Tech & Launches ·
Binance announced it will suspend deposits and withdrawals on the Filecoin network starting approximately 2026-10-19 11:59 UTC to support a scheduled network upgrade and hard fork. The exchange framed the maintenance window as necessary to ensure service continuity during the protocol change.
The suspension will affect FIL token transfers on the Filecoin network specifically, halting inbound and outbound activity on the exchange during the upgrade window. This type of operational pause is standard practice when major blockchain networks undergo coordinated protocol changes that require synchronized participation across infrastructure providers.
No timeline has been stated for when deposits and withdrawals will resume following the completion of the upgrade.
