DEGEN

What is Degen?

Degen (DEGEN) is a term commonly used in the crypto community to refer to high-risk, high-reward investments. A token named DEGEN may be associated with projects that embrace this culture. Due to the speculative nature, users should exercise caution and conduct thorough research.

FIL

What is Filecoin?

Filecoin (FIL) is a decentralized storage network that allows anyone to rent out unused hard drive space and earn FIL tokens in return. Built by Protocol Labs (the team behind IPFS), Filecoin creates a marketplace for storage where prices are determined by supply and demand rather than corporate pricing. FIL is used to pay for storage, retrieve data, and participate in the network's proof-of-replication and proof-of-spacetime consensus mechanisms.

DEGEN to FIL: questions and answers

Everything you need to know about exchanging DEGEN to FIL on GhostSwap.

How long does it take to swap DEGEN to FIL on GhostSwap?
Most DEGEN to FIL swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the DEGEN deposit needs about a minute to confirm on Base, then the FIL is sent to your wallet, and Filecoin confirms the payout in a few minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange DEGEN to FIL?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Filecoin address that should receive the FIL, send DEGEN 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 Degen 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, your wallet needs a little ETH on Base to pay the Base network fee for sending DEGEN.
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 DEGEN 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 DEGEN payment on BaseScan (https://basescan.org) and your incoming FIL on Filfox (https://filfox.info).
Is it safe to exchange DEGEN for FIL on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your DEGEN 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 DEGEN to FIL swap work?
Degen lives on Base and Filecoin on Filecoin, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your DEGEN on Base and pays native FIL on Filecoin, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
What happens if my DEGEN to FIL exchange fails?
If a swap cannot be completed, the DEGEN is refunded to the Base 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.
