ALGO to FIL: questions and answers
How do I swap ALGO to FIL without KYC?
Enter the ALGO amount on this page, paste your FIL address and send your ALGO to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and it routes your swap through exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The FIL is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the ALGO 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 ALGO to FIL rate for the amount you enter.
What are the minimum and maximum for ALGO to FIL?
The minimum is about 38.2 ALGO and the maximum about 11,929,882 ALGO. 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 ALGO to FIL swap take?
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your ALGO deposit to confirm on Algorand, which takes a few seconds. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping ALGO 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 Algorand 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 ALGO 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 Algorand network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap FIL back to ALGO?
Yes. The reverse direction, FIL to ALGO, 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.
