Add a Custom Token

After adding Bitgold Mainnet, the extension shows the native BTG. This page imports a token issued on Bitgold by its contract address.

Who this is for

Extension users who received a token that does not appear automatically. Skip this page for BTG itself: BTG is the native coin of chain 618, not a token.

Before you start

  • The token's contract address from the issuer's official site or documentation. A chat message or a "support" account is not a source.
  • The symbol and precision from the same source. The extension can parse them from the contract, but you should still compare.
  • Bitgold Mainnet selected, with the account you intend to use.

Steps

1. Open the token list

Open the extension, go to the Tokens area of the account view, and choose Import tokens. The control may sit under a three-dot menu in some versions.

2. Choose a custom token

Select Custom token rather than a suggested token. A suggested list is convenient, but a contract you did not verify is not a recommendation.

3. Select Bitgold and paste the address

Choose Bitgold Mainnet as the network, then paste the contract address. Compare the full address with your official source character by character. A copycat contract can use the same name and symbol.

4. Check symbol and precision

The extension should fill the token symbol and decimals from the contract. If either differs from the official source, stop: the address may belong to a different contract.

5. Import and open the token

Select Import or Add token, then open the token in the list and confirm the contract address. Importing is a display action: it sends no transaction, spends no gas, and does not create value.

Verify it worked

  • The token appears under the account with the expected symbol and amount.
  • The contract address matches your official source exactly.
  • The token's page on www.bitgold.live lists the same contract and balance for your address.
  • Switching accounts hides the token, because tokens are tracked per account.

Troubleshooting

Problem What to do
The token does not appear Confirm Bitgold Mainnet is selected and the contract exists on chain 618. A testnet token will not appear on mainnet.
Symbol or precision differs Remove the token and re-add the verified address. Matching letters do not prove the same contract.
A token you never bought appears Anyone can send a token to any address. Do not open links in its name, trade it, or approve it; see Fake Token Scam.
The import button stays disabled The address may be invalid for the selected network. Recheck the address and the network.
The balance shows but the token cannot be sold The contract may block transfers or charge a tax. Treat it as a fake until the issuer's official documentation proves otherwise.
