Connect a Wallet¶
PancakeSwap is a decentralized exchange. You trade from your own wallet, on BNB Smart Chain, and you pay BNB for gas. No account is created and no venue holds your BTG.
Who this is for¶
Users who want to swap BSC BTG without a Binance Alpha account. If you prefer a centralized venue, use Trade on Binance App or Binance Web.
Before you start¶
- A wallet that supports BSC: MetaMask, TokenPocket, or Binance Wallet. See Using a Wallet if you need to add BSC.
- A small amount of BNB for gas. Every swap and approval is a BSC transaction.
- USDT (BEP-20) if you are buying, or BTG if you are selling.
- The verified BTG contract from Check the BTG Contract.
Steps¶
1. Open the official PancakeSwap page¶
Open the PancakeSwap BTG/USDT swap.
The URL carries both contract addresses. Check that the domain is pancakeswap.finance and the BTG side matches the contract above. A search ad or a link from a chat is not a safe entry point.
2. Connect the wallet¶
Select Connect and choose your wallet. Approve the connection in the wallet. Connecting shares your address; it does not grant spending rights.
3. Confirm the network¶
The wallet and PancakeSwap must both be on BNB Smart Chain (BSC), chain ID 56. If the site offers to switch networks, read the request before approving. If the wallet is on another chain, switch it manually and reload.
4. Make BTG visible¶
The swap link should prefill BTG and USDT. If the BTG side shows a different token, paste the contract:
0x4C9027E10c5271Efca82379D3123917AE3F2374e
Confirm the symbol is BTG and the decimals are 18. A token with the same symbol at another address is not this token.
5. Check gas and balances¶
The wallet needs BNB for gas and the input token for the swap. A wallet with BTG but no BNB cannot complete a sell; a wallet with USDT but no BNB cannot complete a buy.
Verify it worked¶
- PancakeSwap shows the connected address and BSC.
- The BTG side shows the contract above, symbol BTG.
- The wallet shows a BNB balance for gas.
- The input token balance matches what you intend to trade.
Troubleshooting¶
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| The wallet will not connect | Unlock it, allow the site in the wallet, and check that it supports BSC. Try a fresh tab. |
| The site shows the wrong network | Switch the wallet to BSC chain 56, then reload the page. Do not approve a network you did not intend. |
| BTG shows a different contract | Remove the token and re-add the verified address. Do not swap a lookalike. |
| "Insufficient BNB for gas" | Add a small amount of BNB to the wallet. Gas cannot be paid in BTG or USDT. |
| A pop-up offers to "fix" the connection | Close it. Use only the wallet's own connection prompt and the official site. |
Next step¶
Buy and Sell BTG on PancakeSwap — swap, approve, and confirm.
