Transfer Between 0x and f1

FoxWallet is a decentralized, multi-chain wallet with full support for Filecoin. It integrates with the Filecoin Ethereum Virtual Machine (FEVM), allowing users to easily transfer FIL to and from f4 address without manual setup. This guide explains how to transfer FIL using FoxWallet.

FoxWallet uses Filecoin's built-in FilFowarder, a smart contract that lets users transfer FIL from an Ethereum-based f4 address to a Filecoin address of a different type. To use FoxWallet, you must set up and configure FoxWallet before beginning the transfer process, described below.

Setup and configuration​

  1. Download FoxWallet.
  2. Open the FoxWallet application.
  3. For the purpose of this tutorial, select Create wallet to create a new wallet. Alternatively, select Import wallet to import an existing wallet.
  4. Set password.
  5. Backup seed phrase, note the terms and the order in which they appear.
  6. Click "Receive" and select network, you can find Filecoin and Filecoin EVM out there. The Filecoin network uses the f1 address, while Filecoin EVM uses the Ethereum-style 0x address.

Transfer​

  1. Go to the "Wallet" page. Choose Filecoin network.
  2. Click "Receive" to get your f1 address. FIL can be transferred to this address via exchange withdrawals, or other tools that support f1 address.
  3. Switch to the Filecoin EVM network. Click "Receive" to get your Ethereum-style 0x address, copy it.
  4. Back to the Filecoin network in FoxWallet. Click "Send" and paste your Ethereum-style 0x address in the blank.
  5. Input the amount of FIL you’d like to transfer and then click "Confirm", check out your account later.
  6. Reverse the steps 2,3,4 if you would like to transfer FIL from 0x(f4) to f1.
