Deposit FIL into GLIF to earn rewards

This guide will show you how to deposit FIL into GLIF, so you can start earning rewards with GLIF.

Step 1: Prepare a wallet with FIL on it

To deposit FIL to GLIF, you first need to choose a wallet that supports FIL. GLIF is compatible with most EVM wallets. You can find more tutorials about wallets here. Make sure to do your own research (DYOR) to select the wallet.

In this tutorial we will use MetaMask, but you can find a similar tutorial using Ledger here.

No matter which wallet you use, always make sure to back up your secret recovery phrase, store it securely, and never share it with anyone. No one from the GLIF team will ever ask you for private keys or seed phrases.

Step 2: Connect your wallet to GLIF

1. Visit the GLIF website and click on ‘Connect Wallet’ in the top right corner.

1. Select the wallet you wish to connect with that is funded with FIL.

Step 2.5: Add the Filecoin network to your wallet (chrome extensions only)

After choosing a Chrome extension wallet (e.g., MetaMask) from the list of wallets, you may see a prompt in your wallet asking you to add the Filecoin network if this is your first time using it.

Step 4: Check your iFIL balance
