Quick answers
What restores Litecoin?
A Litecoin Core wallet.dat, an Electrum-LTC seed, or a backup: the same family of routes as Bitcoin. If the file is encrypted, any password clues help narrow the search.
Why does a restored wallet show zero LTC?
Check the address type (L, M or ltc1) and wallet type. Compare the restored addresses with addresses you previously used and check their transaction history. A zero balance alone does not identify the cause or confirm that the recovery phrase is the right one.
Is Electrum-LTC seed BIP-39?
No. Electrum-LTC follows Electrum’s own seed format, not BIP-39.
Our Litecoin wallet recovery services
Forgotten Litecoin wallet password
You still have the wallet file, such as a Litecoin Core wallet.dat, an Electrum-LTC file or a mobile app backup, but the password is gone. Litecoin Core's wallet.dat encryption follows Bitcoin Core's scheme, so a password search works the same way: candidates are tested against a copy of the file. A remembered password pattern or era narrows it. With the file available, this is one of the most established recovery scenarios. Our Litecoin Core guide sets out the specific steps.
Deleted or lost Litecoin wallet file
The wallet was on a computer you no longer use, a drive that was reformatted, or a folder lost during a reinstall. Files from older computers often survive, because deletion rarely destroys the underlying data on a hard drive; on an SSD, the TRIM function may already have cleared it. Leave the drive powered off until it has been assessed. Wallet on a broken computer or drive
Invalid or incomplete seed phrase
Your recovery phrase is rejected, or some words are missing. Most modern Litecoin wallets use 12- or 24-word BIP-39 phrases, while Electrum-LTC follows Electrum's own seed format, so a BIP-39 checker will usually call a valid Electrum-LTC seed invalid. We work with both. The checksum and the word list make a bounded reconstruction possible: we reconstruct phrases with up to four missing words, depending on which positions are known and whether a known address can confirm a candidate. Invalid seed or mnemonic
Old or discontinued Litecoin wallet
Litecoin-Qt from the early years, Loafwallet before it became Litewallet, Jaxx Liberty after its 2023 shutdown, or old Electrum-LTC and fork-coin clients that no longer run. Discontinued software does not affect the coins themselves. Where a file survives, its format is known and the file is the route; reading these older wallet formats is routine work for us. Old wallet won't open?
Damaged private key or partial backup
A paper backup that is torn or faded, or an exported key with characters that are no longer legible. When enough of the key remains, reconstruction is often possible: a private key in WIF format carries its own checksum, and the blockchain lets a known address confirm the result with certainty.

Before you contact us
Mistakes to avoid
- Don't keep using a drive that held a deleted wallet. Leave it powered off until it has been assessed.
- Don't work on the original wallet file. Make copies first, and never upload one to an online checker or recovery site.
- Don't trust a BIP-39 checker with an Electrum-LTC seed: it will usually call a valid seed invalid.
- Don't assume the phrase or file is bad when a restored wallet shows zero LTC. Check the address type first.
- Don't type a partial phrase or a private key into a website or online tool.
- Be skeptical of any service that claims it can rebuild a completely lost phrase.
- Never share your phrase, private key or password with anyone, including us. The assessment needs none of them.
Information that helps the assessment
- Which wallet you used, such as Litecoin Core (Litecoin-Qt), Electrum-LTC, Litewallet or Loafwallet, Jaxx Liberty, Exodus or a hardware wallet, and roughly when.
- What you still have: an encrypted wallet.dat or other wallet file, a recovery phrase (even partial), a backup or a private key. Describe it; don't send it.
- For a password: what you remember about it, such as its length, pattern or the era it dates from.
- For a phrase: how many words you have, which are missing or uncertain, and whether it came from Electrum-LTC or a BIP-39 wallet.
- An old receiving address, if you know one. It is public, and it lets us confirm a candidate.
- What happened, and what you have already tried.
Boundaries
What we do not do
Theft, scams or a wrong address
A confirmed blockchain transaction cannot be reversed, cancelled or redirected, by us or by anyone.
A completely lost recovery phrase
With no phrase, wallet file, device, backup or partial information left, there is nothing to reconstruct from.
Guaranteed outcomes
No honest service can guarantee success. Whether recovery is possible depends on what you still have, and the assessment tells you before you commit.
