Exchange in 3 steps
-

Transfer FIL to the address on your order — after confirmations, XLM is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Deposits on Filecoin mainnet follow that chain's confirmation times.
- Network congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Send only FIL on Filecoin mainnet to the address on your order page.
- XLM not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Filecoin
Always match FIL on Filecoin mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports Filecoin mainnet.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your wallet.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
XLM not visible yet?
Resync your Stellar wallet. If the order shows a sent transaction, verify the address and memo match your wallet.
When will XLM arrive?
Stellar settlements are usually very quick once your deposit confirms.
- Check Stellar Expert or a similar explorer with the payout tx hash.
- Confirm whether your wallet needs a destination memo for incoming funds.
- Keep a small XLM reserve if your wallet requires a minimum balance.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap FIL to XLM?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Filecoin to Stellar swaps.
How long does FIL to XLM take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Filecoin mainnet and Stellar mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is FIL to XLM non-custodial?
Yes. You send FIL from your wallet and receive XLM directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send FIL on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Filecoin mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
