Check the BTG Contract

Every trade in this chapter starts with one check: is this the right contract on the right chain? A token name and symbol are not unique, so the address is the only reliable identifier.

The contract

Field Value
Network BNB Smart Chain (BSC), chain ID 56
Contract 0x4C9027E10c5271Efca82379D3123917AE3F2374e
Explorer BscScan token page
On-chain name Bitgold
Symbol BTG
Decimals 18

The name, symbol, and decimals above were read from the contract itself. CoinMarketCap lists the same contract under Openverse Network (BTG); the listing name and the on-chain name do not have to match.

How to verify it

  1. Open the BscScan token page. Check that the address bar contains the full contract and that the page shows BSC.
  2. Open Read Contract and call name, symbol, and decimals. They should return Bitgold, BTG, and 18. If the page offers a different name or symbol, stop.
  3. Compare the contract with the address on the venue's own page. On Binance Alpha, the URL contains the contract; on PancakeSwap, the token selector shows it. Do not rely on a screenshot.
  4. If you are importing the token into a wallet, paste the contract and check the symbol and decimals the wallet reads back.
  5. Save the verified address somewhere you can compare against later. Do not copy it from a chat message.

Red flags

  • A "BTG" token at a different contract address, especially one promoted in a DM or a comment.
  • A token page that shows the right name but a different chain, such as Ethereum or a testnet.
  • A venue link that asks you to "sync", "validate", or "unlock" a wallet before trading.
  • A contract address that differs by one character from the one above. Compare in groups of four, not just the first and last characters.
  • A token whose decimals are not 18 when the venue expects the BSC BTG token.

If you already traded the wrong token

A swap is final. If you bought a copycat token, you can usually sell only if a liquidity pool exists; a fake token often has no exit. Do not pay a "recovery" service. Report the token to the venue and keep the transaction hash.
