Binance to Suspend Base Network Transactions for Upgrade

According to the announcement from Binance, the platform will temporarily suspend deposits and withdrawals of tokens on the Base network starting approximately on 2026-05-21 at 17:00 (UTC). This suspension is to facilitate a network upgrade and hard fork scheduled to occur at around 18:00 (UTC) on the same day. The upgrade aims to enhance the network's performance and ensure an optimal user experience. The trading of tokens on the Base network will remain unaffected during this period. Binance assures users that it will manage all technical requirements related to the upgrade. Once the network is deemed stable post-upgrade, deposits and withdrawals will be reopened. However, no further announcements will be made regarding the reopening of these services. Users are advised to stay informed through official channels for any updates related to the network's status.
