Litecoin 3 ↔ M

Litecoin script addresses used the same 3… form as Bitcoin until Litecoin introduced M…. Both encode the same script hash; only the version byte differs (0x05 and 0x32).

What cannot be converted

An ltc1… address is native SegWit, a different address type. It has no 3… or M… spelling, and no tool can produce one. An L… address is P2PKH and also has no 3… or M… form.

A 3… string is also a valid Bitcoin address. Converting it only makes sense when it was given as a Litecoin address.

A valid format does not mean the address belongs to the right person. It only means the address is well-formed. Compare the whole address with the source and send a small test amount first.

FAQ

Is a Litecoin 3 address the same as the M address?

Yes, when it is the same script hash: the converter shows the pair. Coins sent to either reach the same script.

Can I convert ltc1 to M?

No. ltc1 is a different address type, not another spelling.
