How to sell Ethereum ETH with Bitget Wallet

  1. Download and open the Bitget Wallet app, and ensure your account holds eth Ethereum ETH tokens.
  2. Swap eth Ethereum ETH tokens for USDT or USDC on Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Base, or the TRON network.
    1. Select the token to sell: Open the [Trade] page, navigate to the [Cross-Chain Swap] section, select the token you wish to sell along with its network (e.g., Ethereum ETH on the eth chain), and enter the amount.
    2. Select the token to buy: Choosing a token on the same chain (e.g., USDTUSDC on Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Base, or Tron) constitutes a same-chain trade, whereas choosing a token on a different chain constitutes a cross-chain trade. Gas fees for cross-chain trades are typically higher than those for same-chain trades.
    3. Review trade details: The system will display the amount of the target token you can receive based on real-time prices. You can view the current slippage and price impact (factors that affect the final amount of tokens received) and check or modify the destination address (defaulting to your current wallet address).
    4. Set appropriate slippage: Slippage refers to the difference between the quoted price at the time of your order and the actual execution price. If slippage is set too low during periods of high price volatility or low liquidity, the trade may fail. It is recommended to use the suggested "Smart Slippage" setting to ensure a smooth transaction process.
    5. Confirm Gas fees: Click [Confirm] to view the estimated Gas fee for the transaction. If your balance is insufficient, follow the on-screen instructions to deposit the necessary native network coin to cover the fee.
    6. Confirm the transaction: Click [Confirm] again on the transaction details page to submit the order and wait for on-chain confirmation. Please note that transactions cannot be cancelled once confirmed, and gas fees will be deducted even if the transaction fails. Carefully review the transaction details; once verified, click [Confirm] to submit the order and wait for the on-chain confirmation result. Please note that transactions cannot be cancelled after confirmation, and gas fees (network service fees) will be deducted even if the transaction fails.

What are common reasons for a failed transaction?

1. Gas fee is insufficient or set too low, so validators don't process it. 2. Insufficient wallet balance. 3. Network congestion, causing long processing delays.

What should I do when a transaction fails?

Insufficient gas: Top up native tokens, increase the gas fee, or use Bitget Wallet's GetGas service. Insufficient balance: Add funds and resend. Network congestion: Increase the gas fee for higher priority, or wait and try again. For more issues, contact customer support and provide the transaction hash (viewable on a block explorer).

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

For many blockchain networks, the first swap requires a token approval transaction, which authorizes the smart contract to access your tokens.

Yes. Blockchain network fees are charged for processing transactions, even if the swap ultimately fails.

Depending on available liquidity, you can swap Ethereum ETH for USDT, USDC, ETH, BNB, SOL, or other supported cryptocurrencies.

The easiest method is to use Bitget Wallet's Cross-Chain Swap feature. It lets you exchange Ethereum ETH directly into supported cryptocurrencies without transferring assets to a centralized exchange.

Yes. Because Ethereum ETH is on the eth network, you'll need a small amount of the network's native token to pay Gas fees. Without enough Gas, the transaction cannot be processed.

By default, the received tokens are sent to your current Bitget Wallet address. You can also change the receiving address before confirming the transaction.

A same-chain swap exchanges tokens within the same blockchain, while a cross-chain swap transfers value between different blockchains. Cross-chain swaps usually involve additional routing and therefore may require higher Gas fees.

Yes. Token approval is an on-chain transaction and requires a network Gas fee.

The final amount can be affected by the current market price of Ethereum ETH, liquidity, price impact, slippage, and applicable network or swap fees. The estimated amount may also change before the transaction is confirmed.

Yes, but rapid price movements can cause significant slippage and price impact. Check the quoted amount, slippage, and price impact immediately before confirming the transaction.
