Most BTC to FIL swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the BTC deposit needs 10–30 minutes (1–3 confirmations) to confirm on Bitcoin, then the FIL is sent to your wallet, and Filecoin confirms the payout in a few minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 BTC in FIL? 1 BTC is worth about 81,968.69 FIL at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 4 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the FIL network fee. The rate floats with the market until your BTC deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send. ### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange BTC to FIL? No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Filecoin address that should receive the FIL, send BTC from your own wallet, and the FIL goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload. ### What are the fees for converting Bitcoin 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 Bitcoin network fee for your deposit is paid in BTC 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. Double-check your FIL address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the FIL address? Use a Filecoin address: it usually starts with f1. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. ### Can I track my BTC to FIL swap? Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your BTC payment on mempool.space (https://mempool.space) and your incoming FIL on Filfox (https://filfox.info). ### Is it safe to exchange BTC for FIL on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your BTC 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 BTC to FIL swap work? Bitcoin lives on Bitcoin and Filecoin on Filecoin, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your BTC on Bitcoin and pays native FIL on Filecoin, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my BTC to FIL exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the BTC is refunded to the Bitcoin 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 BTC](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/fil-btc/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/fil-btc.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)
