Binance, a trusted platform for digital asset trading, has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the best user experience by supporting the network upgrade and hard forks of the BNB Beacon Chain (BEP2) and BNB Smart Chain (BEP20). Its purpose is to increase the efficiency and stability of these chains.
To facilitate the wallet maintenance required for the upgrade, Binance will temporarily suspend deposits and withdrawals for BNB Beacon Chain (BEP2) and BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) starting at 06:55 (UTC) on April 11, 2024. The maintenance process is estimated to take approximately one hour.
The BNB Beacon Chain (BEP2) network upgrade and hard fork is scheduled to occur at block height 373,526,985 on or about April 15, 2024, at 06:00 (UTC). During this period, Binance will suspend deposits and withdrawals for tokens on the BNB Beacon Chain (BEP2) network, starting at approximately 05:50 (UTC).
