Bolster Your Mining Business

CoinList is committed to growing the Filecoin ecosystem in a sustainable way and we believe that Filecoin storage miners are a key component to Filecoin's success. Miners that are looking to add additional storage space to the network need FIL as working capital to scale up their operations. However, buying FIL on the open market can expose miners to considerable price risk. 

CoinList allows Filecoin storage miners to borrow FIL at a fixed rate for a set duration of time, usually 180 days. This allows miners to procure more FIL to add more storage space and grow their business without exposing themselves to price risk. 

To participate, miners need to verify their identity and review + agree to CoinList's borrowing agreement. Once a miner has completed onboarding, CoinList will reach out to learn more about their borrowing needs and how we can best serve them.

Borrowing from CoinList


Once the borrower has completed onboarding, here are the steps to procure a loan

  • Reach out to lend@coinlist.co to discuss the terms for your loan 
  • Set up a direct line of communication between the Borrower's team and the CoinList team. We usually use Telegram, WeChat, Slack, and/or email 
  • Once Borrower and CoinList agree to the terms of the loan, CoinList will send over a termsheet to be signed via DocuSign to finalize the loan 
On the loan start date, here are the order of operations:

  • Borrower specifies which asset(s) they will be using for collateral 
  • CoinList provides an exact amount of the asset(s) needed to secure the loan 
  • Borrower deposits collateral into their CoinList Wallet 
  • CoinList moves the collateral deposited by the borrower to a wallet controlled by CoinList 
  • CoinList delivers the borrowed amount to the Borrower's CoinList account where they will be able to withdraw 


Interest Payments


Interest payments are due at the end of each month. When you initiate a loan, CoinList will take the first month’s interest payment upon delivery of the loan. All interest payments will take the following process:On the loan start date, here are the order of operations:

  • CoinList will send end-of-month statements outlining all active loans, expired loans, previous interest payments, and outstanding interest payments to borrowers. 
  • Borrower sends the amount of interest due to CoinList by depositing it into their CoinList account 
  • CoinList will move the interest payment once it arrives 


Margin Calls 


When finalizing your loan, CoinList will outline a lower bound and an upper bound for your collateral ratio. If your collateral ratio falls below the lower bound, we will message you to deposit additional collateral. We will not automatically liquidate your collateral – we intend to build long-term relationships with all of our borrowers and we will work with you when you need to post additional collateral. You can post additional collateral by simply depositing assets into your CoinList account. 

If your collateral rises above the upper bound, we will message you and return your extra collateral to your CoinList wallet. From there, you will have control of your assets.
