# Filecoin to Monero (FIL to XMR): no-KYC swap on GhostSwap

> Send Filecoin (FIL) and receive Monero (XMR) in your own wallet, with no account and no KYC. Monero hides the sender, receiver and amount of every transfer, so the XMR you receive has no public link to your FIL history. Most FIL to XMR swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes.

## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap FIL to XMR on GhostSwap?

Most FIL to XMR swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the FIL deposit needs a few minutes to confirm on Filecoin, then the XMR is sent to your wallet, and Monero confirms the payout in about 20 minutes (10 confirmations). Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange FIL to XMR?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Monero address that should receive the XMR, send FIL from your own wallet, and the XMR goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.

### What are the fees for converting Filecoin to Monero?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the XMR amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Filecoin network fee for your deposit is paid in FIL by your wallet.

### What wallet should I use to receive XMR?

To receive Monero from your swap, we recommend using Feather, Cake Wallet or Monero GUI. MetaMask and other Ethereum wallets do not support Monero. Make sure your wallet supports the Monero network before starting the exchange. Double-check your XMR address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the XMR address?

Use a Monero address: it is 95 characters and starts with 4 (standard) or 8 (subaddress). Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.

### Can I track my FIL to XMR 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 FIL payment on Filfox (https://filfox.info).

### Is it safe to exchange FIL for XMR on GhostSwap?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your FIL deposit is converted and the XMR is sent straight to the Monero address you enter, so check that address twice, Monero transfers cannot be reversed.

### Can my FIL to XMR swap be traced?

Your FIL transaction to GhostSwap is visible on the Filecoin blockchain since Filecoin is transparent: transactions are public on Filfox. However, once your XMR arrives in your wallet, Monero is private by default: ring signatures, stealth addresses and RingCT hide the sender, the receiver and the amount of every transaction. By swapping FIL to XMR on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.

### How does a cross-chain FIL to XMR swap work?

Filecoin lives on Filecoin and Monero on Monero, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your FIL on Filecoin and pays native XMR on Monero, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### What happens if my FIL to XMR exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the FIL is refunded to the Filecoin 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.
