The next halving happens at block 3,360,000 — roughly four years after the August 2023 event. The exact date depends on actual block-production speed; this page estimates the ETA from current tip height assuming Litecoin's 2.5-minute average blocks.
Every 840,000 blocks. With 2.5-minute target blocks, that works out to approximately four years — the same calendar cadence as Bitcoin, even though Litecoin produces 4× more blocks per day.
The block reward is cut in half. After the third halving in August 2023, the reward dropped from 12.5 LTC to 6.25 LTC. The fourth halving will drop it to 3.125 LTC.
The countdown assumes 2.5 minutes per block — Litecoin's long-term target. Actual blocks vary; weeks of fast or slow blocks can shift the estimated date by days. The block-height field, by contrast, is exact.
