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.

ZEC

What is Zcash?

Zcash (ZEC) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that pioneered the use of zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) in blockchain technology. Unlike Monero where privacy is mandatory, Zcash gives users the choice between transparent transactions (publicly visible, like Bitcoin) and shielded transactions (fully private — hiding sender, receiver, and amount). This flexibility lets Zcash users choose a shielded transfer when they want privacy and a transparent one when they do not. ZEC has been instrumental in advancing cryptographic research that now underpins many Layer 2 scaling solutions.

Why Swap FIL for ZEC?

Swapping Filecoin to Zcash on GhostSwap moves your funds into a privacy coin without KYC or account creation. Filecoin is transparent: transactions are public on Filfox.

Shield your financial activity

Zcash privacy is optional: it supports both transparent (public) and shielded (fully private) transactions via zk-SNARKs. Use the private option in your wallet to keep balances and payments out of public view.

No account linking the two coins

Your FIL history stays public on the Filecoin blockchain. The ZEC arrives at your transparent Zcash address, and your wallet can then move it into the shielded pool, where amounts and addresses are hidden. A no-KYC swap adds no account or ID linking the two.

Low fees on the Zcash network

Zcash fees are minimal, making ZEC practical for regular private transactions, not just large transfers.

No identity verification required

GhostSwap processes your FIL to ZEC swap without KYC, sign-ups, or personal data collection. The FIL you send is still visible on the Filecoin blockchain; the privacy starts once the ZEC is in your wallet.

Exchange FIL for ZEC on GhostSwap with no account and no sign-up. Most swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes after you send your FIL.

FIL to ZEC: questions and answers

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

How long does it take to swap FIL to ZEC on GhostSwap?
Most FIL to ZEC swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the FIL deposit needs a few minutes to confirm on Filecoin, then the ZEC is sent to your wallet, and Zcash confirms the payout in about 10–20 minutes. Busy networks can add a few minutes.
How much is 1 FIL in ZEC?
1 FIL is worth about 0.000855 ZEC at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 8 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the ZEC network fee. The minimum for this pair is about 29 FIL. The rate floats with the market until your FIL deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send.
Do I need KYC or an account to exchange FIL to ZEC?
No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Zcash address that should receive the ZEC, send FIL from your own wallet, and the ZEC goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.
What are the fees for converting Filecoin to Zcash?
The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the ZEC 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 ZEC?
To receive Zcash from your swap, we recommend using Zodl (formerly Zashi), Zkool or Zingo. All three can move ZEC into the shielded pool. Make sure your wallet supports the Zcash network before starting the exchange. Double-check your ZEC address before confirming, cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.
What format is the ZEC address?
Use a Zcash address: it starts with t1 or t3 for a transparent address. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand.
Can I track my FIL to ZEC 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) and your incoming ZEC on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash).
Is it safe to exchange FIL for ZEC on GhostSwap?
GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your FIL deposit is converted and the ZEC is sent straight to the Zcash address you enter, so check that address twice, Zcash transfers cannot be reversed.
Can my FIL to ZEC 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 ZEC arrives in your wallet, Zcash privacy is optional: it supports both transparent (public) and shielded (fully private) transactions via zk-SNARKs. By swapping FIL to ZEC on a no-KYC exchange like GhostSwap, there is no account linking the two transactions together.
How does a cross-chain FIL to ZEC swap work?
Filecoin lives on Filecoin and Zcash on Zcash, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your FIL on Filecoin and pays native ZEC on Zcash, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.
Is it legal to own and swap Zcash?
In most countries, yes: owning and swapping Zcash is not banned, although some centralized exchanges have stopped listing privacy coins in certain regions. Privacy is a legitimate need, and using privacy-enhancing tools is not illegal in itself. You are responsible for following the cryptocurrency rules where you live.
What happens if my FIL to ZEC 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.
