Other Filecoin Launch Questions

When will additional trading pairs be added for FIL?

FIL/UDST will launch shortly after the FIL/USD orderbook has matured. This may occur anywhere between several hours and several days. We will announce the launch of FIL/USDT via email. 


When does FIL trading start?

Filecoin trading on CoinList will start after mainnet launch, currently scheduled for 10/15/2020. The estimate for mainnet launch is on block 148,888 which would happen at approximately 10:30 AM PDT. Trading will commence in 3 phases: 


Pre-orders • Open Now


  • Users can now place FIL-USD pre-orders on CoinList Pro. Prior to mainnet launch, users can only place buy pre-orders with USD.
  • No trade matching will occur during this phase, but at the end of this phase, pre-orders will be considered firm and may be executed when live trading begins.
  • Users will be able to enter, modify and cancel orders, but will not be able to see other users’ bids and offers. 
  • The pre-order phase will last until there is sufficient order book depth for price discovery and trading stability.
  • CoinList will notify users approximately 30-minutes before the end of pre-orders.


Opening Price Calculation • Projected start Thursday 10:15 AM PDT


  • After the pre-order phase, the FIL-USD order book on CoinList Pro will be frozen. Users will no longer be able to enter any new orders or cancel existing orders. 
  • CoinList will calculate the opening price at which most orders can be filled.
  • Buy orders at or above the opening price and sell orders at or below the opening price from the pre-order phase will be settled on the basis of price-time priority at the opening price.


Live Trading • Projected start Thursday 10:30 AM PDT


  • Once the opening price is calculated, regular trading will be available for FIL-USD on CoinList Pro with full order book and trade matching. 
  • All order types will be accepted and immediately settled.
  • CoinList will display the aggregate volume for successful trades.


Soon after live FIL-USD trading stabilizes on CoinList Pro, we will list FIL-USDT. Also, we will open trading on CoinList.co and CoinList Mobile. 


The above timelines are all subject to change to ensure the safety and security of customer funds. CoinList will alert you via email as services become available or if there are significant delays to the above schedule. 




Are there any limits on order sizes on launch?

No, there are no limits to the order sizes that you may place during the auction or during regular trading. You must have available FIL or USD in CoinList Pro to place an order.
