Litecoin finality time
As of October 25, 2026, Litecoin finality time is 29.5 min at the median (p50, 24h window), with 40.0 min at p90 and 50.0 min at p99. Litecoin ranks #11 of 12 chains measured on this benchmark.
Litecoin is a probabilistic chain with a 2.5-minute target block interval. Finality is set by convention at 12 confirmations, giving 29.5 min (p50, 24h). Twelve, not the older 6: the 13-block MWEB reorg of April 2026 made 6 unsafe, and 12 is the deposit floor exchanges moved to. Measured like Bitcoin, on our own clock: the harness polls the tip height (`getblockcount` on Tatum's public JSON-RPC) every 30 seconds, T1 when a block first appears at the tip, T2 when the tip is 12 blocks past it. Block intervals are Poisson, so the wait varies widely around the 30-minute expectation.
