Litecoin wallet capabilities

Compare documented features, platform limits and the scope of actual tests. Every entry links to its evidence; unverified features stay unverified.

Documentation checked 24 September 2026. One limited Litecoin Core experiment is available; the other entries are documentation reviews. This is not a security ranking or a recommendation to install an old release.

Desktop full node

Litecoin Core

Documentation + a limited regtest experiment

Version scope: 0.21.5.8 · Checked 2026-09-24

MWEBDocumented
Coin controlAvailable through explicit transaction inputs; the GUI is not tested here
MultisigTested: legacy P2SH, 2-of-3, regtest
Recovery considerationsWallet-file backup. Multisig recovery also needs the script/policy and sufficient signing keys.

The downloadable test covers eight signing-key combinations. It does not test MWEB, GUI recovery or production custody. A full node needs its own storage and synchronization.

Mobile and desktop software wallet

Cake Wallet

Documentation checked; no device test

Version scope: Documentation review; application build not pinned · Checked 2026-09-24

MWEBDocumented on iOS and Android only
Coin controlDocumented for Litecoin
MultisigNot verified for Litecoin in this review
Recovery considerationsDocumentation supports BIP39 and Electrum seed formats; record the selected format and any passphrase.

The Litecoin documentation explicitly excludes MWEB addresses and peg-in/out on desktop. A desktop Litecoin balance is not evidence of desktop MWEB support.

Desktop software wallet

Electrum-LTC

Documentation checked; no application test

Version scope: 4.2.2.1 listed on the project website (5 June 2022) · Checked 2026-09-24

MWEBNot verified in the cited documentation
Coin controlAddress freezing documented; full input-selection workflow not tested
MultisigNot verified in this review
Recovery considerationsElectrum-LTC seed and wallet file. Imported keys can require a separate backup.

The project identifies itself as a community-maintained Electrum port. The cited download page is old; its listed version is not a security recommendation. Check the project and signed release before installation.

Mobile Litecoin wallet

Nexus Wallet

Documentation checked; no device test

Version scope: Documentation review; application build not pinned · Checked 2026-09-24

MWEBPrivate balance and ltcmweb1 addresses documented
Coin controlNot verified in this review
MultisigNot verified in this review
Recovery considerationsNew-wallet guidance describes a 24-word backup. Migration from Litewallet is a separate documented procedure.

The official help center distinguishes regular and private balances. Check the current app and both ends of the payment route; a standard receiving address is not a private MWEB address.

Hardware wallet with companion software

Trezor + Trezor Suite

Documentation checked; no hardware test

Version scope: Documentation review; device, firmware and Suite build not pinned · Checked 2026-09-24

MWEBNot verified for Litecoin in this review
Coin controlLitecoin-specific workflow not verified
MultisigLitecoin-specific workflow not verified
Recovery considerationsDevice and backup format matter; follow the instructions for the exact model and backup type.

Trezor lists native Litecoin support in Suite. That alone does not establish support for MWEB or every advanced Litecoin feature. The documented litecoin: URI handler is desktop-only.

The published Core experiment

Executed on 2026-09-23 UTC using /LitecoinCore:0.21.5.8/ on an isolated regtest network. Eight candidate spends use the same test output. No mainnet funds were used; the candidate spends were checked with testmempoolaccept, not broadcast.

Before choosing or migrating

Check the exact application build, platform and address type. A recovery test must match the actual backup format, passphrase and wallet policy. Never enter recovery words into this comparison page or a support message. For an unfamiliar feature, a documented capability is a starting point for a controlled test, not a guarantee of interoperability.
