About Filecoin
Filecoin is a decentralized storage network that allows anyone to rent out unused hard drive space and earn FIL tokens, or pay with FIL to store files on the network. Developed by Protocol Labs (the team behind IPFS), Filecoin creates a marketplace for storage where clients pay storage miners to store their data. Unlike centralized cloud services (AWS, Google Cloud), Filecoin is censorship-resistant, open, and verifiable. It's used for storing NFT metadata, scientific data, archival content, and Web3 applications.

How to Swap FIL
Exchanging Filecoin (FIL) on SyntheticSwap requires no account creation or identity documents. Open SyntheticSwap, choose FIL as your source or target coin, provide your destination wallet address, and review the floating rate displayed. After sending FIL from your personal wallet to the deposit address, the swap processes automatically and your chosen asset is delivered directly to your wallet. SyntheticSwap never holds your funds at any point during the process.
How to Store FIL
Filecoin FIL can be stored in several wallets. Lotus is the official Filecoin node software with a built-in wallet. Glif Wallet is a popular lightweight web wallet for FIL storage. The FilSnap MetaMask plugin allows Ethereum MetaMask users to manage FIL directly. Ledger hardware wallets support FIL for cold storage security.
