No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Algorand to Filecoin? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the FIL amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Algorand network fee for your deposit is paid in ALGO by your wallet. ### What wallet should I use to receive FIL? To receive Filecoin from your swap, we recommend using Ledger or Glif. Make sure your wallet supports the Filecoin network before starting the exchange.

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ALGO deposit is converted and the FIL is sent straight to the Filecoin address you enter, so check that address twice, Filecoin transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain ALGO to FIL swap work? Algorand lives on Algorand and Filecoin on Filecoin, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ALGO on Algorand and pays native FIL on Filecoin, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my ALGO to FIL exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the ALGO is refunded to the Algorand address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network. ## Related - [Reverse: FIL to ALGO](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/fil-algo/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/fil-algo.md)) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