We tell you honestly what is realistic before you commit — including when the answer is no.
How it works
A clear process from first contact to handover.
Tell us what happened
Share the wallet or software name, approximate year, device, problem and what material still exists. Do not send a seed phrase, private key, password, wallet file or ID document.
Initial feasibility view
Once we have enough information, we usually explain the likely recovery route, the main uncertainties and an initial indication of duration.
Verify and agree
We verify identity and ownership or legal authority. Scope, working method, fee and sensitive-material handling are agreed in writing before sensitive work begins.
Transfer or hand over material
PGP, our secure encrypted upload environment, in-person handover or agreed shipment may be used. We request only what is needed and work with copies where possible.
Technical recovery
We test the agreed recovery route in a controlled environment. You receive meaningful updates when findings affect the outlook, scope or next decision.
Client-controlled handover
Access is handed back through the agreed route. You open the wallet and move the assets to a wallet you control; case material is then handled according to the agreement and privacy policy.
Trust
A real company with a verifiable process.
Registered & named
Registered in the Netherlands (KvK 75927276) with a named team and a physical office in Amsterdam.
A written agreement first
Scope, fee and security measures are agreed in writing before any work. If you prefer, we can sign an NDA before you share substantive case details.
Always non-custodial
We restore access; you move the coins yourself. We never hold, manage or transfer your assets.
Ownership is verified
Identity, ownership and legal authority are verified with risk-based KYC/AML checks.
Good to know about Litecoin wallet recovery
- Address types. LTC addresses start with L (legacy), M (P2SH) or ltc1 (bech32), and Litecoin Core 0.15 and earlier used Bitcoin's P2SH prefix, so older P2SH addresses start with 3. Restoring into the wrong address type silently shows a zero balance, so change the address type in the wallet software before assuming the phrase or file is bad. Address types explained
Litecoin wallets we work with
- Litecoin Core, whose desktop program is Litecoin-Qt: the classic wallet.dat cases.
- Electrum-LTC, the community port of Electrum to Litecoin: seeds and wallet files in Electrum's own format.
- Litewallet, formerly Loafwallet: the Litecoin Foundation's mobile wallet.
- Jaxx Liberty: retired in March 2023, still recoverable with the right material, such as the 12-word backup phrase.
- Ledger, Trezor and BitBox: hardware wallets and their recovery phrases.
- Some multi-coin wallets also store LTC, such as Exodus, Coinomi and Trust Wallet.
Litecoin wallet recovery FAQ
Can I recover a Litecoin wallet without the password?
If your wallet has a recovery phrase and you still have it, restoring the phrase gives you access without the old password. Litecoin Core keeps its keys in wallet.dat and has no recovery phrase, so there the password is the only way in, and recovery means a password search against a copy of the file.
Can you help if I have the password but not the wallet file?
Not with the password alone: it decrypts a file, and without that file it opens nothing. If the file was deleted from a drive you still have, that is a different case. With the file gone and no backup anywhere, there is nothing left to recover.
Can you recover Litecoin sent to the wrong address or chain?
We can assess suitable wrong-network cases. What is possible depends on the networks involved and who controls the receiving address. A confirmed transaction cannot be reversed, and we cannot access funds held at an address controlled by someone else.
How long does Litecoin wallet recovery take?
Standard cases take a few days to a few weeks; complex searches can take months. The free assessment tells you what to expect, based on what is missing and what you still have. How long crypto wallet recovery takes
How much does crypto wallet recovery cost?
It depends on the wallet's value and how complex the case is: our success fee runs from 20% of the recovered amount down to 2%. The exact rate is agreed in writing before any work starts — no hidden costs and no hourly rates.
Do you take custody of the assets at any point?
No. We restore access; you open the wallet and move the funds yourself. We cannot initiate a transaction on your behalf.
Do I need to send my seed phrase or password?
No — first contact needs no sensitive material, and we never ask for it through forms or chat. Under a written agreement we can work with copies of wallet files in a controlled environment, so your keys stay under your control.
What if my wallet was stolen or I was scammed?
We do not take stolen-crypto or scam cases, and blockchain transactions cannot be reversed. That is a police and legal matter.
