From buying and staking FIL to ecosystem and latest updates.
You can buy FIL on major exchanges such as Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken. Always enable two-factor authentication, and consider transferring FIL to a self-custody wallet rather than leaving it on an exchange. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see our How to Buy Filecoin guide.
Filecoin staking, also known as FIL leasing, involves providing FIL tokens to storage providers so they can use it as collateral. In return, token holders may receive rewards. Options include FVM-based DeFi protocols, non-FVM multi-signature projects, and centralized platforms. Learn more in our How to Stake Filecoin guide.
Some exchanges do not yet support direct transfers to 0x/f410 addresses. If you encounter errors, use an intermediary f1 address or follow Filecoin TL;DR’s step-by-step transfer guide.
FVM staking carries smart contract risks, non-FVM staking requires trust in operators, and centralized staking involves custody risk. Research providers carefully, diversify across options, and never stake more than you can afford to lose. For deeper insights, check the Filecoin Staking section.
