No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Filecoin address that should receive the FIL, send USDC 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 USD Coin 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 to pay the Ethereum network fee for sending USDC. ### What wallet should I use to receive FIL?
