

  3. Share your address:

    Your address will appear in two different formats.

    • Alphanumeric code: Tap to copy it to the clipboard. You can also use the share button.

    • QR code: Can be scanned from another device to auto-fill the address.

  4. Funds will arrive:
    The transaction will appear immediately in your wallet, and the funds can be spent after a single confirmation is received, within a few minutes.


ℹ️ Transaction details you’ll see when receiving Litecoin:

  • The address the Litecoin was sent from.

  • The address it was sent to, and the change address.

  • The TX ID (Transaction ID), which you can use to check the transaction status on the Blockchain.

  • The network fee.

  • The exact date and time when the transaction occurred.

  • You can also add a label or personal note.

If you want to view the status of your transfer from Nexus, simply tap “View on Blockchain”.
