Buy and Sell BTG

PancakeSwap swaps one token for another from your own wallet. The linked page opens a BTG → USDT swap, which is a sell; reverse the sides to buy.

Before you start

  • A connected wallet on BSC with BNB for gas. See Connect a Wallet.
  • BTG in the wallet for a sell, or USDT (BEP-20) for a buy.
  • The verified contract from Check the BTG Contract.
  • A price impact and slippage limit you understand. Do not confirm a number you have not read.

Sell BTG for USDT

  1. Open the linked swap. The input should be BTG and the output USDT.
  2. Enter the BTG amount. Check the USDT estimate, the price impact, the minimum received, and the network fee.
  3. If this is the first time you sell this token, the wallet asks you to approve BTG. An approval is a separate transaction and costs BNB. Approve only on the official PancakeSwap site.
  4. Confirm the swap in the wallet. Wait for the transaction to confirm.
  5. Check the USDT balance and the transaction hash in the wallet or on BscScan.

Buy BTG with USDT

  1. On the same page, switch the sides: input USDT, output BTG. You can also use the token selector and paste the BTG contract.
  2. Enter the USDT amount. Check the BTG estimate, price impact, minimum received, and fee.
  3. If USDT has not been approved for PancakeSwap, approve it first. This is a separate transaction.
  4. Confirm the swap and wait for confirmation.
  5. Check the BTG balance and confirm the token contract in the wallet matches the address above.

Reading the numbers

  • Price impact: how much your own order moves the pool price. High impact means thin liquidity; a smaller order may be the only sensible choice.
  • Minimum received: the floor after slippage. If the market moves beyond it, the swap reverts and you keep the tokens (minus gas).
  • Slippage tolerance: how much price movement you allow. Setting it very high makes a sandwich attack easier; setting it too low makes the swap fail.
  • Network fee: paid in BNB, not in BTG or USDT. It is separate from the venue fee.

After the trade

  • Revoke the token approval when you are done if you do not plan to trade again. An approval can let the contract spend that token later.
  • Save the transaction hash. A confirmed swap cannot be reversed.
  • For native BTG, use a Bitgold wallet on chain 618; the BSC token is a different asset.

Verify it worked

  • The wallet balance of the output token increased by approximately the quoted amount.
  • The transaction hash resolves on BscScan and shows the swap.
  • The BTG token in the wallet is the contract above.
  • The approval, if any, is for the amount you intended.

Troubleshooting

Problem What to do
The swap reverts The price moved beyond your slippage. Re-quote and try a smaller amount; do not raise slippage blindly.
"Insufficient liquidity" The pool is too thin for that size. Reduce the amount or use another venue.
The approval transaction is pending Wait for it to confirm before swapping. A swap submitted before approval confirms will fail.
The output is much less than expected Check price impact and fees. Cancel before confirming if the numbers are unacceptable.
A site asks for your recovery phrase Close it. A swap never needs a recovery phrase.
