Other Fil Lending Questions

Can I participate with unvested FIL?

You are only able to participate with vested FIL in the lending program. If you have additional FIL that is set to vest before the deadline,you may submit more loans as more FIL becomes vested.  Please visit our Help Center if you have additional questions. 


What assets can I use to participate in FIL Lending?

To participate, you must lend FIL to CoinList to participate. If you do not have FIL and would like to participate, you can purchase FIL on CoinList or CoinList Pro with USD, USDT, USDC, BTC, and/or ETH. 


When will I receive my funds back?

Here is the timeline for the 37th FIL Lending Program through CoinList:


April 12, 2023: Lending period opens 

May 1, 2023, 9:00 am PST: Lending period deadline 

May 1, 2023: Loan start date 

October 28, 2023: Principal + interest distributed back into CoinList wallets unless terminated at an earlier date


Lending will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Earlier loans will be prioritized over later loans. CoinList may close the loan period early based on lender demand. Once your loan has started, you will not be able to access that FIL until loan maturity. 

How is my FIL being lent out?

Your FIL is being lent out to trusted Filecoin network participants that have successfully onboarded with CoinList. This includes, but is not limited to, Filecoin storage miners and liquidity providers. 


All counterparties must pass KYC/AML and all loans issued are collateralized. 


What is the minimum loan size to participate?

5 or 100 FIL depending on the program.

Who is eligible to participate in FIL Lending?

All users from CoinList's supported jurisdictions, except residents of Belarus and Venezuela.


Users from certain unsupported jurisdictions can still participate but it requires a manual process to execute the loan. For that reason, we require external FIL lenders to lend a minimum of $50k worth of FIL. 


If you're in an unsupported jurisdiction and would like to participate, please email charlie@coinlist.co
