BCH to FIL at a glance
Bitcoin Cash and Filecoin live on different blockchains, and this swap uses the native assets on both, with no bridge contract and no wrapped token. The exchange receives BCH on Bitcoin Cash and pays out FIL on Filecoin.
Your FIL is paid on Filecoin. Use an address that starts with f1. If your wallet or exchange gave you a memo, enter it as well; for a personal wallet it can usually be left empty.

BCH to FIL: questions and answers
How do I swap BCH to FIL without KYC?
Enter the BCH amount on this page, choose an offer, paste your FIL address and send your BCH to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and by default it only shows exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The FIL is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the BCH to FIL exchange rate?
The rate moves with the market every few seconds and depends on the amount. The calculator at the top of this page requests live quotes from 20+ exchanges and shows the best current BCH to FIL rate for the amount you enter.
What are the minimum and maximum for BCH to FIL?
The minimum is about 0.0147 BCH and the maximum about 4,580 BCH. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
How long does a BCH to FIL swap take?
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your BCH deposit to confirm on Bitcoin Cash, which takes about 10-20 minutes. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping BCH to FIL anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Bitcoin Cash and Filecoin are public ledgers, though, so the transactions themselves are visible on-chain. For on-chain privacy, swap into a privacy coin such as Monero.
Which FIL address should I use?
Your FIL is paid on Filecoin. Use an address that starts with f1. If your wallet or exchange gave you a memo, enter it as well; for a personal wallet it can usually be left empty. Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
What fees are included in the BCH to FIL rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Filecoin network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own Bitcoin Cash network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap FIL back to BCH?
Yes. The reverse direction, FIL to BCH, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
