Filecoin and Ethereum have different address types.

We all know that Filecoin has multiple address spaces on mainnet: f0, f1, f2, f3 and f4. Each address space fits a particular need for the Filecoin network.

From docs.filecoin.io

As you can see, the f410 address allows for the integration of Ethereum addresses on the Filecoin network so that users can interact with the Filecoin EVM.

And this tutorial will explain how to send FIL from a Filecoin-style account to an Ethereum-style address by FoxWallet.

📚 About FoxWallet

FoxWallet is a decentralized mobile wallet, also known as a Self-Custody Wallet. In other words, both the private key and seed phrases will be stored locally, rather than being uploaded to the server. Its seed phrase implements general standards as BIP-32 and SLIP-0044, allowing wallets to support multiple blockchains and achieve compatibility with other wallets (e.g., Metamask and imToken) regarding address and seed phrases. Different from other wallets, we aim to keep supporting novel blockchain projects with mining features, including hardware mining and staking as mining, providing users with safe and stable mobile wallet experience and mining-related tech services.
