UPDATE: Maintenance Mode Ending at 16:25 UTC

We have identified the root cause of the issue that caused connectivity problems in our systems, and we have implemented a fix. Our platform will go back online at approximately 16:25 UTC, initially via cancel-only mode. Trading will resume at approximately 16:30 UTC.

We remind our users that all funds have remained safe at all times and that our Support team will be reaching out individually to users who we can determine have been actively impacted by this situation once the issue has been rectified. Until continuous trading resumes, there will still be no Mark Price updates and hence no liquidations.

If you have any further questions, please contact Support.

UPDATE - [Maintenance Mode] Investigating Computing Platform Issue
We continue to investigate the root cause of the issues that have been causing connectivity problems in our systems, including intermittent access on API, Web and Mobile - as well as delays in Mark Price updates and processing withdrawals and deposits.
To facilitate the investigation and fix, at 13:05 UTC we put the platform into maintenance mode and we will be sharing updates as the investigation proceeds and we implement a solution. Once the solution has been implemented the exchange will reopen in cancel-only mode. From the halt of trading until continuous trading resumes, there will be no Mark Price updates and hence no liquidations.
