Send and Receive BTG

Receiving is free. Sending costs gas in BTG. Both depend on the network selected in the extension header.

Who this is for

Extension users who already added Bitgold Mainnet. If the network is missing, start with Add Bitgold Network .

Before you start

  • Bitgold Mainnet selected, with the account you intend to use.
  • For sending: a small BTG balance for gas and the recipient's Bitgold address.
  • The recipient's network confirmed. The same 0x address format exists on several EVM chains; the selected network is what makes it Bitgold.

Receive BTG

  1. Open the extension and select Bitgold Mainnet in the network selector.
  2. Choose Receive.
  3. Select BTG and Bitgold Mainnet if the extension asks for a network.
  4. Copy the address or share the QR code. Check that the screen says Bitgold Mainnet before you share it.
  5. Ask the sender to send a small test amount first. When it arrives, send the rest.

A wallet address is not an exchange deposit address. If you are withdrawing from Binance, use the withdrawal page's network selector and choose Bitgold Mainnet; a mismatch can lose the withdrawal.

Send BTG

  1. Select Bitgold Mainnet, then choose Send.
  2. Select BTG and confirm the network in the send flow.
  3. Paste the recipient's address and compare the full value with your source. Do not copy from transaction history.
  4. Enter the amount and leave enough BTG for gas. The fee is paid in BTG.
  5. Review the address, network, amount, and fee, then confirm in the extension.
  6. Check the transaction hash on www.bitgold.live.

If the extension warns that the address is high risk, stop and verify the destination independently. A confirmed transfer cannot be reversed.

Verify it worked

  • The receiving wallet shows the expected BTG amount.
  • The transaction hash opens on the Bitgold explorer with the same sender, recipient, and amount.
  • The extension's activity shows Bitgold Mainnet, not another chain.
  • The remaining balance is enough for future gas.

Troubleshooting

Problem What to do
The recipient sees nothing Give them the hash and confirm Bitgold Mainnet was selected. If the hash exists, the transfer is on chain.
The send button is disabled Check the amount against the balance minus gas, and confirm the correct network and account.
The fee looks high Gas depends on network conditions. Wait and retry later instead of approving a fee you do not recognize.
The address is flagged as high risk Stop and verify it with the recipient through a channel you already had.
The funds went to another network See Sent on the Wrong Network? . Do not send more funds to unlock them.
