How to Exchange PAX Gold to Ethereum
Select PAXG and ETH
Pick PAXG in “You send” and ETH in “You get”, then enter the amount. The box shows how much ETH you get and the minimum PAXG for this pair.
Enter Ethereum Address
Paste the Ethereum address that should receive the ETH (it starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters). Then enter the Ethereum address you send PAXG from; a refund, if ever needed, goes there.
Send PAX Gold
Send exactly the amount shown from your own Ethereum wallet to the one-time deposit address. Keep a little ETH in that wallet for the network fee.
Receive Ethereum
Your ETH is paid out once your PAXG deposit confirms, and Ethereum then confirms it in about 2–5 minutes. Most swaps finish within minutes. The exact time depends on how fast each network confirms your deposit. Follow each step on the status page with your swap ID.
Gold token in, gas coin out
PAX Gold is an ERC-20 token issued by Paxos, where each token stands for one fine troy ounce of gold held in a vault. ETH is the coin that runs Ethereum itself and pays for every transaction on it. This pair turns the first into the second without leaving the network.
Because both sit on Ethereum, nothing is bridged or wrapped. The PAXG leaves your wallet as an ordinary token transfer, and the ETH arrives as a normal balance at a 0x address, the same kind of address you already use.
Keep in mind that the two follow different markets. PAXG tracks the gold price, while ETH moves with crypto. After the swap, your balance no longer follows gold. Paxos, as issuer, can freeze PAXG held at a given address; that is a property of the token, and native ETH has no issuer who can do the same.
The gas catch: PAXG cannot pay its own fee
This is the problem most people hit with this pair. Sending any ERC-20 token, PAXG included, costs gas, and Ethereum only accepts gas in ETH. A wallet that holds PAXG and no ETH cannot start the swap, even though ETH is exactly what it wants to receive.
The fix is a small amount of ETH sent to the wallet first, from another wallet of yours or a friend. It only needs to cover one token transfer. Gas varies with network load, and the gas fee guide covers quieter times to send.
After that first swap, the problem is gone for good: the ETH you receive pays for whatever you do next on Ethereum. Leave some in the wallet rather than moving all of it on.
PAXG and ETH side by side
| PAXG (you send) | ETH (you receive) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Gold-backed token, one per troy ounce | Ethereum's native coin |
| Issued by | Paxos | No issuer |
| Network | Ethereum (ERC-20) | Ethereum mainnet |
| Address | 0x plus 40 hex characters | 0x plus 40 hex characters |
| Gas paid in | ETH | ETH |
| Can be frozen by the issuer | Yes | No |
| Explorer | Etherscan | Etherscan |
The rows that match are why this pair is simple: one wallet, one address format and one explorer cover both sides. MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger handle PAXG and ETH alike. The rows that differ are the reasons people swap in the first place.
Receiving ETH at your own 0x address
You may enter the very address you send PAXG from as the ETH payout address. Nothing breaks: the PAXG leaves it, and the ETH lands in it later. Many people prefer a separate address, which is also fine.
Make sure the payout address is on Ethereum mainnet in your wallet's view. A 0x address looks the same on layer-2 networks, but the ETH is paid on mainnet, and your wallet has to be set to that network to show it.
Before sending, open the PAXG entry in your wallet and check it on Etherscan. Copycat tokens with similar names exist, and only the real PAX Gold contract counts as a deposit. Look it up through the explorer's token page rather than a link sent to you.
Why people move from PAXG to ETH
Common reasons are practical. Some need ETH to pay gas for other tokens or apps. Some want to use Ethereum apps that take ETH but not gold tokens. Others are simply rebalancing and want part of a gold position in Ethereum's own coin.
PAXG holders also compare it with Tether Gold (XAUT), which is another gold token on Ethereum from a different issuer. They are separate coins in the exchange box, and this page takes PAXG only. If you want to switch between the two gold tokens, see PAXG to XAUT; for a dollar balance, PAXG to USDT ERC20.
Whatever the reason, nothing here needs an account. GhostSwap is a no-KYC crypto exchange: two addresses and the PAXG deposit are the whole process.
Rate, timing and refunds
The box shows the ETH you receive after fees for the PAXG you enter, from aggregated liquidity from leading crypto markets. Gold and ETH can move in different directions within the same hour, so the reference rate shifts often. The quote floats until your deposit confirms, and the box also lists this pair's minimum and maximum.
Ethereum confirms the PAXG deposit in about 2 to 5 minutes. Most swaps finish within minutes after that, and the ETH payout then confirms on Ethereum in about the same time.
If a swap cannot be completed, the coins are refunded to the sender address you entered. The swap ID opens a status page; if Etherscan shows your PAXG confirmed and the page stays still for a long time, contact support@ghostswap.io with the swap ID and the transaction hash.
Common mistakes
- Trying to send PAXG from a wallet with no ETH at all, so the token transfer cannot pay gas.
- Sending Tether Gold (XAUT) or a lookalike token to a PAXG deposit address.
- Moving every bit of the received ETH on and leaving nothing for later gas.
- Looking for the ETH on a layer-2 network view when it was paid on Ethereum mainnet.
- Sending PAXG directly from an exchange withdrawal, so a refund would not come back to your own wallet.
