No. There is no sign-up, no email and no ID check. You only enter the address where you want to receive your coins.

You need a XMR address from a wallet you control. It starts with 4 or 8 and is 95 characters long. The form checks the format before you can start the swap.
What is the minimum LTC amount?
The minimum changes with network fees and is shown under the amount field as soon as you type. Amounts below it cannot be swapped.
What if the swap fails?
