How to Purchase Filecoin (FIL) with Stellar (XLM)

To buy Filecoin using Stellar, first, find a cryptocurrency exchange that supports the FIL/XLM trading pair. Create an account, verify your identity, and deposit your XLM into your exchange wallet. Locate the FIL/XLM pair on the trading platform and place an order to exchange your Stellar for Filecoin. If the FIL/XLM pair is unavailable, you can first exchange Stellar for a stablecoin like Tether (USDT) or a fiat currency, then trade that for Filecoin. Be mindful of potential exchange fees, which vary by platform and can affect the total cost of your transaction.
