Leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance has made a significant announcement regarding the EOS network. As part of an upcoming network upgrade and hard fork scheduled for September 25, 2024, at 16:00 UTC, Binance will temporarily suspend deposit and withdrawal operations on the EOS network. This maintenance is aimed at improving user experience and ensuring the security and efficiency of transactions.
Deposit and Withdrawal Operations to Resume Post-Upgrade
The hard fork and upgrade on the EOS network will take place at 17:00 UTC on the same day. During this period, trading of cryptocurrencies on the EOS network will continue unaffected. Binance reassured users that there is no need for concern, as the technical requirements will be managed on their behalf, and they will closely monitor the process.
Upon completion of the upgrade and hard fork, Binance will reopen deposit and withdrawal operations for cryptocurrencies on the EOS network. However, it emphasized the importance of ensuring the network’s stability and security before resuming operations, and no separate announcement regarding the reopening timeline will be made.
Once operations are back online, users will be able to deposit and withdraw normally using the EOS network. Binance urged users to stay vigilant and follow updates to avoid any inconveniences.
The Nature of Planned Maintenance and Upgrades
Such maintenance and upgrade works are regularly conducted to ensure that blockchain networks operate more securely and efficiently. Binance stressed that users will not face any disruptions in trading during this process, and the system will continue to function stably.
Binance has advised users to refrain from conducting any transactions during this time, assuring that services will return to normal as quickly as possible following the upgrade. Users can keep an eye on Binance’s official channels for updates regarding the reopening of deposit and withdrawal operations.
