Add Bitgold Network

This page adds Bitgold Mainnet to the browser extension. The values are the same as in the app, but the extension keeps its own network list, so you may need to add Bitgold in both places.

Who this is for

Users of the Binance Wallet Extension on a desktop browser. If you use the mobile app, follow Add Bitgold Network .

Before you start

  • Binance Wallet Extension version 1.5.0 or later. The custom-network feature is not available in older builds.
  • A wallet that opens and is backed up inside the extension. See Binance Extension Wallet.
  • The five values below. The extension can parse name, chain ID, and symbol from the RPC URL, but you still have to check them.

Network fields

Field Value
RPC URL https://mainnet1.bitgold.network
Network name Bitgold Mainnet
Chain ID 618
Symbol BTG
Block explorer URL (optional) https://www.bitgold.live

Steps

1. Open the custom network tab

Click the network selector in the top-right corner of the extension, then open the Custom tab. If no custom network exists yet, the tab offers Add Custom Network.

2. Add the network

Paste https://mainnet1.bitgold.network as the RPC URL. The extension can fill the network name, chain ID, and symbol from the endpoint. Confirm that the chain ID is 618 and the symbol is BTG before saving.

Enter Bitgold Mainnet as the name and https://www.bitgold.live as the explorer. The explorer is optional for the connection but needed for the links.

3. Save and accept the warning

Click Save and confirm the risk warning. Binance Wallet does not verify custom networks; a malicious RPC endpoint can report a false balance or withhold a transaction. Use only the official endpoint.

4. Select Bitgold

Open Switch Network again and choose Bitgold Mainnet from the Custom list. The extension's asset view should switch to BTG.

What is shared between app and extension

  • Network profiles are not shared. Adding Bitgold in the extension does not add it to the app, and vice versa.
  • Reinstalling clears the profile. If you uninstall the extension, you will need to restore the wallet and add the custom network again.
  • The Chain ID cannot be edited later. You can change the RPC URL of an existing custom network, but not its chain ID. If the chain ID is wrong, delete the profile and add it again.
  • A network in use cannot be deleted. Disconnect dApps or switch to another network first.

Verify it worked

  • The extension header shows Bitgold Mainnet and chain ID 618.
  • The account shows BTG, and the same address on www.bitgold.live shows the same balance.
  • The explorer link opens your address, not a different chain.
  • Switching to Ethereum and back to Bitgold keeps the same address.

Troubleshooting

Problem What to do
The Custom tab is missing Update the extension to 1.5.0 or later and reopen it.
"Chain ID already exists" A network with 618 is already configured. Edit that entry instead of adding another.
"Invalid RPC URL" Check https://, the mainnet1 spelling, and trailing spaces. Try mainnet2 through mainnet6.
The extension says the RPC is risky Its safety check rejected the endpoint. Use the official endpoint; do not accept a replacement from a third party.
The app has Bitgold but the extension does not This is expected. Add the network separately in the extension.
A dApp offers to add a network Read the chain ID and RPC in the request and compare them with the table before confirming. A dApp can request any network.
