**Step 2) Transfer assets to Filecoin-EVM**

Currently, there are different prefixes . The addresses used in the Filecoin-EVM ecosystem start with F4 or 0X. You can view the corresponding addresses in "MetaMask" or "Block Explorer"

* To view Filecoin deposit addresses, copy your MetaMask public address and search the address on an explorer. Here FilFox is shown as an example.
